Illus: A test was given to 200 men applying for the same job but only 1 out of 200 came up with the right solution. Each applicant was ...read more

    This sermon concludes part one of a series on who we are in Christ based on Ephesians 1-3. It focuses on the magnitude of God’s love for us and Paul’s prayer that we be filled to overflowing with the knowledge of this love.

    “FILLED” “Empty” or “Full”? Which would describe you this morning? Perhaps that’s not fair. You may feel half-full and are quite fine with that. I thought my tank was better than half full this week until I realized it was nearly empty. My Dad instilled in me a quirky ...read more
