Dec 27, 2015Becoming a World-Class ChristianPosted by Pastor Ralph Van OostveenThis Week Pastor Ralph shared with us on what it means to be a world-class Christian. The difference between a world-class Christian and a worldly Christian is why you do what you do. Are you serving to put on a show or are you seeing a need and being led by God to help? Do you post bible verses that are inspirational but aren't taking the time to really study the word? A world-class Christian is someone who is led by God in every moment of the day.

Nov 15, 2015Affluence, Attitudes & ActionPosted by Pastor Ralph Van OostveenSeries: StewardshipThis week Pastor Ralph talked about how we should view money. He shared that being poor doesn't make you more Godly or a better person. It's not about what you have or don't have, but it is about worshiping a God who gives all things. The bible tells the rich to be generous with their money. The love of money is what is evil. So whether you are rich or poor, we all need to be aware of our attitude towards money.
