Mark 2:18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. Some people came and asked Jesus, “How is it that John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours are not?” 19 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? They cannot, so ...read more

Today’s Gospel tells us that we are responsible for how we live, and we are warned not to be a stumbling block. Some don’t want to be bothered by any responsibility for anyone else. To become great is to become the servant of all.

It is the heart cry of the need and desire for more power in the believer’s life. Without God’s power the church will have little if any impact on others. Why is it that some people don’t experience more power in their lives?
More Power Mark 9:14-29 Introduction: Many get caught up in the desire for more money, more power, more influence, more prestige. Many who follow this pursuit profess to be dedicated Christians. What they fail to realize is that what they need and should desire most is more of the power of God in ...read more

Maybe you were one of the millions who were glued a few months back to their television sets to watch the final episode of the Fox reality show, “Joe Millionaire”? The premise of the show was that they would take an ordinary guy making a working man’s salary, clean him up, put him up in a castle ...read more

Not only do I believe in them but like you have had personal encounters with them. Of course, I may not see them visibly, however, they are there hard at ...read more
