In the Kingdom There is No Tent

“With the Kingdom of Heaven in our hearts and minds, Church becomes a training ground instead of a baby sitting club. Church becomes a place where we seek to feed the world with our 5 loaves and 2 fishes, instead of a place of potlucks and  pizza parties.” (Pastor Les)   This morning we are going to take a look at an Old Testament scripture about God’s presence, about Heaven Coming to Earth to visit with Moses, and my desire…

Your Words Direct Your Life

“How do we destroy an argument?  With our words, chosen to counteract the argument of the enemy.  And, we choose the words of The One who has already won the argument.” (Steve Backlund) This is the last in our Renewal series about the power and place of declarations.  Les shares a powerful message that is sure to get you to shut your mouth and open it up again but this time filled with words from God. Les makes a statement…
