    This is a Biblical perspective on homosexuality.

    In today’s society, homosexuality has become "the forgotten sin." While Scripture is clear on the subject, the Church has quickly, and meekly followed the world and softened its’ stance. Let us examine God’s revealed truth about homosexuality in both the Old and New Testaments. Homosexuals are not ...read more

     | 3,088 views

    This sermon was preached at a service in honor of Todd Cherry, a young member of our church who was being sent to Iraq. It looks at what being a hero and a patriot means.

    We throw around the term hero far to often these days. If a man can outrun a defender to score a touchdown, or if a person can slam dunk the ball we call them a hero. If a person can get on the big screen and pretend to do something great, we call them a hero. We have so belittled the term that ...read more
