    The ball that drops at Times Square is called the "Star of Hope" and on its face are the "wishes" of our nation for courage, peace, fellowship etc. But if we listen to Scripture, we have a hope based on something more than "wishing upon a star."

    OPEN: Tonight at 11:59 pm, over one billion people all across the world will be watching as the “ball” drops in New York City’s Times Square. That got me to wondering about the history of the New Year’s Eve “ball” and what I discovered was intriguing: · The 1st "time-ball" was installed on top of ...read more

    Jesus had a lot to say but sometimes people wouldn’t listen. They say that preaching is the fine art of talking in someone else’s sleep. There was a man that was so preoccupied with other thoughts that he missed what Jesus had to say. I want you to hear what Jesus is saying! Jesus sermon ...read more

In thinking they can serve both the Lord and idols, Israel is like an unturned pancake - burned on one side, uncooked ...read more
