    A sermon for closing out the old year by realizing that "the end of a thing is better than it’s beginning." (Ecc. 7:8)

    Keeping religious rules and observing religious rituals in order to be close to God are only a shadow of the "real thing," a relationship with Him through Jesus.

That kind of false teaching still exists in the 21st century. In this series I’m ...read more

    We will never be as close to Christ as we could be or think we are if we are oblivious to today’s issues or build monuments to past achievements.

    We can be close to something, and yet miss it. We can be almost on target, almost where we want to .be, and yet, if we’re not exactly where we ought to be, we miss it. So near and yet so far.
