    This is a controversial but hopefully delicate sermon about Jesus’ appearance to Peter, and about how some things just aren’t our business to know.

    1 Corinthians 15:1-8 – What About Peter? Tonight we are going to start off by reading our scripture, a very early creed of the church. It was like an Apostle’s Creed, a few brief but clear lines of doctrine about what the early believers actually believed. Let’s read 1 Corinthians 15:1-8. ...read more

    I just want to go on record again as saying; these 2 weeks have not been a Muslim bashing, but rather it’s been an exposing of the mystery behind the veil that makes Islam so intriguing to its 1.5 billion followers. Last week we found out the complexity of the Muslim messenger and the confusion of ...read more
