Jesus offered a convicting mandate - take up your cross and follow me! In that culture the cross was not westernized like it is in our culture as a fashion statement. It meant death.
Surrendered to the Savior Mark 8: 34-38 For the past few weeks we have discussed some intense conversation between Jesus and the disciples. He had questioned them regarding His deity and their acceptance of Him as the Christ. While others had a skewed perception of Christ, Peter boldly, and ...read more

As culture drifts further away from biblical truth, believers in Christ do not let cultural differences divide us but come together as one in the Family of God.

Scripture: Ephesians 2:11-22
Madison Avenue is not what God uses to build His Church. He has branded His own. He does not need us to market Him, but we may get to bear His marks as He leads us into His image.
Are you looking to brand and market your church? If you are truly a church founded by a call of God and a move of the Holy Spirit you are already branded by the blood of Jesus Christ and if the Spirit is moving in your people you need no marketing plan as He will draw people to where He is ...read more

Scripture: Romans 1:16-17
In the last 50+ years there has been a constant and constant decline of for God and His Son in the world. It was 1962 that the Supreme Court ruled that prayer was taken out of our schools.
The world in which we live in is rapidly becoming a Godless mess. I must note that it is going to take Gods direct intervention in the affairs of men, not only in our country but in the world. 1st Remember Where We Were- Eph 2:12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the ...read more
Scripture: Ephesians 2:11-18
Paul was under obligation to preach the unashamed gospel that was God’s authority for salvation. We look at human decline and wickedness that is in society today; the suppression of truth and the wrath of God.

A century after the Jews returned to their homeland; many became complacent and less devoted to the Lord. The Lord addressed the Jews' declining commitment to God through the prophet Malachi.

Scripture: Malachi 3:7-12
God is giving the Hebrews a way to build and stay in relationship with Him. This two pronged approach from God, building a relationship and weeding out things that will hurt that relationship is effective for us today as well.

Commitment to the living Christ will let Him break down circumstantial, cultural, and spiritual barriers to our success. Illustrated with the story of Marian Anderson.
I think it was John Lennon, one of the Beatles, who once observed, "Life is what happens while you are making other plans." That really is the issue, isn't it? Getting a fix on our lives. Getting hold of life. Being able to make it go the way you want it to go. And the trouble is that life just ...read more

Scripture: Romans 12:2
Today's cities are not so different from First Century cities as one might think. Jesus was enough to change Ephesus. He is enough to change your city!
I need to give you a background of the book of Ephesians, so you can see that it applies to our city. This way, you can get a feel for WHY Paul wrote what he did in the book. Ephesus was one of the premier city of the Roman Empire. It was situated on It benefitted from a great road system, ...read more

This passage tells us we are in a battle against dark, demonic forces all around us. We are living in a time when evil is being glorified as good, and ...read more
Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-17
In a culture where tolerance is the highest virtue and where sincere belief is the only thing important to faith, are Christians too exclusive in believing that Jesus is the only way to eternal life? What does that salvation look like?
Introduction I have a confession I need to make. I have owned my cell phone for a little more than a year now. In that time, I have lost my charging cord five times. Now don’t blame me. I think it’s possible that charging a phone soon causes the cord to fade into the netherworld ...read more
