    For us as Gentile believers we don’t need to be physically circumcised, but we do need to have circumcised hearts, and the outward sign of this is Baptism. What does it mean to have a circumcised heart?

    Jesus Can Offer Peace The World Cannot Give!

    Introduction: The word “peace” only occurs five times in the Gospel of John. Two times before the resurrection of Jesus and three times after the resurrection of Jesus.

    There remains reasons to hope in the Lord's activity for the people of God. There will come a day of fellowship and peace for the people of God.

    Isaiah 2:1-5 Bound for Mt. Zion As evidenced on the day notoriously known to us as Black Friday, crowds can be dangerous.
