From Our Pastor

We talk about prayer and we preach about prayer, but when was the last time that we prayed with tears on our cheeks and fire in our souls?  Because when God’s people pray, mountains move, chains fall, prodigals come home, and the impossible becomes reality.
 
The greatest revivals in history didn’t begin with shouting; they began with sobbing.  They didn’t start with noise; they started with kneeling.  We don’t need more perfection in the pews; we need more honesty at the altar.
