    An authentic Christian is one who hungers and thirsts for righteousness. Jesus calls these believers blessed. He also promises that He will fill those, and give us all of our desires if we seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.

    All religious books claim to be the word of God, but prophecy sets the Bible apart as having God’s seal of authentication. This section focuses on the measure of a prophet and the accuracy of scripture.

    Accuracy of Prophecy (Part 1 of 6) Prophecy is an integral part of scripture from Genesis to Revelation. It is prophecy that sets the Bible apart from all world religions.

    Ram With Two Horns (Part 2 of 6) Chapter 8 of Daniel describes a powerful ram with two horns that is soon defeated by a male goat with one powerful horn.

    The 70th Week (Part 5 of 6) Look again at Daniel 9: 26 "And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.

    Holy Saturday is a day of mourning and lament. We would do well in modern Christianity to learn how to authentically pour our pain out to God like the Psalmist.

    Dare to Hang On One More Day Jn 19:30; Ps 22 Holy Saturday: April 19, 2003 Intro: I have no doubt that the Sabbath which began the day Jesus was crucified was the worst Sabbath the disciples had ever known. It was supposed to be a day of worship and celebration. And the Passover Sabbath was ...read more

    In Mark 8:27-38, Jesus provides six marks of an authentic follower of Jesus, and these serve as the basis of this six question test to determine the reality of your Christian faith.

    The “How Do I Know I’m A Christian?” Test Mark 8:27-38 There are a lot of people who think they’re Christians and really aren’t. Then there are some Christians who have no assurance that they are Christians and are afraid they’re not Christians. Then there ...read more

     | 2,519 views

    The Scriptures are the inspired, authentic self-revelation of God and as such have primary and foundational authority in all matters of what we believe, what we value, and how we live.

    Last week we focused on the purpose of the Scriptures: what are they for and why should we bother getting ourselves acquainted with them? We learned the Bible is God’s self-revelation that pulls back the curtain for us to know who God is, who we are, the purpose of our lives, and the destiny of the ...read more

    We all were identified with Adam and Eve. It’s because of the sinful nature of Adam and Eve we were identified with them. We were married to their nature so to speak. But, now we have Christ and we have a new identity.

    Constant battle but, everlasting victory! Romans 7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be ...read more

    Are there good reasons to believe that Christian Theism is the most plausibly true religion? If so, Jesus demands our attention, our faith, our love and our total devotion.

     | 1,053 views

    Just what is it that makes a church authentic? The greatest challenge that we find as we try to follow Jesus is dedicating ourselves to the truth of the Scripture in a culture that tends to base their lives on their own opinions instead of on the truth of God's word.

    I don't think I need to tell any of you that our church is going through a new phase. We are about to enter into a new stage of growth for this church beginning in January. I have asked God what words can I bring to the church that would make this transition a lot easier so that we can remain ...read more
