    I am holy. You have got to be kidding.

    In Jesus Name. I am Holy? You have got to be kidding. Isaiah 53:5, 11 God calls us TO BE HOLY. God, Our Creator, wants ultimate blessedness and joy for us. He created us to share and manifest his glory. Sin is what de-humanizes us, causes us to be less whole, less human, and less joyful. ...read more

    It seems in the birth of Christ that God took humility to a whole other level. From the outset, God seems to be saying humility is more than an attitude; it is a way of life. One of the first identities we find in the birth of Christ is ultimate humility

    Humble Servant Luke 2:1-7 We’re starting a series today called “Born Identity,” where we will consider the identity of the Christ child as he entered the world. Today’s message on humility may be the most difficult message. I’ve had to do a lot of research for this sermon and two of the books I’ve ...read more

    This is a sermon that focuses on that big question "Why?" Why do bad things happen to good people?

    “WHY?” A young man, barely in his 20’s… lies dying of cancer with only a few months to live. He is a good man, never did anything bad in his life. He goes to church, and is even a member of the Deacons and … well… he WAS very dedicated about visiting the sick and shut-ins. Everybody loves him, ...read more

    What do you do when God says, “NO”? When you pray all the right prayers with all the right motives, as best you can tell?
