“Heroes” in the Hall of Faith – Hebrews 11:1-32
One of our missionaries preached on Sunday, May 5. He brought a message of hope. The “heroes” of the faith are often “zeroes” when we examine their lives more closely. But God looks at our faith in Him and forgives, restores, and uses us. We do not have to be a hero to serve God and have faith in Him.
The Living Hope – Acts 1:1-8 (Robert Brouillard)
Robert Brouillard is doing a formal internship in youth ministry and pastoral ministry with Pastor Tim. Robert is a student at Northeastern Baptist College.

Proof of Life: Love – 1 John 3:10-18
The proof of new life is love for our brothers and sisters in Christ. We need to not only be challenged in our love for others and be reminded of the call to love, but we also need to evaluate ourselves before God–whether or not we are showing God’s love towards others. As we have gone through 1 John, we have seen that the gospel not only demands right belief about who the real Jesus is, but also that once our…
Jesus Appeared to Destroy the Works of the Devil
Jesus explained in Luke 6:43-45, “For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” Christ explains—don’t…
