    You have no need! Can you believe it?

    “Jesus 101: No Need” Matthew 3:1-17 It must have been quite the scene. First, consider the location: the Desert. It’s not where an up and coming preacher should try to build his new church! Second, there was John the Baptist who was quite a sight! “John's clothes were made ...read more

    This sermon was given at the end of 2015. It's to help people think about ending well so that they can have a strong beginning. But also so that they can hear the words of Jesus at the end say, "Well done good and faithful servant.

    Ending Well “A good start need a better ending, and a good ending gives to us a better start.” This thought came as I was contemplating todays and next week’s messages. And to today, as we’re ending 2015, I’d like to talk to you about ending well. And then next week ...read more

    Considering the hymnody of the faithful, what is the meaning of the hymn Paul cites in this particular text? How does this build the saints today?

    “The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us; if we are faithless, he remains faithful— for he cannot deny himself.” [1] I must believe that the Apostle ...read more

    Thin may be in, but fat is where it's at! ;-) We make too many judgment calls on girth when it appears God has no problem using a POG (Person Of Girth) We have a wrong definition of gluttony.

    We were discussing on FaceBook an article by Kirk Cameron, “Is It A Sin To Be Fat?” I have provided the link below for your edification. D. L. Moody and Charles Spurgeon were both 5' 9" tall and weighed 350 lbs. Both won over a million people to Christ. If it is a sin, it would appear ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 25, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,243 views

And he said to them, ‘The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. But not so with you.
