    Perhaps the biggest need that most people have today is for a true friend. Studies show that the single biggest reason why churches grow is that members bring their friends to worship with them. Without friends, life is almost too much to bear. The follow

     | 11,996 views

    I am intrigued by the unwillingness of lost men to ask for directions. It is a complaint so common it is a frequent subject of jokes and TV comedies. Almost every woman has a story about a man who drove around for hours looking for someplace and refused

    The Directionally Impaired Man In researching for this message, I came across a joke that is told about a couple relating their vacation experiences to a friend. "It sounds as if you had a great time in Texas," the friend observed. "But didn’t you tell me you were planning to visit Colorado?" ...read more

    We are almost there - to experiencing the heart of Christmas – to experiencing a miracle laying in a manger, to being touched by the Spirit of Christmas so don’t give up, don’t try to speed it up the miracle, instead cherish the moments that lead up to th

    What a day!!! In all of the history of humanity there was never a more important few weeks than the time that passed between the suffering of Jesus on our behalf and the arrival of the Holy Spirit. It is almost too great an event to tell as it cannot be given the justice it deserves!

    Pentecost - The Church Is Born! Today we will be reading from Acts 2:1-13 Last Sunday we took a look at a combination of Jesus’ ascension into Heaven and the Holy Spirit being given to all of humanity on the Day of Pentecost. In doing so we contrasted the work of God in the Old Testament and the ...read more

    Philemon (meaning "beloved") has only one chapter; it was written to the man called Philemon, and that is almost all we know about this person, except, of course, that which can be ascertained from the Epistle itself. It is short and of a private nature,

     | 982 views

    God's works are many in the world and of particular beauty. Yet there is also the proclivity of man toward evil. God allows for free will, which opens the doors to almost any possibility. Which explains why the world is so messed up.

    “There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires ...read more
