    Jesus reminds us that the trash that comes out of our mouth actually has a hidden source.

    People who move to the United States from non-English speaking countries typically have a difficult time learning our language – and understandably so. English is a weird language.

     | 18,391 views

    What does Jesus means when He says blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the unforgivable sin?

    Max Lucado says that one of the most difficult truths he has had to come to grips with is that God's grace is big enough to extend to someone like Jeffery Dahmer. If you recall, Dahmer was the young murderer in Milwaukee a few years ago who cut up the bodies of his victims. While in prison, Dahmer ...read more

    The words that come out of our mouth reveal what is in a person's heart, shows what that individual really is like.

    There was an ad on the radio a while ago which proclaimed that "people judge you by the words you use." It was for a program that was intended to help you build-up your vocabulary. Now, it is probably true that many of us assume that someone who uses four- or five-syllable words in their ...read more

     | 15,059 views

    Why Christmas is such an important celebration and why 2000 years after His birth, Jesus Christ is worthy of our trust, love, and devotion.

    In less than two weeks it will be Christmas and almost all of us will celebrate the birth of someone born 2000 years ago. Why? That is the question of the day. What makes Jesus Christ so special? Why isn't the birthday of Mohammed, Confucius, or Buddha the biggest holiday of the year? Why does our ...read more

    This sermon reveals the true power of our words and our responsibility as Christians to choose them wisely.

    “Sticks and Stones...” There is a familiar old saying that we’ve all heard, it goes like this; “sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.” Now, this is a response that probably everyone in this room today has uttered in the wake of some terrible barrage ...read more

    Jonah’s experience helps us understand God’s grace again. Hiding and running from God never pays, coming home to his will is the only way.

    When God calls, which way do you run? Jonah is a classic Bible story. Someone has pointed out that in the first chapter Jonah ran away from God. In the second chapter, he ran back to God. In the third chapter he ran with God, but in the fourth chapter he ran ahead of God. Jonah was a ...read more

    I don’t recommend very many movies – and I especially don’t recommend the movie I’m about to mention.

    I have a recurring dream – a nightmare, really. It takes three forms – at least one of which I’m sure you are familiar. In the dream I am either going to school, going on stage, or going on the air reporting the news on TV. In each case I arrive at my destination with no idea what I am supposed to ...read more
