About

This website is dedicated to an apartment building owned and occupied by my fellow church-members. In a meeting, Pastor Thomas called our building "The Pillars" and encouraged each of us to become "pillars of the community" by making a difference where we live. The name stuck, and although most of the original occupants have moved on, the neighborhood is still a much nicer place than when we first arrived.

Church Talk

I'm excited about what Jesus is doing for me, and I'm excited about what I'm doing for Jesus. I'm excited about living a life that matters. I don't mean that in a self-centered way, but I'm thankful to have the privilege to preach the gospel message.

What Do You See?

Saints, if you try to run this race without passion, you will run out of fuel.

Expect A Miracle

Church, I want you to live such a life that miracles can take place. And miracles are not so that you can say "See what I've done!". Miracles are so that God can be glorified. The Bible says that we should be ambassadors, but I want you to be more than that; I want you to be conduits through which God's blessings can flow.

Pastorship

A pastor is a shepherd; someone who watches over our soul so that we can be spiritually healthy and successful.

Prayer Works

God wants to bless you; he wants to answer your prayers. He doesn't want anything but the best for you.

Not By Sight

This message is designed to encourage you, to remind you that we are serving God in spirit and in truth. It is designed to remind you that you can see through your eyes but not with your eyes. It is designed to encourage you in the path to heaven. In a time when Satan can use any suffering, any distraction to keep you off the path, this message is designed to put you back on track. I hope and pray that you open your heart and mind and listen to what God has for you this morning.

Memorial Day

This Memorial Day, look beyond the ceremony and observance of tradition. Remember the lessons of the past by making them personal.

Message: An Easter Attitude

Pastor Thomas

Today I'm going to tell the Easter story:

Acts 2:22-28
  1. Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
  2. Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
  3. Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
  4. For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
  5. Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
  6. Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
  7. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

Doubters could not keep Jesus In in the grave.

Doubters were there.
