    This message points to the awesome power seen at Pentecost and the power available to us today. In this message I also draw an analogy between the story of the Tower of Babel and Pentecost. There are many notable differences.

This was early of course in history, population much smaller but the people had learned a brand new technology: how to make bricks. Now their ...read more

     | 13,417 views

    If we please God then we must do that which pleases Him. We just cannot hold onto anything of our choosing and say, “this is to please God” OR “such & such thing pleases God.” We’ll check out Enoch’s testimony to see how he pleased God.

    Opening illustration: While I was doing the Rapture series a number of years ago, one evening on not finding me in the house, my wife thought I was raptured. She had a panic attack … Let read Hebrews 11: 5 – 6 and see what was the second testimony of Enoch that raptured him. Introduction: Implied ...read more

    You are the light of the world. As you live out this goodness visibly in front of the people of the world, your life will point them to Jesus where they too can find life that is real life.
