    You've heard the phrase, "God is good all the time and all the time God is good". But how do we define 'good'?

    Is the confession of John the Baptist, combined with the affirmation of God, enough for you to believe that Jesus is the Son of God? Or, do you still need Jesus to perform for you in order that you can be convinced that He is who He said He is?

    Jesus saves us from sin and shallow religion. He teaches us to practice our faith in private, not for public approval, but to build a solid core of self-giving love.

Let's start with a little object lesson. I want you all to imagine a cup. Now, this cup looks super shiny ...read more

And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on ...read more
