    Our culture heavily promotes physical training. This morning, you will be encouraged to get involved in spiritual training.

    Like a splinter barely under our skin, circumstances can be painful. But how can we tell if it's just life or God?

    Have you ever got a splinter in your finger or your foot? It sticks out just enough to be irritating but not far enough to pull it out. Every time you brush against something, it sends pain through out your body. I know when this happens to me I try to ignore it. I hope against hope that some how ...read more

     | 5,801 views

    THIS IS THE SECOND OF A TWO-PART SERMON ON PAUL'S TEACHING ON SANCTIFICATION. HE USES BAPTISM TO TEACH THAT AS CHRISTIANS WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE DOMINION OF SIN BECAUSE WE UNITE WITH CHRIST, NOT JUST IDENTIFY WITH HIM, IN HIS DEATH, THROUGH BAPTISM.
