    A couple was married at the Court by a Judge. The couple had a reception later that day and asked for a religous short sermon.

    The Thessalonian church was a shining example of believers in ministry and gospel outreach. They had all the fruits of the Holy Spirit as we see in the verses of Chapter 1. They radiated faith, hope, love, and steadfastness. They waited patiently for the Rapture.

    God directed Paul to Philippi to preach the gospel. Acts 16 reveals both the open hearted reception and the opposition he faced. We should expect the same when we share Christ today.

    When God opens hearts he comes into them to dwell. Acts 16 gives us the history of how the gospel was planted in Philippi, how God opened their hearts to hear and obey the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This lesson continues our introduction to the letter of Philippians. Let's read ...read more

The Lord has spoken about denying ourselves, bearing our cross, and following Him. He spoke of ...read more

    In our society you can’t even utter the word "Christmas" in many circles. Why not just do away with it?

    Have you noticed that a lot of stores are now open on Christmas Day? At one large grocery store chain, they told their employees that the reason they now open on Christmas is that only about 30% of Americans are Christians so why not?
