Scripture: Ephesians 2:1-10
Denomination: Nazarene
Suppose that the Lord Jesus chose this very moment to return. Would you be ready? Our objective as Christians is not merely to be included in the Rapture but to bring as many people with us as we can. My eternal hope and my ongoing prayer is that neither you nor I get “left behind.”

A rather mediocre sermon about Jacob’s facinating encounter with God at the Jabbok. The so-so title tells it all.
If you take the Bible seriously, it’s quite a frustrating book. Within its pages are outrageous commands like “be holy” (1 Peter 1:16) and “offer the parts of your body to [God] as instruments of righteousness” (Romans 6:13). Jesus laid a heavy burden on us when He said, “…be perfect, just as ...read more
Preached at the National Baptist Memorial Church -- a congregation facing selecting a pastor, dealing with an aging building, and in decline. The issue is whether we will stop depending on just being "good" and will live out of grace to bear our witness

January 7, 2001 Deuteronomy 29:1-29 “Going a new direction” INTRODUCTION It’s a new year.

Scripture: Deuteronomy 29:1-29
Jesus sends us out into the world ahead of Him to do His work, preparing unbelievers to receive Him.
