    This sermon focuses on the broken relationship of Jacob and Esau. We will learn that broken relationships must be healed through confession and forgiveness in a way that honors both TRUTH in judgement and GRACE in forgiveness.

    We’ve been told that Time heals all wounds. Our unwillingness to confront sin, or talk about broken relationships confirms that at least some of the time, we follow this advice. But as we know, time does not heal all wounds. Come with me to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. Roman ...read more

    Perserverance is not as common as it once was. Society has made it too easy to quit, change course, or just make up an excuse for not following through. God is still looking for loyalists.

    Portraits of Loyalty Mt 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Loyalty is a virtue. It is a commitment. It is durability. Not looking for a place or a reason to quit or retreat. It is less and less atractive today. Everyone is willing to give a pass and accept ...read more
