    The Black Of Sin Series

     | 2,041 views

    I couldn't find a scripture that equated sin or iniquity with the color black (a color of bead used in the popular "witness bracelet"). But the Bible does talk about sin as a "deep darkness" and that description has powerful implications for Christians.

    It was a dark, dark night. A man was making his way home from working late, and as he often did, he walked home through a cemetery because it was a quicker route. However, because it was so dark, he didn’t notice a new grave had been dug in his path, and he tumbled into a 7 foot deep hole in the ...read more

    As Paul and his team went out into a dark world, it was no surprise that there were times when the light came smack up against the darkness. These "power encounters" are inevitable. How do we handle them?

    Passage: Acts 16:16-41 Intro: When we hear the word power, certain pictures come to mind. 1. huge guns, bombers, nuclear warheads. 2. human beings are obsessed with power, we love to be the ones with more. 3. every Sunday in the Fall, teams walk onto the football field for a “power encounter,” to ...read more

    In a day where thousands are fleeing the church, no longer feeling it relevant. This message it meant to remind us that Jesus was against organized religion, but he is not against the church being decent and in order. In fact he created it that way.

    This mornings message is titled - “Jesus loves the organized Church” Now that might to some sound silly.
