    Jesus’ metaphors of salt and light reveal how His followers are to be positive influences in the world.

    You’ve probably all heard the old adage “No man is an island.” Since that was the thought that first came to mind as I read the passage that we’ll look at this morning, this week I did some research to find out where that saying originated. It comes from Meditation XVII ...read more

    Paul speaks about a letter not written on stationary, parchment, onionskin, or even newsprint; written on the most costly writing paper in the world – the hearts and lives of believers.

    Impacting Your World For Jesus Series

     | 12,159 views

    Jesus asks us to be both salt AND light to impact the world around us for him. We need to be both, not one or the other. It’s a challenge!

    Making Jesus better known to others will complicate your life, but the rewards are out of this world! Getting married, or having children complicates things; but they’re worth it. Spending time with people who don’t know Jesus will complicate your life, but it’s so worth it. Ask a mother a few ...read more

    Do You Have Americanitis? (“Be Still And Know That I Am God”)

     | 3,229 views

    These eight words in the scriptures that I just read to you are some of the most important words in the scriptures for us Christians.

    Why? Because this verse of scripture tells us to BE STILL and then it tells us why we should be still…to KNOW GOD. Some people live their entire life KNOWING THERE IS A GOD BUT NOT KNOWING GOD. I want to ask you a question, DO YOU KNOW GOD? You might say preacher that is the most RIDICULOUS ...read more

    1) An accurate belief in the nature of God (1 John 1:5), and 2) A genuine belief in the certainty of sin (1 John 1:6, 8, 10)

    Ever since the fall, humanity has tried to deny the reality of sin, even though every human being is innately aware of its presence. (cf. Rom. 2:14-16). People today minimize and redefine sin, often alleging that the “failures” of their lives and certain “disorders” exist ...read more
