Yawn… Retirement is 1000 Miles Away

Retirement may seem like as if it is waaaaay down the road. So many other necessities, responsibilities and emergencies devour the meager paycheck. “I know I should begin to think about retirement. Maybe tomorrow!” NO, stewardship demands RIGHT NOW!

Hell, No! … or Yes?
Rev. Brian Dainsberg, Lead Pastor of Alliance Bible Church, Mequon

Soul Care in the Storm
Matt Harris, President of Luke 9:23 Ministries
We will all face storms in this life. The storm has the power to destroy your faith or purify it. Matt knows a thing or two about storms. Come hear his story and learn how your coming storm might purify and strengthen your faith.
