Learn how and why Satan uses idolatry to counterfeit the truth and continues to seek to deceive the world about the nature of the true God.

The Plan of God was prepared before the creation of the world and recorded within scripture for you and me to know that God loves us more than we can fully understand.

Job and Jesus

The story of Job show the life of a human being who pleased God and was considered to be prefect in his generation. As we examine the story we regularly find fault but we need to remember that Job is a fore-running type of Christ and the level of suffering that he endured is only a shadow of the suffering that Jesus subsequently endured.

What is faith, we know that without faith it is impossible to please God so faith is very important. This sermon is to help you know faith and strengthen our relationship with God our Father.
