Help for the Hurting

Do you feel like you're hurting? Whether you are suffering physically, mentally, or spiritually, there is help. In this amazing passage from Luke 13 a woman who had suffered for 18 years finds immediate relief. Check out Joe's sermon from the Scotch Ridge pulpit:

The Race Course God Has Set before You

Have you ever felt like your life is marathon and you have just reached the 20-mile mark and "hit the wall"? God has laid out a course for each of us. Usually it is long and challenging.
