    We go through life laughing because it helps us through the hard times.

    Someone has said, “Laughter is like changing a baby’s diaper--it doesn’t permanently solve any problems, but it makes things more acceptable for a while.” We find ourselves today laughing at many things in life, such as: - WE LAUGH AT JOKES. We all love a good joke and some people just live ...read more

    As Jacob flees for his life after deceiving his brother, God meets him at Bethel. He is not lost and alone, for God has not lost him! God shows him a stairway to heaven, which prefigures Jesus (John 1:47-51). God invites us to walk with him into a new lif

    Preparing For Easter: They Came To See Jesus

    Some Greeks came to Jerusalem to observe Passover. These men met Philip and asked him to introduce them to Jesus. The Lord's reply has a lesson for us even today.

    Let's talk about politics. There are three reasons most pastors and churches don't talk about politics - Money, Job Security, Community influence.

    There are several iconic contemporary proverbs that swirl around us. One of the most familiar may be, “don't talk about religion, politics or sex at the dinner table” or slightly modified for pastors, “don't talk about religion, politics or sex on Sunday morning if you want to keep your ...read more

    Self examination allows us to determine the genuineness of our faith.

    In the Second Epistle of John, he exhorts the Church to vigilance in the Last Days. It is important for us to be alert; not just to things that are outside us (false prophets, etc.) but more importantly to things that are inside us.

    Christ called Christians the salt of the earth, even though Christians shall be treated with contempt they still become blessings to the world.

    Matthew 5:13 "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.” Salt = sodium chlorine. Purpose to enrich, to preserve. Salt plays an important part in the Old ...read more
