    God’s purpose for the church will be accomplished. But will we be part of it? That depends.

    I love this illustration from Sermon Central: A teacher was asking children in his Sunday school class, “If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would I get to heaven?” “NO”! The children answered. “If I cleaned the church everyday, mowed the yard, ...read more

    This message will be unpopular because it challenges the foundation of those claiming to have this authority.

    Apostolic Authority I realize this is not a popular message, but I also believe it is necessary and relevant to a biblically sound church. This is a follow up to the message, ‘Is Speaking in Tongues Essential?’ In this message, we looked at scripture that testified that not all Christians under ...read more

    If we like Phillip, not get caught up in preaching the Word to masses, but go to one soul, it is worth it.

    1 SOUL IS WORTH IT Acts 8:1-8, 12-17 & 25-40 Today’s message is having to do with going after the one soul, the one life for Jesus. As believers, we should pursue the salvation of even one soul as we never know what that person’s life will bring about to the glory of God and to His kingdom. ...read more
