    I briefly look at some of the main reasons why people don’t read the bible then show why those reasons aren’t valid. I conclude with three things the bible will help a person do.

George Washington said, “It is impossible to righteously govern the world without God and the Bible.” President Ronald Reagan said, “Within the covers of one single book, ...read more

What I am going to share tonight dovetails into what Pastor taught Sunday morning. I’m going to use the phrase “no excuses” in terms of where we are in our relationship ...read more

     | 3,151 views

    Let’s fast forward in time around 550 years from Daniel’s day. As we leave our time machine, we have left the ancient land of modern-day Iraq because we now find ourselves in Jerusalem. We arrive at the Mount of Olives at night, just outside the skirts of ancient Jerusalem.

    Daniel’s story is in your Bible so you’ll always know hope. Hope in the Christian sense is the confident and certain expectation of future blessings and the confidence that the best is yet to come. We need a hope that a virus cannot touch. We need a hope that a divorce cannot destroy. We need a ...read more
