The point of the lessons was outward focused, to searchers, to help them understand the difference in how we approach God if there is only one God ...read more

    What we sometimes sing, we also think and feel in our hearts: who of us do not want to be with family and loved ones this time of year? To see smiling faces that reflect love, acceptance, and goodwill?

    Matthew 2:13-23 “Following Where He Leads” Friends in Faith and Christ, In 1943 – the middle of World War II – Bing Crosby recorded the popular song, “I’ll Be Home for Christmas … if only in my dreams.” I learned this week that the song was not written to be understood the way many of us think ...read more

    It wasn’t enough that Saul had Go’s Spirit within him. He also needed to respond to the Spirit’s prompting with obedience. We need to listen to God’s voice and respond as he would have us respond. "Surely, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed tha

     | 3,270 views

    This Sunday we’ll be looking at how as believers we are victorious and that nothing can separate us from the love that God has for us through Christ because in and through Him we are more than conquerors. And then we’ll look at the preeminence of Christ that seals the deal.

    Victorious Christianity Romans 8:35-37 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=781uf4ezvXY As I was looking at the Love of Christ last week, and how it constrains us, that is, how it restrains us but at the same time compels us, right before that Paul said something that follows through on his ...read more

    Sermon four in a fourteen sermon series based on the popular Bible study by Henry Blackaby.

    Paul tells us to “work out our salvation.” Notice that he doesn’t tell us to “work for our salvation.” In other words, he is telling us that we need to allow the salvation that is ours to be lived out in our daily lives.
