    In the light of The Da Vinci Code’s accusation that what we read in the Bible is fiction, this message looks at four of the main accusations against the accuracy of the Bible and explains why the Bible can be trusted.

    - Why are we going to talking about The Da Vinci Code over the next few weeks? Well, there’s a couple of reasons: 1.

    What does the Bible say about a woman’s role? Is she to be a pastor or what? In this message, Pastor Steve examines a woman’s role in light of 1 Timothy 2:11-12

    1 Timothy 2:11-12 says, “A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.” When Paul gave these instructions to Timothy, he gave three principles regarding women’s ministry in the church. ...read more

    Genesis 5 is filled with death, but there is one bright light in a man who walked with God and got called home. As we look at our lives, would we be ready if God said that to us?

Consequences of the fall. Vs 1 - 2 God gave them the name "Adam" - which means mankind. They were both male and ...read more

    This sermon seeks to encourage an honest look at oneself in light of the judgment you pass on others; for when you criticize negative traits in others you are revealing the things which you dislike in yourself.

    In his introduction to this passage, Greg Herrick relates someone has once joked that the definition of a jury is: “twelve people chosen to decide who has the best lawyer.” And with the current state of law suits in America, it’s no wonder that people are skeptical about truth and justice in our ...read more
