"What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin;how can we live in it any longer? 3 Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the de...

Matthew 18:21-35
What has God forgiven us for through his precious son, Jesus?
There is no amount of words that could possibly encompass the magnitude of our forgiven sins. Jesus's parable about the unmerciful servant is a humbling example of the quickness of our hearts to hold onto offenses committed against us when we in fact shouldbe held accountable for our countless...

What is fasting?
God requires his people to humble themselves and show our dependence on Him, and a simple, practical way to humble ourselves is through fasting.
Fasting is a way to express to God, "As hungry as I am right now for physical food, I'm more hungry for YOU! As much as I depend on food f...

Healing Stories
Below are healing stories that have popped up in our church community since 2020 started.

"At church I was one of the people who came up to the front to ask for healing. I asked Dan Dornacker to pray for my eyesight in my left eye which has been diagnosed with Macular Degeneration. I realized in late October I was starting to have some problems seeing with that eye...

Follow Up From Sermons
Last Sunday's message went a long way towards de-stigmatizing two wrongs ways of thinking still present to some degree in the larger Church today. They are:
The idea that there is automatically something seriously wrong morally with a child of God who is struggling with any emotional and/or psychological illness.
The idea that only prayer is an immediate cure to such i...

Follow Up From Sermons
Unity is, or should be, a primary goal in every Christian congregation. With the possible exception of ongoing rank heresy or unrepented mass wrongdoing going on there should be no reason why Spirit-led Christians cannot work through all their differences and get along.

How do you see Jesus?
Years ago, I embarked on a project to research divine healing. Oddly, it led me to a Jesus I had never known growing up in church.

I was in the midst of enduring my fifth miscarriage last weekend when Chris shared his sermon on prayer for healing. It had been an intense few weeks involving the excitement and uncertainty of a new pregnancy, the fear of something going wrong, the crushing feeling of having our fears realized at the lack of heartbeat at the first ultrasound, and then two weeks of the p...

New Year's Stories
I have always known and accepted Jesus as my savior. However, I have never been to a church with such a real emphasis on transparency. The fact that this authenticity exists with True Life has prompted me to work more towards getting closer to knowing Jesus Christ. I did want to reach out a bit and say a few things on New year's but my circumstances have been a bit of a "L...
