    Jesus drops a bombshell while performing a miracle, confronting Messianic expectations. Can we trust Jesus' word that he has the authority to forgive sins?

    One of the greatest science-fiction movie scenes of all time is the scene from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, in which Luke Skywalker, the young hero of the rebel forces, the man in whom we are putting all our hope, confronts and duels the leader of the evil and oppressive Empire, Darth Vader. ...read more

    Have The Mind Of Christ Jesus

    In Philippians 2 we find the great imperative command that we need to "have the mind of Christ Jesus." Is that possible? Can our minds be so transformed by the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit that we can actually have the mind of Christ Jesus within us?

    Have the Mind of Christ Jesus Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:6-8 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.

    Maybe the future of our country looks uncertain; or we are living under oppressive leadership. But when we recognize that God is still on the throne, we find the confidence necessary to carry on with boldness!

    I wish to begin our message by sharing something about the time in which Dietrich Bonhoeffer lived. The Nazi regime ascended to power on January 30, 1933. “Two days after Hitler was installed as Chancellor, Bonhoeffer delivered a radio address in which he attacked Hitler and warned Germany ...read more

    God Appoints His Servants

    God said both Nebuchadnezzar and Cyrus were His "servants." One brought national ruin; the other brought restoration. We need to trust that whoever is leading - king, prime minister, president - that God has placed them for a reason.

    Leading up to the presidential election, we all had a favorite candidate whom we desired to win; someone who would represent our values. We envisioned how he would bring about prosperity and freedom to our nation; but if he lost, we envisioned the end of the world. Anyone of any political party ...read more

    An idea is being floated in our nation that citizens must pay for the sins of the past in something called "reparations." This message asks if this concept is biblical. Praise be to God that He does not require reparations from us!

    I want to begin our message this morning by bringing an awareness of a modern-day proposal that is being floated in our local, state, and federal governments, and then tie that in to what Ezekiel has to say in our passage. Across our nation, people are talking about something called “reparations.” ...read more

    The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth (John 1:14).

    THE WORD MADE FLESH. John 1:1-14. I. THE ETERNAL WORD. John 1:1-3. “In the beginning” (John 1:1) takes us back to a point before the creation of the heavens and the earth.

    A hallway is a place of transition, and a place of testing. It is what you do in the hallways of life that will determine the doors God will open for you. From Ps. 105 we use Joseph as our example and look at the trials, tests, and triumphs of hallways.
