    The sermons that I have listed are 30 to 40 minute sermons. I have only listed the points and a couple of comments under each point of each sermon to give the preacher a remembrance which the Holy Spirit can lead on and speak through the man of God.

    Mark 5:25-27 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.

    Every heart longs for home—and the good news of the gospel is that God’s grace is the doorway that always leads us back.

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Forty-Nine. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    GENESIS CHAPTER FORTY-NINE OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that Jacob blesses his sons before he dies.

     | 412 views

    Change Isn’t a Threat—It’s a Call Change is never easy. But in the Kingdom of God, change is often the doorway to growth. The Church has always been called to adapt—not by compromising truth, but by shedding old forms that no longer serve the mission.

     | 250 views

    We live in a world full of curated relationships—filtered, managed, and often shallow. Even in the church, it’s easy to smile, say “I’m good,” and walk away unchanged.
