    When the heart goes out of our faith, then the life goes out of our church. A vital congregation has its source in God.

He says: “I know your works; you have a name [for] being alive, but [actually] you are ...read more

    Being Jewish is a blessing, but we’ve all failed God and need a Savior. God wants us to know Him, He is completely fair, He can be trusted, and He is a holy God who requires holiness of us and is faithful to provide it.

    Even a saint like Peter "blew it" when he denied he knew Jesus. Eventually he was restored to a place of service for the Lord. What happens, or what should I do, when I blow it?

    Note: (Edited from a sermon preached in August 2022 at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO) Introduction: One reality few of us as believers want to admit is that first, we were born sinners.
