    This sermon explores where to turn during our darkest moments, using a personal anecdote from the pastor's childhood as a metaphor for finding oneself in unexpected and challenging situations.

    One of my most vivid childhood memories is of an afternoon in sixth grade, when a friend and I decided to swing on a newly-installed bar hanging over the walkway on our way out of school. The bar was about 8 feet off the ground, just low enough for the two of us to reach if we jumped. So on the ...read more

    Did God Turn His Back Upon Jesus? Matthew 27:45-46 In my seminary theological classes, we were taught that God had to turn his back on Jesus when the sin of the world was laid upon Him.

     | 7,037 views

    If Jesus is All in All, why would be look for anything else?

    There is real danger to the Christian that drifts away from the teachings (doctrines) of the Bible. Paul continues to instruct the followers of Christ to adhere to the doctrines they have been taught. 1 Timothy 4:16 (NKJV) Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing ...read more

    Many will reject the sound doctrines of the bible to have their "Itching ears" satisfied. They will seek out teachers and preachers to make them feel good about themselves and to have their sins justified.

    Yesterday on Facebook, a quote from A.W. Tozer popped up (I follow the “A.W. Tozer - Daily Inspirations from Great Christians” FB page). It so much applied to today’s message: "A whole new generation of Christians has come up believing that it is possible to “accept” Christ without forsaking ...read more
