    Knowing God’s will for your life requires humility.

[42] And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. [43] And he called unto him his disciples, and ...read more

    In this sermon we learn that faith does not overthrow the law but, rather, upholds the law.

    Scripture Let’s read Romans 3:27-31, to get the context of Paul’s comments, bearing in mind that today’s text is Romans 3:31: "27 Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded.

    based on 35 ratings
     | 20,363 views

    "Wrong doing" (sin) can block our prayers... but so can "wrong thinking". What kinds of attitudes could undermine our prayer time and create "bad reception" between us and God?

    based on 11 ratings
     | 3,235 views

    What does it mean to say that Jesus was fully human? Was he married? Did he have a family. Was He a sinner just the like the rest of us? This sermon seeks to answer these questions in light of the claims of Dan Brown’s book, The DaVinci Code

     | 12,334 views

    We must realize the truth that 1. We all begin as ugly people. 2. We have the beauty of God stamped on our souls. 3. God offers to make us new people.

    Her nose was pretty big, but I didn’t think it looked all that bad. However, Lori claimed she was so ugly that people called her names and teased her children at school about her looks. To me she was average and even pleasant in appearance, but she decided to have her nose diminished, her chin ...read more
