### 5/5 — Thankful you Too the Call on your life serious

*2022-05-14*

Not only does the Pastor teach His word Directly from The Bible..  the Pastor makes sure he explains HOW to apply in todays world! 
I appreciate the application sooo much. TheWord is a beautiful guide & you do a great job explaining it. 
Sermons are realistic but filled with Hope breathe of fresh air.
Too many pastors are trying to scare or mislead their flock. Doom and gloom or do the opposite and give motivational speeches of some New age.  That does little to raise up Righteous children of thr Highest King. I live in Michigan and I Thank God each day your church crossed by on YouTube 
🤍🙏🏽

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2020-08-13*

I just love Pastor Dave and I started originally receiving CD’s through mail and I graduated to the APP and oh I can think of a subject and find it and send weeks. I did the book of 
 Daniel and the Jesus study and that was close to a year. I am searching the listing to find a great one which they are all great. During Covid this is a guarantee cure for Boredom. This Church is wonderful and I say tune in live so you can hear the worship team.  A great work of the Lords through all whom help present this wonderful service to God’s children!
