    Erasing the excuses for being exclusive.

    Today is National Ice Cream Day. Did you know that when ice cream was invented the Quakers thought it was sinful. According to them it had to be sinful. Nothing could taste that good and not be sinful! That kind of sums up the perspective of a lot of Christ followers. If anything is fun - it ...read more

    We often let ’cultural Christianity’ override the truth of God’s grace in our relationships

    There’s a story about a mother who handed her six-year-old son two candy balls, and told him to share with his four year old brother. She said, “He may spit it out, because they’re kind of sour tasting. But if he keeps sucking on it, there’s bubble gum in the middle”. The older boy ran ...read more

    Today the partition that is set by God is Christian and non-Christian

    All Men are Cleansed! Abraham made his servant aware that he would not take a wife from the people around them but rather to return to his kins people and there take him a wife. And it came to pass that Rebeka was choosen. Isaac charged Jacob not to take a wife of Canna but return to his ...read more

    God accepts ALL sorts of people in his family -- and we need to as well!

    Acts 10:1-48 We continue our study of the Book of Acts, and we now come to chapter 10. It opens with a Gentile soldier named Cornelius, who is told by God in a vision to send for Peter.

    Peter discovers that God has more in mind than just the people of Israel as he’s taken outside his comfort zone to share the gospel with Cornelius

    It’s a weird story isn’t it? Peter’s up on the roof of Simon the Tanner’s house in the middle of the day praying and he starts to feel hungry. So he asks the cook to prepare some lunch and while he’s waiting he falls into a trance. Perhaps the heat of the day has got to him. Perhaps he starts to ...read more

    Acts 10:9-16 – From Lamb to Ham I’ve been wanting to preach this message for some time. And right after Easter is a good time to do it. Today I’m talking about one of the changes that Jesus made by His life and death. I’m talking about food. Now, our religion has very little to do with ...read more

    We are fortunate that the Holy Spirit has been poured out on us. There are many people that want to know more about God, but don’t know where to begin.
