A CHURCH THAT HEALS?
October, 27, 2024 Pastor Sam Goins

What role does God play in your happiness?
God wants you to experience happiness, but not at the expense of holiness.
… Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then. 15But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. 16For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:14-16 NLT

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4-9

Why Don’t I Feel Like Enough?
September 29, 2024 Sam Goins
Without Christ, I am not enough.
Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ … Colossians 2:8-10 NLT

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money,
