Sermonette: Dave PerMar
Harmony in the Body: Each Member Matters
In a symphony orchestra, each instrument has a role and contributes its unique sound, blending together in perfect harmony. Similarly, each member of the Church plays a vital role in God's Grand Symphony.

Sermon: Rick Shabi
Could You Be Shutting Yourself Off From the Kingdom of Heaven?
It is God's desire for all men to come to repentance and enter His Kingdom. Christ "gave it all" and God gives us His Spirit to help us overcome this world, as Christ did, so that His purpose and will for mankind could be achieved. Yet, many will not enter in because they "shut themselves off" from His Kingdom. In this sermon, we will see how this danger might befall us, and how we can guard against it.

David PerMar

I was born and raised in Orlando, Florida. My first day of Church attendance was December 22, 1990 and was baptized on November 11, 1991. I attended Ambassador College from 1993-1995 and have a Bachelor of Science degree in Cybersecurity from Champlain College. I serve as a Deacon in the Cincinnati Congregation.

My hobbies include singing and songwriting. My favorite Scripture is Matthew 6:33 because it helps me stay focused on the fact that Jesus Christ is coming back to Earth to establish the Kingdom of God. And that's going to be awesome!
