This week, however, two words have come alive in my spirit; two little words that change the whole perspective of ...read more

Advent IV II Samuel 7:8-11 There are some phrases that just come across better in one language than another. Take our sermon theme for instance. “My house is your house.” It isn’t hard to catch the meaning of that phrase, but it really doesn’t quite have the ring to it as it would in Spanish, “Mi ...read more

Go Tell It On Mt. Sinai Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 6, 2003

based on 35 ratings

| 9,523 views

Being a Christian is not a negative thing, nothing but thou shalt nots; it is first of all a relationship with God, but marred by fear. So God gives us boundaries to receive as a gift, not a burden. That’s good news worth telling.

For too many being a Christian is defined by what they are not allowed to do. “I don’t drink and I don’t chew and I don’t go with girls who do.” For too much of the world, being a Christian is a joyless, ...read more
