Deep Enough / Pastor Dexter

Are the difficulties of life wearing you down?

The giant sequoia tree can grow to be nearly 300 feet tall and weigh up to 500 tons. The surprising reality is that its roots only grow 6-12 feet deep. Known for surviving floods, winds, and forest fires, the secret to the sequoia's longevity and survival is its intertwined roots with other trees.

In today's broadcast, Pastor Dexter discusses the importance of being "Deep Enough."

Royal Identity

Royal Identity

Have you ever asked the question, "who am I?" We live in a world that revolves around the idea of IDENTITY. From their day of birth, people are defined by many characteristics: name, hometown, looks, and abilities. But the question stands: "who does God say I am?"  In today's broadcast, Pastor Dexter explores the scriptural term "royal priesthood" and reminds believers that our identity is found in Christ.
