    Our Advent Sermon Series was "David's Royal Branch," focusing on the coming Christ and His connections to David. This is the second sermon of that series, looking at Jesus' lineage. He is, indeed, David's son--but even greater, He is the Son of God!

    “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” With these two questions, Jesus turns the tables on the Pharisees once again. They, along with the Sadducees and Herodians had put Jesus to the test several times in a row. They asked Him unimaginable, theoretical, philosophical, theological ...read more

    One mans view of the parable of the parable of the mina’s from Luke 19 - showing the amazing grace of God in turning him from a slave to a ruler of cities

    You’ll never guess what I saw – it seemed so unfair. He seemed such a nice chap – he had a wife and a couple of kids. He wasn’t seeking to do better than all the others. Just get by.
