    The primary purpose of the church is win people to Jesus, baptize them into Christ and teach them what Jesus wants them to know. But how do we, as individual Christians go about doing that?

The only problem: the coach wasn’t interested. John was too short and too slight to be a runner. But John’s friend ...read more

     | 3,508 views

    Like the disciples we must wait “a little while” to receive everything Jesus has promised us. And like the disciples there will be a time of grief while we wait. But Jesus promises that our grief will turn to joy.

    “In a little while you can go out and play.” “After a little while we’ll be going to the pool.” “After a little while I am going to be serving pie and ice cream.” “In a little while we’ll your mom and dad will be home.” “In a little while you can take a break.” “The doctor says that after a ...read more

    Jesus had no social prejudice nor felt inconvenienced; therefore, He was able to meet the needs of a woman from another country and different culture. Being spiritually-minded allows us to lower our prejudices towards those who are different.

    Leo Tolstoy, author of War and Peace and Anna Karenina, once said that “those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges, or beliefs” possess a state of mind that is not common, but essential for right ...read more

    Jacob left his home in Beersheba, heading to his uncle Laban's land, 450 miles away, in order to find a wife. Allowing five months for the journey, and a month before starting his seven-year contract, he was the original 90-month fiance'!

    (Full disclosure: Sermon Central has accepted two messages of mine in a series about Jacob dealing with his situation here, namely, how he got his two wives. They’re “Jacob-What He Did For Love” and “Jacob-Finding True Love--And More” but this message is not simply an edit of these two ...read more

    This message confronts Herod’s behavior, and how we as Christians need to change our behvior to be more reflective of a Christian lifestyle.

    This time of year, many people get around to making some "New Years Resolutions".

    LIVING IN THE WORLD 1 Peter 2:11-25 1 Peter 2:11-12 It should be no surprise to Christians that we are one of the main reasons lost people have no interest in Jesus Christ and the fact that He can save them.
