Jeff Maness – February 14, 2021 What am I praying for our church? If our prayers matter, and they do, we should be praying with an eternal mindset, not just a temporal one. In the book of Acts there is one verse, Acts 9:31, that forms one of the main prayers we should be praying...
Jeff Maness – December 20, 2020 When we hear the word “peace” we so often think of the world around us or what happens to us: Physical peace, financial peace, relational peace, political peace. And while Jesus is the way to lasting peace, it’s not the kind of peace we imagine. The peace Jesus gives...

Jeff Maness Peace is not the way many of us would describe our lives. We are often busy, overwhelmed, unprepared and afraid. In this Christmas Eve message, we look at how the our circumstances might be out of control, but our souls can be given peace!
Jeff Maness All of us carry burdens eventually. Whether they are burdens of our own making or burdens outside our control, we each face seasons where we are weary and heavy burdened. Part of the gift of Christmas is that Jesus offers us a solution to our burdens.
