Christmas at Create

Pastor Banks 5 minute read   The temperature is dropping. Christmas is coming!

Charting Your Course- Before Jesus Returns

Paul Teske 5 minute read   I want to talk about something that very few people are discussing today. Jesus is coming back. And many Christians aren’t ready.

Charting Your Course- Who’s Your Shepard?

Pastor Banks  4 minute read   The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of […]
