    Exploring Jesus claim that He is "the Way, the Truth, and the Light" and that "no man comes to the Father except through [him]".

    Last week we looked at the unquestionable and unavoidable claims of Christ…today I want to address a concern that often arises from the sidelines of such claims… Is one way to God really fair? It’s a big world…with many following religious traditions within their own culture…isn’t Christianity a ...read more

    All things are not equal. All roads do not lead to the same destination. Our experience bears this out. Who among us would trust our own guesses when traveling on a long road trip of many hundreds of miles rather than trusting a compass and a map? Let

    This sermon looks at the life of Rahab and impact events of history which transformed her life for good.

    Impact events in the life of Rahab.(Josh 2:8-21. Heb11v31) It true that great events in world history always stand out in the lives of people. When something out of the ordinary happens? People seem to always remeber where they were, what they were doing and so on. For instance I am sure that in ...read more

They call it the world’s oldest profession, but it’s not one mentioned in polite company. Church is probably the last place you expect the preacher to mention a harlot, but I ...read more

    When we have hostility we need to remember that we all hang on to the same cross for our salvation. Nothing else is more important than that.

    Sermon 071909 Ephesians 2:11-22 Anne and I love where we live. We live in an area of town called Clintonville with lots of old homes and families and stuff like that.

    Prince Caspian: Following, even if no one else will go (Show Prince Caspian Clip, Lucy sees Aslan, or Lucy meets Aslan) The KJV says, "be offended" instead of "fall away".
