    People with humility don’t deny their power; they just recognize that it passes through them, not from them.

We’ve talked about the issue that sometimes we tend make becoming a disciple too hard, and too often when we here the word disciple, we tend to cringe and hide. It’s not that we don’t want to serve God, we ...read more

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 29, 2015
     | 3,261 views

    We must decide whether we will have the courage to stand by what the Bible says or to abandon it completely and live like the world. To compromise the Word is not an option. It either IS or IS NOT GOD"S WORD!

    WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY I. THE CLEAR BIBLICAL PATTERN FOR SEXUALITY Homosexuality is being here addressed because it is the subject of a lot of false teaching and mistruth about what the Bible has to say.

    God's timeless revelation -- His Word -- does not change. We live in a day of situational ethics and relative truth. The world is hearing a false message about what God thinks about homosexuality. We must tell them "the whole counsel of God."

    Our day is filled with voices that clamor to be heard. This sermon deals with becoming discriminate listeners.

    If ever there was “a word from the Lord” that relates to the subject at hand, it would be that found in John 10:27. Jesus is speaking, or rather, teaching, and He says, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” Beepers and pagers are everywhere! From physicians to ...read more
