    This sermon is a lesson on the price of leadership from the perspective of a lesser-known Bible character named Joanna.

It’s from the example of a woman in Scripture that I’ve never heard anyone talk about before. She’s mentioned twice. Her name is ...read more

    Servant leadership is when a leader humbles him or herself to be on the same level as those who are served. In the eyes of the Lord we are all equal, and for one to rise above another and say that they are better or more righteous is ungodly. What we ar

    If you really start to believe in who Jesus really said He was, then you’ve got to entertain the notion that he could radically change YOU too! That is scary!

    Then they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. As he stepped out on land, a man of the city who had demons met him. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he did not live in a house but in the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he fell down before him and shouted at ...read more
