    To avoide harsh and incorrect judging, recognize your limitations, remember your personal debt to God, and admit your own weakness.

Her surgeon came into the room and bragged that this was his 3,000th cataract surgery. “And just look how clear and pretty that eye is,” he ...read more

    I Corinthians 6 challenges us to follow the way of the cross in dealing with contentious issues within the church

    Several years ago, on a Sunday morning, I was responsible for the children’s story.

Another said he would go to ...read more

    God has opened the way to having a close, personal and intimate relationship with Him. Are we seeking after that type of relationship?

    LONG AGO, EVEN BEFORE THE FIRST RECORDED WORDS OF GENESIS 1:1 SAID, "IN THE BEGINNING," GOD LOVED US AND CHOSE US IN CHRIST JESUS TO BE HOLY AND WITHOUT FAULT IN HIS EYES. HIS UNCHANGING PLAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO ADOPT US INTO HIS OWN FAMILY BY BRINGING US TO HIMSELF THROUGH JESUS CHRIST IN ORDER TO ...read more

    There is no description of higher favor given to any man or woman in the history of the Bible than Mary! She alone is described as “highly favored.”

    Luke 1:26-35 NKJV “Highly Favored” November 26, 2023 What Is God's Favor? God’s favor, or grace, is God giving us the ability to do something which is humanly impossible for us to do. "Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, ...read more

    so many of us sit around and talk about what we cannot not do; and how we can not make it; but you need to know this morning, that Jesus has already made a way for us to make it through any situation we may face.

    When we read the Book of John, we find that it is different from the other three Gospel. The first three gospels Matthews, Mark, and Luke are called synoptic gospels. They are called synoptic gospels because they describe many of the same events in the life of Jesus. However, Johns writes about ...read more

    In His boyhood, Jesus demonstrates how to develop a balanced life.

    We consider a fictional story about a mischievous boy who refuses to grow up as cute. [Show picture of Peter Pan]. But when the same thing occurs in real life, there is something wrong.

    Out of all the things that Luke must have heard from Mary, he has chosen only this one incident, perhaps because it reveals so much to us.

    In the calling of Levi, Jesus reshapes what discipleship looks like and who qualifies to be a disciple. Would we invite the "Levi's" of our day to follow Him?

    Introduction: Is Jesus “woke”? In other words, is He someone who is sensitive to or aware of the injustices experienced by the marginalized? If Jesus were walking on earth today, gathering disciples, would He do so along DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) ethical standards? Would he try to choose ...read more
