    In this sermon you will see one man’s journey that resulted in finding a "real faith" experience.

    Should there be anything said about politics from the pulpit? I submit that there is a point where church and state come together...

    I am not a politician and have not been called to be a politician. I’m glad that some people do feel a calling to take on those responsibilities, but I’m also glad that it’s not me. I am, however, a preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ and have a strong calling on my life to preach that gospel. ...read more
