     | 6,272 views

    While traveling to Jerusalem, a Samaritan village refuses to welcome Jesus and his disciples. Instead of judgment, Jesus demonstrates to his followers overwhelming compassion and reminds us of how he moves in our lives.

    Luke 9:51-62 “Love Costs” INTRODUCTION The stories that we have of Jesus give us snapshots of Jesus, his life and his ministry. Snapshots are powerful communicators. They can, however, limit the information they convey, or massage it. We only see the story that is contained within the frame ...read more

     | 3,924 views

    Piety should not be on public display; this doesn't mean that Christianity should be practiced in private.

    An old joke says, people would be equally shocked if they saw Christianity doubted or saw it practiced. Of course nowadays lots more people openly doubt Christianity than they used to, but I don’t think many more people openly practice Christianity than they used to. At least not in this ...read more

    In his final letter, Paul gives his "son in the faith" Timothy a series of charges to ensure that his ministry in Ephesus will be firmly grounded on Jesus Christ and to never bow to the pressures brought on by the world.

    My calling to the Lord's service occurred at the same time I gave my life to Him in December of 1975 while I was in high school. Like a lot of new believers, I was ready to share my newfound faith with anybody who would stop to pay attention. I wish I could tell you that my journey with the ...read more

     | 3,398 views

    The man of God is to not follow trends, fads, feelings, what people would like to hear, or preach messages that make them feel "good", but instead preach the Gospel without compromise or apology and to stay committed no matter what happens.

    The previous message based on 2 Timothy began with the definition of diligence. It means being constant in your efforts, finish what you started, stay committed to the task and not quit or become distracted. Preparation and thought are a part of this process.

    Christians are taught to love one another. However, what is it that causes us to love one another? How shall we love? John gives us a glimpse of the love we are to have in this brief letter to a man named Gaius.

    “The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth. “Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.
