    There are 1000s of different churches with their various views on baptism. Can they all be right? Probably not, but why aren't they all "right"?

    God has blessed us with a great country. There are assets to celebrate. There are shortcomings to mourn. Jesus looked over Jerusalem and expressed the same emotions that we should display for the United States. In the end, we need to pray for our country, stand strong and defend the USA.

    We see in this sermon that the Lord’s Supper is AN EXPRESSION,AN EXPLANATION,AN EXPECTATION, AN EXAMINATION, AND AN ENCOURAGEMENT.

    Grace is a terribly misunderstood word and defining it sufficiently is notoriously difficult. E. Stanley Jones once said: “Grace is free, but when once you take it you are bound forever to the Giver.”

    GRACE! SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 2:4 – 9 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ, and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ...read more

    This sermon warns us about double agents on our jobs, in our homes, and even in the church. We must be vigilant and stay in prayer so that we can be aware of the double agents that face us in our lives.

    Introduction: As I began to look at the scripture, I couldn’t help but think about the secret agent called James Bond, 007. I remember the movie called, “Die Another Day” featuring Hallie Berry.

    In the Gospel of John Jesus is the replacement for all Jewish theology, the temple, sacrifices, etc. Acts chapter 3 the first miracle by the disciples. Peter is "moved" by the Holy Spirit, a miracle happened. I'm sure Jesus also passed this same man but chose not to heal him.
