    When God is in the house, things are different. Inspired by a message at the 2011 Evangelism Conference by my friend, Dr. Kevin Hamm.

    A Word to the Church God in the House Luke 7:36-50 * (READ TEXT) A few weeks ago, I heard a preacher say these words (with which I concur); “As believers, we are told to tell other people about what Christ has done for us, in us, and through us.

    So often when one seeks to discuss a person’s faith they hear in response “I believe that is a personal matter between me and God.” While it is true that salvation is a personal matter, it is not nor was ever meant to be private.

    Personal… But Not Private Ephesians 2:8-10 So often when one seeks to discuss a person’s faith they hear in response “I believe that is a personal matter between me and God.” Our society has gotten to the place where it generally regards religion as a completely private matter.

    Are You Choking?

    Too often, Christians can become so busy in their lives that they choke the word of God out of it. Too many of us are the thorny soil at times. This sermon helps us remember what our priorities should be.

    Often as Christians, we need to take a step back from our busy lives to examine where we are as Christians. We need to ask ourselves many questions: Have I been growing? Is that growth visible to others? Am I more holy this month or year than I was last year? These are all important questions we ...read more

    The death of Jesus Christ is at the same time the deepest darkest day in human history and the beginning of the most promising era in human history. Though the physical agony great, the spiritual agony was even greater for our Lord.

    Mark chapter 15 contains three main elements—the time before Pilate, the crucifixion, and the burial. All of Jesus’ life and His entire three-year public ministry focused toward this point. It is mankind’s darkest hour but is the beginning of a turning point in the history of the ...read more

    Christmas reveals to us that God knows us and our problem, He loves us because we are precious to Him, and He saves us because heaven is where we ought to belong.

    1 John 4:9-10 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Christmas was God’s idea. It has never been ...read more
