For the past few weeks, I’ve been teaching on the exhibits of Evidence, the Fruits of the Spirit [Galatians 5:22-23]. The Bible says we prove we’re followers of Christ when we produce much fruit [John 15:8]. This past Sunday we focused on presenting the evidence of meekness. Few...

I’m sure you’ve known people who spare no expense seeking peace. They purchase a new home, car or motorcycle. They rent mountain cabins, a beach condo or lake house. There are those who try to find peace through alcohol, drugs or relationships. Yet nothing they do brings...

It’s time to Man Up! This Father’s Day, I felt it imperative to define the qualities of a real leader.  To Man Up, is to be brave, to be daring, to fulfil your responsibilities despite any circumstances. It’s the difference between ACTING mature and BEING mature. The bible...

This weekend is all about Dad! For some, it’s time to try and find something to give Dad that he doesn’t already have. For others, they’ll only be able to pick up the phone because they live in another state. Yet for many, it’s about wanting to hear your dad’s...

Before you can exhibit ANY Evidence, you must accept “The Bitter Truth.” You can choose bitterness or the Holy Spirit, but both cannot reside in your heart. The choice is yours! If you were on trial for being a Christian, would you be convicted? Is there enough evidence in your...

For years I have warned people about being unforgiving or becoming angry. I’ve explained the destruction when it becomes bitterness and you allow it to take root in your soul. It seems everyone ‘Amens’ until it happens to them, and then “it’s different.” The...

Galatians 5:22-23 [TLB] defines the evidence of Spiritual Fruits “But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives He will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” Love is the first piece of evidence that the...

If the only thing someone experiences about Christ today is through you, what will your actions say about Him? As we live our lives, we face pressure, stress and frustrations. What is your daily reminder to be a living example of the love to Jesus Christ? One member of East-West Church shares...

There is huge difference between a professional fisherman and an amateur. Most people don’t know the basic elements of fishing, such as how to tie a lure or bait a hook, yet they take off expecting to win a tournament. First, you must determine what your target fish species is and go to...

My earliest recollection of my Father was that he was the Biggest, Strongest and most Fearless man I knew. I knew there was nothing my father, Harry Ararat Mushegan, could not do. When he set his mind to a task, he wouldn’t give up until he had conquered it. My Father was my mentor, my...

It’s been said that “Prayer is the key to heaven and faith unlocks the door.” Simply defined, prayer is submitting yourself to the Lord. It’s an outpouring of the heart, where pride is abandoned. Prayer is simply communicating with God. Many come before the Lord with a specific...

I’m so proud to be the Pastor of a church who has such a passionate Outreach team.  This team works tirelessly throughout the year supporting the women in our community. This year they are fighting harder than ever before by combining the Miles for Mammograms & Worship in Pink into...

“And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they...
