Sermons are not enough! We need more!

Posted on November 5, 2017 by Steve Simms

Living water is a dynamo flow, not a bottling plant

Posted on October 20, 2017 by Steve Simms

Bottled water is nice; but it is very limited and controlled. It’s good to give bottled water to thirsty people, but if done continually, people become dependent on the bottling plant, rather than on the true, living Source of the water. The … Continue reading →

The joy of uncertainty

Posted on August 25, 2017 by Steve Simms

Holiness: restrained from bad or inspired to be good?

Posted on June 11, 2017 by Steve Simms
