    If God is allowed to lead our families, we all live already in His healing and salvation.

Morality, religion and personal development have become secondary to the pressures of careerism. We play according to ...read more

    We have been waiting and watching through November and December. Simeon and Anna, too, were waiting, and now, like these senior saints, our wait is over. Lord, now let Your servants depart in peace; according to Your Word.

    Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Waiting. It seems that for the past couple of months that’s what we have been talking about. During the month of November we spoke of waiting and watching for the final coming of our Lord. We heard ...read more

    I make the argument that Jesus begins to learn about His relationship to God the Father during the event when He was left in the Temple when He was 12-years-old.

     | 17,774 views

    This sermon’s purpose is to show that one cannot separate or make a distinction between having favor with God or experiencing God’s grace.

    Favour or Grace, You can’t separate the Two (Luke 2:39-52) I’ve often heard, he or she has found favour in the sight of God. For quite some time that phrase puzzled me. It puzzled me so much to the extent that I sought to found scriptural backing for such a statement. While searching ...read more

    You don’t know you misplaced something until you need it. Have you taken your fellowship with Jesus for granted?

    Misplacing Jesus Luke 2:41-52 Have you ever misplaced something? You knew you hadn’t lost it, you just could not find it. Maybe it was your wallet, a pen or your car keys.

    Being dead is not good. It’s not good for you and it’s certainly not good for anyone else. Being alive is much better...agree, I thought so. Yea, I know some say "isn’t it better to be dead and out of this sin cursed world and be with Jesus". Sure it is

    At what point in your life are you ready to let go and meet your Savior?

    When will you be content to die? This is a strange theme the Sunday after Christmas. Who wants to talk about dying, the day after Christmas or any day for that matter?
