    This sermon is one of encouragement to the believers. People at times will try to make you feel bad of your past life. No matter what you have done Jesus the Christ will meet you where you are and will forgive you of your sins if you want Him to.

    Introduction: When we think of the term Superman, our first thought is that man named Clark Kent who was a reporter for the Daily Journal. He was arkward, clumsy, appeared weak, defenseless, and was always in someone’s way. He was highly in love with Lois Lane and was too shy to let her know. ...read more

    This sermon shows how we should have the determination of a Pit Bull to do God’s will and constantly seeking and encouraging those to find Christ who do not have a relationship with Jesus the Christ.
