    This is an idea I received while listening to a cassette of Bro. Bob Harrington "The Chaplain of Bourbon Street" He is a dynamic speaker and a great man of God.

    There are some who do not completely understand the joy we have in being Christians. A lot of people are like a little boy who went to see his grandfather…. My friends, God did not save us to let us sit and sour. He expects us too be an example to a lost and dying world of His love. Too many times, ...read more

    This sermon encourages believers to embrace the confronting nature of the gospel message. Jesus said that the gospel I bring is a gospel of conflict and separation. It will disturb family lines and family ties. It will separate the closest relationships.

Some historians say that Luke the beloved physician grew up and was educated in this area. This area was thriving metropolis, a trade center and sea port. ...read more

    The Not So Great Escape Curt Deming Melbourne Community Church I love prison escape movies. It seems that no matter how badly they behaved to get themselves into prison, once they start trying to get out, I’m rooting for them to make it.
