    Experiencing Hope/Expressing Hope (Mark 11:1-24) Sometimes we have a conception that people who approach life in a lighthearted manner don’t take things seriously enough. We often believe that they don’t care about things, that they have a kind of laize faire approach toward life, that they have ...read more

     | 15,801 views

    Unfortunately the vast majority of those who profess Christianity are not in fact Christians but remain spiritually dead in their sins because they have not met Jesus’ one requirement to even see the Kingdom of Heaven, that is, they must be born again spiritually.

    Are we real Christians or just pretending to be Christians? Jer 3:10 …Judah (My own people) has not turned to Me with her whole heart, but in pretense, says the LORD. Sometimes we hear that there are living today about two billion people who are Christians. Unfortunately the vast majority ...read more

    This sermon takes us through the bulk of Judges 6 mostly as a narrative with some insight included. It then returns to vs 13 where Gideon accuses God of abandonment. Compares Gideon's doubts w/David's eagerness w/Goliath. Then asks, "How about you?"
