     | 919 views

    How do we live out Jesus' call to love our enemies?

    “Doing the Gospel” Luke 6:27-38 Raise your hand if you live by these instructions from Jesus all the time? Anyone? Why not? What’s gone wrong? Is Jesus way off base?

    God gets the glory as the Holy Spirit moves among the people and convicts them of their sinful ways.

    The passage of Scripture that we will use today is a record of one of, if not the most responded to messages of all time. Peter preaches and the response is overwhelming. And in it all, God gets the glory as the Holy Spirit moves among the people and convicts them of their sinful ways. God's ...read more

     | 599 views

    Jesus promises to make your heart his home, if you come. “I WILL LIVE AND WALK AMONG THEM” Are you yoked with God? Is your heart His today? Have you given up everything for trusting in the Lord? Would you pray and RESPOND to Jesus. Tell him, Come HOME.

The clothing of Jesus began to shine, and His glory was revealed. Why was that moment so significant? In Matthew 16, ...read more

    If you have recognized yourselves in other people, then Jesus will recognize himself in you.

    John 4 -- Nobleman's Son. The second sign in John's Gospel shows the Word made flesh has limitless authority and power.

    Introduction I want to begin today with a simple refrain you may have heard before: God said it. I believe it. And that settles it for me. That little line may sound like something out of a gospel chorus, but it’s actually the heartbeat of the second sign in John’s Gospel. We’re in John chapter ...read more

    Joseph came from a long line of spectacular failures. Lies. Deceit. Theft. Favoritism. Greed. Lust. Murder. You name the sin and we will probably find it somewhere in Joseph’s Family Tree.

    January 11, 2025 As we approach the end of Genesis, there is one conclusion we can come to – People struggle.
