    The world often values the big, the many, the rich, and the famous. However, this sermon explores the idea that less can be more, and that there is strength and importance in the small and few when God is involved. It challenges the belief that bigger is always better, and encourages finding value in simplicity and smallness.

    The world often promotes the idea that bigger is better and smaller is not good. The unbelievers believe that more is always better and less is not valuable. They believe that there is strength in numbers and that the few are unimportant. They prioritize the rich and famous over the poor and ...read more

    The Follower of Christ must take responsibility for his/her life, putting to death those characteristics identified with the flesh that Christ may be seen shining through the Christian's life.

Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life ...read more

    Everybody knows what love is, right? Love is what makes you sit up all night assembling the bicycle for your daughter’s birthday, or leave the board meeting early to make it to your son’s soccer game. Is that the same thing as the love that makes your mouth go dry and your heart beat fast when ...read more
