    Does the Lord have the right to call anyone into Christian minsitry in any position if it is His will to do so regardless of gender? This sermon is intended to be an overview of the Lord doing just that throughout the Bible.

    If you would, please stand as we say together our memory Scripture for this quarter: Matthew 6:31-33 “Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. “But ...read more

    This parable got people listening to Jesus - as always. There was a twist for his hearers, and for us. Will we accept Gods invitation or will we make excuses?

    This message discusses the consequences of a negative attitude by looking at a huge mistake made by the Israelites. A positive attitude, or faith, is the very thing that will carry us into receiving what God intends for our life.

And an angel said to Him, "Lord, you sure are spending a lot of time on this one." The Lord turned & said, ...read more
