    Jesus wants you to know HE is calling you, and to know where HE is leading you.

    WHERE HE LEADS I want to talk to you (today) about following the Lord. To me, this is what being a Christian means. Following Jesus means we are a disciple of His. Jesus explained this when He came to Peter and Andrew, in Matthew 4:19, and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of ...read more

     | 5,608 views

    Satan has some people so blinded that they ignore all the evidences God has given of their need to repent of their sins and trust Christ as their Savior. These people are for all practical purposes, "Spiritual Fools."

    The Folly Of Spiritual Fools Text: Prov.1: 7, 22 Intro: A “fool” may be defined as, “a person lacking in judgment or prudence.” This definition refers to one who is not necessarily unaware of the proper course of action, but lacks the wisdom and forethought to act upon what they already know ...read more

    Too often, we run from challenges. Yet the people we love to read about in the Bible are impressive because they battled challenges. If God sends you on stony paths, He will provide you with strong shoes.

    Opening illustration: A TV program on the History Channel featured the world’s most extreme airports. The one that caught my attention is no longer open, but it is one I had flown into. I agree that Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport was definitely a thrill ride for passengers and surely a challenge for ...read more

    A major problem in our world today is religion. In fact, lots of people are turned off to God because of religion. Many people will not consider the claims of Christ because of religion. Religion is a problem.

    Religion Is Not Enough Romans 2:17-29 17 But if you bear the name “Jew” and rely upon the Law and boast in God, 18 and know His will and approve the things that are essential, being instructed out of the Law, 19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a ...read more

    Forgiveness is powerful. Unforgiveness can also be powerful: when we refuse to forgive those who have wronged us, we ironically and powerfully hurt ourselves.

    Jesus often told people, "Your sins are forgiven." What a stunning statement. Forgiveness is powerful. Unforgiveness can also be powerful: when we refuse to forgive those who have wronged us, we ironically and powerfully hurt ourselves. Lewis Smedes once said, "Forgiving is the only way to be ...read more

    What can we learn from ants, locust, rock badgers and lizards when it comes to the church?
