    It has been said that "you will never walk on water if you do not get out of the boat." And yet, too often we fail to think about the next step. This sermon is meant to encourage those afraid to step out in faith as well as those who are sinking!

    Many centuries ago, a man named Peter stood on the edge of a boat in the Sea of Galilee. Like all people who find themselves on an edge - whether physical or metaphorical - a decision had to be made. Peter’s choice was to either to step out onto the water or remain in the boat. Not an easy ...read more

    The Christmas message was humilty. God could have come in glory and power but came as a humble baby born in a manager. Why did He do this?

    The Christmas message was humility. Did you get it? Philippians 2:5-11 Jesus came to earth. He was born in a humble barn, into a lower middle class family in a lowly town.
