    "What time is it for God’s people at this point in history?" That is the question the church must answer.

    WHAT TIME IS IT? Romans 13:11-14 INTRO: Many inventions have been contrived to provide the answer to this question. The sundial provided an answer only during the day. The hourglass could measure the hour—day or night—but not the minute. Finally, the clock provided the best answer, day or ...read more

    A good life involves having 1) the right attitude, 2) have the right response, 3) have the right standard, and 4) have the right incentive.

    VBS this week: joy of children celebrating realities of God, it becomes obvious how we often learn ways of casting off Joy and losing focus. This morning, given our locale of worship, I want to change our usual format to focus on the nature of a good life in 1 Pt 3:8-12 in having 1) the right ...read more

    Have you ever wondered why God would chose shepherds? Why not Rabbis, priests, King Herod, or the High Priest himself?

    Why Shepherds? Scripture Reading: Luke 2:8­20 Last week we heard about the birth of John the Baptist and that he was the forerunner to Jesus. He was called from the womb to prepare the way for our Lord. This morning we are going to look at shepherds. Shepherds were not really important in the ...read more

    Jesus built a Church, and the Scriptures give us many inspiring images of the Church, especially for evangelization.

    Monday of 28th Week in Course 2012 St. Theresa of Jesus Vatican II It is especially fitting that our readings today focus on the nature of man’s response to God’s initiative, because that response culminates in the assembly we call the Church. Lumen Gentium is the Church’s ...read more

    I gleaned this from a book by RC Sproul by the same title "12 Promises Christians struggle with". The question is Do we believe God or Not?

    He Overcame John 16:33ff One of the main reasons we have a problems accepting the promises of God is SIN. Sin comes so naturally to us that our default position is not to believe God. Adam and Eve failed to believe God, when the Father of lies told them “You will surely not die, you ...read more
