    John 3:16 Series

    When John wrote these words, Jews would have thought God would love only the righteous. But the Bible doesn’t say God loves good-looking people. The Bible doesn’t say God loves rich and successful people.

    Think with me about some of the most famous sayings in history. Martin Luther King Jr said famously, “I have a dream…” John Fitzgerald Kennedy said, “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” Perhaps there is no more famous sentence anywhere than John ...read more

    Do not let the title of this sermon fool you! This sermon is not about the proper attire for church attendance, but rather what kind of "spiritual clothes" the Christian should wear at all times.

    What should Christians wear to worship? This sermon is NOT about the proper attire for church attendance. God doesn’t care as much as man does about dress as long as it is modest and decent.
