    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

    We must continually draw close to the Lord of Light because He is the one who produces fruit in our life.

    INTRODUCTION Who’s afraid of the dark? Who’s ever been afraid of the dark? I was. Yep, that’s right. I had a nightlight too. Anybody have a nightlight?

    Christians must remember that they are called to put off their former way of life, to renew their minds, and to put on the new self, which will produce a Godlier lifestyle.

    Let us pray... Our passage today is from Ephesians 4:20-24. It says: 20You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. 21Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your ...read more

    Joshua’s posture was one of grief and prayer. God saw it as inappropriate. There is a time when it is a sin to pray. It is that time when God expects us to act.

    Who has a monopoly on God? Everyone likes to think that God is on their side. 9/11 (2001) remains etched on our minds.

    It isn’t enough simply to believe. Our faith must be lived to be an effective witness.

    A short sermon challenging us to think about what it means for us to be model Christian citizens, responding to the generosity of God.

    Titus 3: 1-7 These seven verses contain a beautiful summary of the Gospel, the Good News of the Lord Jesus.
