    Pentecost 5(B) - It is the Lord’s purpose that always prevails. As mankind is often challenged to understand, then our God diplays his mighty power.

    Jesus asks Peter this question three times. It is the only time in scripture where Jesus asks anyone, "Do you love me?" It is an important question that determines our ultimate destiny.

    Do You Love Me? What are some things that you love? How does your love of these compare with your love for Jesus Christ? There’s a song in our songbook that goes: “The things that I love and hold dear to my heart are just borrowed they’re not mine at all. Jesus only let me use them to brighten ...read more

    The scriptures do not say, “…become the salt and the light.” Jesus says, “You are the salt…You are the light.” So, what type of salt and light are you, I ask?

    What Type of Salt and Light Are You?: Matt. 5:13-16 Introduction: God refers to believers as the “salt” and “light.” Too many Christians fail to appropriate the benefits, privileges, and responsibilities of being salt and light. As a result, millions suffer because they continue to conform to the ...read more

    You cannot compare the colossal, massive, immeasurable love of God with anyone! None gave their blood and life for you! None.

    Looking up at Daddy! Psalm 34:5”Those who look to Him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed.” My heart skipped a beat and melted! The way the school kids look at me with so many myriads of emotions in those faces: How is madam’s mood? Is she happy today? Will she ...read more

    Not long ago, my wife Jane, asked me what was the difference between grace and mercy? I began rattling off some stuff, but soon realized I didn’t really know the difference either. I have researched it and found an answer.

    Let me share with you the difference between grace and mercy. I. Definitions A. Mercy is compassion shown to a law breaker or enemies. Mercy is not getting what we deserve. We deserve Hell for our sin, but God shows us mercy because of Jesus. This story will put mercy into a life situation: A ...read more
