Day of Decision
On Palm Sunday, Jesus rode into Jerusalem. It was the start of Holy Week, a week that would leave him to the cross and to the grave. For us, like the crowd that day, it’s a day of decision. Will you respond with belief or unbelief? Join Dr. Marty Baker as he takes us through […]
Bold Belief Constantly Searches for Truth
What is truth? Join Dr. Marty Baker as he takes us through 1 John 4:1-6 and helps us understand how bold belief constantly searches to get at the heart of what is true. Prior to Judah’s final fall as a nation in 586 B.C., the people were divided into two camps. Politicians, priests, and prophets, […]
Bold Belief in Tough Times – Part 2
What if we were to live in light of who Christ is and who He says we really are? What difference would it make? Join Dr. Marty Baker as we take a look at 1 John 2:29-3:3 and continue to unpack what it means to have bold belief in tough times. As false, devious, and […]
Psalm 136 – Part 2
I received an excited and emotional call from one of our former members on Wednesday. After years of struggling with their son’s special needs and brain issues which caused violent, unpredictable seizures, a recent brain scan came back all clear. God had done what doctors and medicines said couldn’t be done. The parents know it, […]

How should Christians respond when the culture implodes and into the power vacuum steps ideologically driven people bent on silencing the Church, the voice of truth and morality?

Indecency replaced decency. The whole event really served as a on stage, quite public picture of what is going on in the public at large. Darkness fights against light, error masquerading […]
Psalm 14 – Part 3
Before I moved to Virginia, I developed a side job of taking care of the homes of well-to-do people in Stockton, CA. I hand-picked the jobs because I knew they would pay well for my expertise, plus I would get to tend to landscapes worth tending to. One lady in particular lived in a mansion […]
Psalm 14 – Part 2
Last year I took Liz, my children and grandchildren to Disneyland in Anaheim. I love that place. Liz loves it because her grandfather and grandmother used to manage a hotel basically down the proverbial street. As a young girl, she and her brothers basically lived at the park when they visited their family. I love […]
Psalm 14 – Part 1
Does God exist? Non-Christian philosophers Anthony Flew and John Wisdom devised a modern-day parable to shed light on the age-old question of all questions in life. Once upon a time two explorers came upon a clearing in the jungle. In the clearing growing side by side were many flowers and many weeds. One of the […]
