     | 9,935 views

    A sermon for a NEW YEAR, based on a striking text from Dt. 29:29. As we enter a new year, we cannot know the SECRET (unknown) THINGS that the year will bring, but God has REVEALED to us his commandments, his priorities, and how to enter into a relationship with him through Jesus Christ.

    THE SECRET THINGS AND THE REVEALED THINGS—Dt. 29:29 If you could know the future, would you do things differently? ***I was playing basketball with my brother, and I noticed an older guy who seemed to play every day. I asked my brother what he did for a living, and my brother informed me that ...read more

    Last week's sermon was on acceptance. So with a follow-up sermon on tolerance you might be wondering if it's going to be redundant. Though it's common to use the words interchangeably, they are different for a reason.

    Jesus said that our righteousness must exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees. This means that He wants us to exceed the spiritual expectations prescribed by the Law; as we are to strive for excellence in our walk with God.

    I have entitled our message, “Exceeding Expectations,” and I want to begin by sharing a true story. A contractor in Mexico was hired to build a Catholic Church, but he used cheap materials in order to make more money. He reasoned that the quality of the materials did not matter, so long as the ...read more
