    Big Idea: Jesus earned the right to be called our Captain by his courage under fire. - Hebrews 2:10. - Jesus is called the “captain of our salvation” in this verse and I want this morning to pursue the military analogy that that puts forward. - “Captain” is the Greek word “archegos” which means ...read more

    Even after the battle has raged - there is still something on you and in you that God can use to his glory. This was also preached (with slight modifications) for a preacher’s anniversary celebration.

    If we were all to just tell the truth to shame the devil, we would have to admit that there are some days that for as much as we appear to have it all together, for as much we look like we have life all worked out there is still some stuff, some circumstances, some situations that come into our ...read more
