     | 3,947 views

    Israel’s history helps us understand the dangers of sinful patterns today. Craving evil is a root that bears bad fruit. Only the cross can deliver us.

It reminded me of a bit of ...read more

     | 6,122 views

    This is a Easter sermon dealing with the pain of Good Friday its connection with the pain of Easter and the Joy of the Resurrected Christ.

    Easter moves us from Friday to Sunday, from death to new life. Friday, in Christian reckoning, is a null-point wherein the power of God is defeated by the empire of force.
