     | 2,644 views

    Belivers have an entirely different world-view than unbelievers; we need to recoginze that and not be ashamed about honoring God.

    For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world ...read more

    This sermon utilizes five questions from a short video clip from sermonspice.com called "Potter’s Hand". The answers to those questions are found in the passage.

    Within the seemingly mundane conversation in this passage, I believe we can find the answers to some of life’s most profound questions. 1. Who am I? IF I am… A man made in the image of God – Gen 1:26 A sinner in which that image is flawed – Rom 3:23 THEN… I am not worthy of worship, only God is. ...read more

    This sermon looks at how prayer and meditation can help us connect with the Kingdom of God and change our lives.

    One of the most pervasive feelings in modern society is alienation. We are alienated from our work and from each other by our fast paced lifestyle and focus on success.

    Paul explained to Timothy the proper role of Christian women as essential to the function of the church. The Christian community must embrace the proper role of godly women. But how is it discovered? Responsibility for Christian women is found in her..

    THE ROLE Of CHRISTIAN WOMEN—1Timothy 2:9-15 This sermon was very well received. One woman commented that I was ‘ballsy’ for preaching this.

     | 5,895 views

    Joseph thought he knew what he wanted: freedom from embarassment, a normal life, a few friends to support him. But in listening to the Spirit he found that what he really wanted was to love and to be loved, to be significant, and to be understood by God.

    What do you want for Christmas? I hope there’s somebody in your life who is asking that question. I am not one of those curmudgeons who thinks we should do away with giving gifts at Christmas. Yes, it gets out of hand. And yes, it’s all very commercial. But still, gift-giving is a part ...read more
