    A world changer is known not for what he gives up, but for what he takes up. Will you take up the challenge to be a world changer OR who just changes his clothes every day to look good?

    Opening illustration: John, do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water, or do you want a chance to change the world?” That was the challenge Steve Jobs issued in 1983 to John Sculley, then president of Pepsi-Cola. Mr. Jobs was the creative genius behind Apple Computer. ...read more

    Two-thirds of Americans believe there is no hell. Let's imagine for a moment there is no hell. Lest you take me literally, I DO believe in the existence of heaven and hell. But what would you do if you wanted to eliminate the distasteful idea of hell?

    INTRODUCTION There are many theories about the afterlife. Some people believe in reincarnation. Three men died and stood before God, who asked them how they wanted to spend their next life on earth. The first man said, “I want to come back as myself, but I want to be 10 times smarter.” “Poof,” God ...read more

    Peter has witnessed ALL the miracles which Jesus performed. He even PROMISED to DIE for Christ and NEVER to leave Him. Yet, when Jesus needed him MOST, he denied his Lord. Nevertheless, he was forgiven and became a CHANGED man, ready to die for Christ.

    Matthew 26:74 Peter began to curse and swear: "I don't KNOW that man!" John 21:17 "...Lord, you know EVERYTHING. You KNOW that I love you." We as Christians in THIS day and age, have NEVER seen Jesus Christ before,OR witnessed the miracles He performed.We have NEVER accompanied Him on the dust ...read more

    JESUS' OPINION: Jesus says the path to life is not in “finding yourself” but in “denying yourself.” - Matthew 16:24; Mark 8:34. - I’m thinking of the stereotypical statement that is so common that it’s almost a cliché: “I’ve got to go find ...read more

    What steps led Peter to deny Christ? Can these steps be repeated in the lives of believers? How can we avoid repeating Peter's denial of Christ in our own lives?

    We know from the Gospels that Peter was a transparent man. He would ask Jesus the obvious questions, showed his feelings, and even boasted that he would stay with Christ to the end. However, that boasting did not last very long at all: ...she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with ...read more

    If Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead, then the past two thousand years have been the greatest tragedy and travesty of human civilization ever recorded.

    There is enough credible eyewitness testimony and extra biblical evidence to verify the historical significance and fact that the event of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ as written in the Scriptures and secular history is true.

    Peter was a prominent Apostle who had a very close relationship with Jesus. He promised to be faithful to Jesus, even willing to die with Him. But then, Peter denied Jesus three times. How could he do that?

    Let’s read Mark 14:66-72. I don't know how you feel when you just read the story of Peter's denial of Jesus. While preparing for this sermon, I felt sad, surprised, and disappointed in Peter. Why is that? Two weeks ago, we discussed how the relationship between a rabbi and his students was ...read more
