But the Sermon title is about GREATNESS. It seems obvious that somebody made a really HUGE mistake don’t you think? Well, ...read more

    Romans 6:1-11 There are a number of responses to God’s Word that I simply do not understand. Some people for example, feel they can live their lives as recipients of God’s Grace without ever spending quality time in God’s Word. There are others who seek out what I like to call cheap Grace. Cheap ...read more

    based on 4 ratings

    Many of us are given to obsessive behavior. Healing comes when we name it for what it is and accept a healthy substitute. A relationship with Christ will erase destructive obsessive behavior.

You have to blend both drive and push, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the ability to back off and look at your drivenness. Most of the ...read more
