More often than not our basis on whether or not a person is a ‘good friend’ is the contemplation of inevitable ensuing requirements that may be placed ...read more

Humility has to do with knowing and doing God’s will. It is responding God’s call, obeying God’s Word, and giving attention to God’s promptings. So in ...read more

    To those who trust him God promises his presence. Just as Aslan showed mercy towards Edmund, so God is a God of mercy and compassion.

    Why do I believe that the bible events surrounding Moses are important? Why do I believe that Moses is important for us today?

    Easter from the viewpoint of Caiaphas, demonstrating that it would be better for obstinant rebels if Christ had not been raised from the dead. The fact of Easter requires us to repent and turn to Christ

    Matthew 28:11-15 This is all most inconvenient, not to mention dangerous! I don’t know what the Romans will make of all this. They only put me in power as High Priest to keep the country in order and to stop things like this happening. If that Jesus had kept to carpentry none of this would have ...read more

    This sermon is the second installment on why we are obligated to give God all of the praise that we can. True praise comes from the inside out, not the outside in.
