    This is my fourth sermon in the series and looks at how we are to be productive as we act as God's kingdom here.

    It seems strange to mix the sacred with the everyday, to describe the eternal with the ordinary, the infinite with the finite. And yet that is exactly what Jesus did when looking for a way to illustrate the Kingdom of Heaven, a treasure in a field, a merchant looking for a pearl the tiniest of ...read more

    The first church as described in Acts 2:42 and following is held up as an example for the church today to emulate.

    The First Church Acts 2:42-47 It is the expressed goal of those of us in the restoration movement to restore the church as it was in the first century. In terms of doctrine I feel we have, for the most part, reached that goal. But have we restored the spirit of the first century church? ...read more

    As hard as it might seem, when God banished Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden, it was an act of love.

    Today is our Thanksgiving Sunday. A Sunday specially set aside to thank God for what he has done in our lives. I picked that song because we so easily forget the goodness of God and focus on the tragedies, challenges and difficulties of life. And when we do, the devil tries to make us feel that ...read more

    First in a series on the early church from Acts 1-4. This message deals with how to wait on God.
