    This is a follow-up sermon from watching the film, Case For Christ the week before. This sermon does not go into all the evidences but rather looks at a couple of verses regarding sharing our faith with some statements and insights from the film.

    THE CASE FOR CHRIST Last week we watched the film, Case For Christ, based on the book of the same name by Lee Strobel. Lee was a Journalist for the Chicago Tribune. He was also an atheist.

    There is no sin that is too big for God’s forgiveness.

    The story of the Geresene Demoniac. This story gives me chills. There is so much meaning beyond the words written on the page. There are so many questions to be asked. Jesus enters a town that is obviously not filled with Jews. The first question to be asked is, Are they Gentiles or Heathens. We ...read more

    God's love is so powerful that it can break through the barriers that hold us back from growing closer to Him.

    1) Reading the Song of Solomon a) We don’t normally talk about Song of Solomon at church. i) It’s sort of the black sheep of the Bible. It can be embarrassing to read, you know. ii) You see, this seems to be a beautiful love poem written from a man to a woman (1) From Solomon to his wife iii) It’s ...read more

    “To remain in Christ is become fruitful.”

    I wonder why it’s such a compliment to tell a woman she looks like a breath of spring, but not to tell her she looks like the end of hard winter. Isn’t it the same thing? I wonder why, when the preacher says, "In closing..." he doesn’t. I wonder why it pleases her to say time stands still when you ...read more

    Hello, brothers and sisters, it's such a joy to see all of you here today. We're going to dig deep into a passage that, on the surface, might seem a bit paradoxical—Matthew 11:25-30. It's all about yokes. Now, I don't know about you, but I don't wear a yoke every day. In fact, I doubt any of us ...read more
