    If you really start to believe in who Jesus really said He was, then you’ve got to entertain the notion that he could radically change YOU too! That is scary!

    Then they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. As he stepped out on land, a man of the city who had demons met him. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he did not live in a house but in the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he fell down before him and shouted at ...read more

    This sermon examines the process of impacting a city for Jesus Christ.

    Last week I began a three part series entitled "Impacting Our City For Christ." Jesus said we are to be like "salt" or "light". These metaphors represent something that influences or impacts. For a text we used John 4:7-12. “A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a ...read more
