There are stories to be told from the Bible that speak of incredible feats accomplished by courageous women. These women will be long remembered because they allowed God to show his power through them. Join us as Pastor Stephen shares these stories and how we can apply them to our everyday lives whether you are a woman, or are her father/son/brother. This is a series for new believers, the casually curious, and the longtime follower. Hear about real encounters with Jesus. Maybe even meet Him yourself. See what happens.

So many of us lack faith in our lives, faith in those we work with, faith in our family's or spouses, faith in our future, but most certainly there is a lack of faith in this God that so many speak about. It seems faith is about as impossible as it is to walk on water. They say that Jesus walked on water, but what about us? We are humanity that is so desperate to believe in the supernatural, but can it be true? Join us as Pastor Stephen lays out the steps necessary to have the faith to walk on water through the rough oceans of this perilous life.

But for every excuse, God will always be with us and equip us if we just step out in faith.

They say that “Patience is a Virtue,” but what does it mean to live a life that exudes patience?
