The Meaning of the Lord’s Supper

When we participate in the Lord’s Supper, we are not merely going through a religious ritual. Instead, we are actively engaging in the blood and body of Christ.

God Reaffirms the Covenant

A Covenant is a commitment, a promise, and is only as reliable as the person who makes it. John illustrated by offering a dollar to anyone who could do 5 jumping jacks in front of the church. Hannah accepted and received her dollar upon completion. We trusted John to give her the dollar but a... Read More

Water is a necessity for both mankind and animals. Egypt had the Nile River. Abram told Sarai to lie to Pharaoh about who she was so... Read More

The Anabaptist Separation from Zwingli

The movement that became known as Anabaptists was characterized by its focus on Scripture and gatherings of scholars for the purpose of study.
