    Jesus offers freedom from our past and from our bondages. We don’t have to make peace with our chains and just get used to them, because Jesus came to set free those who are captive! You can grow! You can and should move forward in your faith!

    “If it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin.

    How Do I Strengthen My Faith? Series

    The church of Colossae was dealing with a new form of teaching similar to the kind of thing we witnessed with Tom Hanks’ movie, The Da Vinci Code some years back. Only this was entertainment, it was heresy. This new brand of teaching sweeping the day denied Jesus really was a human.

    Welcome and thank you for worshipping with us this morning. Keep Colossians 2 open before you, will you? Despite perceptions, people do love change. Many of you have been home with nothing to do for weeks now. If someone had come to you in early January and said, “I’ll give you a three month ...read more

    trials and difficulties can be opportunities for growth in our faith. As we endure them, we become more like Christ and grow closer to God. So, let us consider it all joy and trust in God's strength as we face the trials in our lives. May the Lord bless you and keep you

    I want to look at James 1 verses 2-4 which says: "Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in ...read more

    Bearing fruit is not an option it is imperative. Not just to bear fruit but to bear more fruit, much fruit and fruit that remains.

    Bearing fruit John 15:1 – 16. Jesus uses fruit is an analogy several times. Israel was very agriculturist culture so the picture was easily understood. In Matthew 7 Jesus says “We are known by the fruit we produce”. Good fruit comes from good trees. Bad fruit comes from bad ...read more

    Labor Day in the United States has traditionally been a day to cease from one’s labors and rest. God offers a lifetime of rest to all who will cease from their fleshly labors and enter His rest. Easier said than done! So, how is this possible?

    Dr. Lewis Gregory “For he that is entered into His rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from His” (Hebrews 4:10 AKJV). Introduction (personal testimony): Labor Day in the United States has traditionally been a day to cease from one’s labors and rest. God offers a lifetime of ...read more

    In John 3 Jesus is speaking to Nicodemus, a religious man, about religion yet Jesus doesn't offend Israel's teacher with His superior knowledge. How can we imitate Jesus in this. How can I avoid offending and taking offense?
