(written by John Adams, Blount Campus Worship Pastor) Recently my wife, Julie, and I responded to God’s call for us to move away from our home and jobs in south Florida.

Do you ever wonder why things happen in your life? Many times I have asked this question when “not-so-good” things happen. My only answer that brings peace comes from God’s Word. “…but this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God.” – 2 Corinthians 1:9b As I am writing this blog post, [...]
Hello Faith Promise Family, The new year started off in an amazing way as we saw God move throughout our last sermon series.

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Jesus, Matthew 7:13-14 Jesus asks us to do some [...]
Through out our lives we are trained to be leaders not followers. As kids and teenagers we were told that it’s far better to lead than to follow. As adult we are encouraged to blaze a trail and lead the way towards the American dream. Even in our work place we are encouraged to be [...]
Preschool (2yrs-PreK) This week your preschooler is learning how to talk to God. As silly as that sounds, in Matthew 6:5-13, Jesus taught us how to talk to God. We aren’t supposed to babble about nothing just so we can “check that off our list”. We aren’t supposed to pray just so people see us [...]

Preschool (2yrs-PreK) We will continue learning this week to… LOVE GOD WITH ALL OUR HEARTS!! Our lesson comes from the story of Saul. Saul, if you aren’t familiar, became Paul.
