"I know this church."

Those were the words of a local delivery driver who walked into Linden Road.

Years ago, she was in a difficult place, and this church placed a simple set of kitchenware in her hands. Today? She passed those same pots down to her daughter.

Chaos says you’re too small to make a difference. The Principle of Placement says that when a 'good thing' is put in the 'God spot,' it creates a legacy that lasts for ...

Two weeks ago at the Emmaus Walk, the lights went out. Recently, the Northern Lights appeared in our own backyards—but only for those who got away from the artificial lights.

Life is full of "unexpected" moments that catch us off guard.

Join us this Palm Sunday as we pivot from our series on the Prophet Elisha to the streets of Jerusalem...
