As I was driving home recently, I listened to a radio program with two political candidates having a debate. One of the candidates had a very condescending tone and added a mean personal attack with almost every reply. As the debate continued, the other candidate seemed forced to ‘return-fire’ with his own sharp, personal jabs at the other man’s character … Read More

We just finished part 36 of our sermon series Samuel: King of Kings. Needless to say, we are well into our study of the 1 & 2 Samuel.

I recently watched a reality TV show about controlling brush fires in Florida. Each year in advance of the summer fire season, the Florida Department of Environmental Conservation sends a crew into the large swamps to intentionally start brush fires to eliminate flammable material.

On Monday, May 7th thirteen men and women gathered at King’s Chapel for our first Evangelism Workshop. (If you missed it, don’t worry. We plan to host another workshop in the near future).
