    The Greek word for “roadside, road and ‘way’” are the same word. Bartimaeus ask for and received his sight. Upon seeing clearly, he got up and followed [Jesus] along the road… along the “way.”

    JUDGE AND JURY Matthew 7:1-14 Introduction: “Judge not that you be not judged.” is a passage that has been misinterpreted, misquoted and misapplied more than almost any other verse in the entire Bible. It is often quoted by those who are seeking to justify their actions and answer any criticism of ...read more

    Qualifying Sin

We leave people with an unclear perspective on sin in their lives. As a result, people consider sinning to be ...read more
