    Lent is coming! Lent is coming! Why do we have Lent? Why do some observe this ritual while others do not? How do we discern which rituals are beneficial and which are harmful to our walk with the Lord? To Lent or not to Lent, that is the question!

    Please stand with me as we read our recent memory Scripture together! John 1:1-4 NIV “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. “Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has ...read more

     | 6,144 views

    The parable of the Good Samaritan is one of Jesus' most familiar stories, and the way we usually hear that parable is as Jesus' way of getting us to ask ourselves, "Am I willing, when the circumstances arise, to be a Good Samaritan to other people?"

    A man approached the gates of heaven and asked to be allowed to enter. Saint Peter asked, "Tell me one good thing you did in your life." The man said, "Well, I saw a group of punks harassing an elderly lady, so I ran up and kicked their leader in the shins." Peter asked, "When did this happen?" The ...read more

     | 15,375 views

    When God sows, He doesn’t sow with seeds that can spoil or decay. There’s a kind of seed God has sown into our lives that irrespective of your financial status, you can always sow this seed.

    Introduction One of the very first biblical principles God introduced in His Word is the principle of sowing and reaping (Genesis 8:22). For you to sow and invariably reap, you must have a seed. You can’t plant if you don’t have a seed. Often times when we talk about sowing and ...read more

     | 16,407 views

    According to Scripture (John 20:25) and Roman practices of the time, Christ was held to the Cross by three nails but I want to call this belief into question. Nor were the Jews, Romans, or Judas responsible for His death.

    THREE NAILS Lk. 23:32-34; Mt. 27:45-54 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. If you ever ask a preacher about his last sermon, he will give you the whole thing again! They usually think they did a good job.
