    This sermon shows what the Golden Rule really means, and how we might be better examples of it in our daily lives.

    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,281 views

    Who will rescue us from ourselves - from our lives of profound inconsistency.

    (Part of this sermon was inspired by a message I read at "30 Minutes One Sunday" - but beyond the initial comments, the remainder of the sermon went in a completely different direction than that which I read!) Many of us here today have had, or still have, many problems in our lives. We are ...read more

    based on 18 ratings
     | 7,745 views

    19th in series on Joshua. This deals with Caleb and his faith. The question is asked, though: what is faith, and what is presumption? Sometimes what we call trust is really superstition.

    Joshua 14:6-14 – Faith or Presumption? Today we are straying from the controversial topics I’ve been speaking on lately. This message comes with the intention to build up your faith, not make you question it all. Today we are looking at the OT character of Caleb. Turn with me as we read from ...read more

     | 3,506 views

    That Jesus will return is a constant theme of the New Testament and a basic Christian teaching. His return could be near. Are we ready?

    I’ve read recently about an inscription on the Dome of the Capitol building in Washington. It’s placed where few can see it. It’s a line from the poet Tennyson: One far-off divine event to which all history moves. That ’one far-off divine event’ is the one we pray for every time we say ’Thy ...read more
