    When Abraham willingly offered his son Isaac on the altar, he had no clue that this was a fore-shadow of the supreme sacrifice that God would make many years later. This sermon explains what that supreme sacrifice was, and how this could alter our lives for eternity.

    The Tabernacle occupies a prominent place in the Bible. It is essential to learn the meaning of its structure to understand the books of Hebrews and Revelation to help teach spiritual truth and explain the ways of God.

    The Tabernacle is 'mishkan' in Hebrew and means 'dwelling-place' where God chose His Shekinah Glory to dwell. The word 'Shekinah' comes from the Hebrew word 'shakan,' which means to reside or permanently stay. The Tabernacle was a portable tent/sanctuary in the ...read more

     | 3,226 views

    Worry causes us to feel as though we’re gasping for breath and walking around half-dead. Worry zaps our life and drains our strength. In order to have true life in the Lord, we must place all our cares in the hands of Jesus Christ.

    Our primary passage today will be from Matthew chapter 6; but from time to time, I will reference Luke 12:22-32, which is a gospel parallel, or what we might call Luke’s recollection of events.
