    As I stand before you today, I want to break down some walls and shake up some mindsets. And talk about Jesus Came from the Hood. See, too many people think God only moves in the big places, the shiny places, the perfect places. They think blessings are reserved for the palaces, the suburbs, the ...read more

    Moses was overwhelmed by the immorality and religious practices from Egypt brought from Egypt. He had met God who gave him the Ten Commandments to implement within the new culture. He had a Shekinah Glory experience--God on earth. The Light of God radiated in his face.

    This past Sunday our pastor was recovering from the flu. When I asked him how he was doing, he said he was about 70% recovered. He then shared this with the church. As he began to preach there appeared to be a sincere heartfelt message flowing from deep within. A middle-aged man always makes a ...read more

    This encounter between Jesus and a leading Jewish religious leader named Nicodemus deals with focus questions. Who is Jesus? What is His purpose? What exactly does Jesus come to do?

    Focus Your Faith John 3:1-17 (New International Version) 1Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could ...read more

    In our voyage through life, we will encounter both smooth sailing and tempestuous seas brought on by raging storms or trials. We must realize that the Captain, Jesus Christ, is the only One who can pilot our boat safely into harbor.

    The first line of a well-known hymn says, “Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to Thy bosom fly. While the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high: Hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past. Safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last.”(1) Charles Wesley ...read more

    In this gospel narrative, not only are we going to encounter a resurrection before THE resurrection, we’re also going to encounter a Jesus who sees not only the brokenness of the world, but does something about it.

    Listen to some of these crazy Easter traditions from different places around the world. In Australia, it’s become very popular to replace chocolate bunnies with chocolate marsupials called Biblys (I guess nothing says Happy Easter like chewing on a chocolate hamster ear).

    The demoniac was possessed by a legion of unclean spirits. One encounter with Jesus set him free, seated at the feet of Jesus fully clothed and in his right mind.
