    Massaging the Mosque

    John 14, “6Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” Our culture tends to lean towards cherishing an ideal or tolerating an ideal that runs counter to its foundation. Instead of loving Christ, our culture massages the ...read more

For nearly half a century, beginning in the 1950’s, the world has asked the question, “Where have all the leaders gone?” During that time, society had ...read more

     | 27,232 views

    This sermon is a lesson on the price of leadership from the perspective of a lesser-known Bible character named Joanna.

    As you know, our leadership teaching is Bible based. I take examples from the Bible and use those as teaching points. Today’s lesson is called, “The Price of Leadership”. It’s from the example of a woman in Scripture that I’ve never heard anyone talk about before. She’s mentioned twice. Her name is ...read more

     | 4,755 views

    Paul prays for his partners in the Gospel, the Philippian church.

    Someone has said that in Paul’s other letters, he is an “attack dog;” but in the letter to the Philippians, he is more like a “lap dog.” There is quite a difference in his letter to the Philippians and many of his other letters. When he wrote to the Galatians, he was combating heresy. When he wrote ...read more
