    Living water comes from a place deeper than… any drill can excavate, any talent can imitate, any devil can duplicate, any emotions can replicate, any mind can fabricate

    Intro: Many of us as Christians find ourselves in an emotional vacuum • We look for God to move the same way He has moved for us in the past… • If he used a sling and a stone to defeat the enemy then we need to send our boys in Iraq a sling shot and tell them to lay down those pesky guns! • If the ...read more

     | 7,014 views

    This is a sermon that honestly looks at how even as Christians, we still struggle with the things we know we should and should not do.

    One of my things as a pastor is that I try to be as transparent as I can be. I tend to share stories that show my faults as much as my strengths. It’s kind of like the pastor who was told by his church, “Preacher, we’ve always heard our pastors say they were sinners just like us, but you are the ...read more
