An Invitation to Discipleship from Pastor David

“Jesus Christ is calling us to serve, but we work and serve in the strength which He gives. He is always there beside us pulling the weight for us, if we will only yield our lives to Him. The only time the load becomes overbearing is when we try to take over and do the pulling, or handle the load ourselves. Jesus bared the shame, punishment and finally death on the cross for your sake, for God to forgive you and to have a relationship with you in heaven forever. If you desire to have a relationship with Jesus its as simple as praying this prayer.

"Lord Jesus, forgive me of my sins. I love you and want you in my life. Please come into my heart and cleanse me. Amen" As your pastor my door is always open, if you need help or have questions I am here for you.
