    As we read the text of this sermon, we see a poor, diseased woman who with a grain of hope pushes her way through the crowd to be healed, but receives so much more once she touches the Master.

    Moments with the Master Series A TOUCHING MOMENT Mark 5:25-34 Intro Mark chapter 5 is brimming with impossible cases. It has been called the Bible home for incurables.

     | 3,903 views

    God’s answer to the question: "Who is my neighbor?" often leaves us asking for option "B".

    Today’s question from the Word of God is: Who is your neighbor? I would have to guess that this Scripture is the second most known story that Jesus ever told ... the story of the Good Samaritan. READ vv. 25-29 A Good Question And An Unexpected Answer That’s a good question. People ask questions ...read more

     | 5,338 views

    We don’t have what it takes to live a Christian life. Only Jesus Christ living through us can do that.

    I can’t remember when I first learned John 3:16. It seems as if I grew up knowing this verse of Scripture. I heard about a lady who used to make her children memorize a verse of Scripture when they wanted something. One day her daughter said, "Momma, everything I have I have because of Scripture. ...read more

    Do we worship the same God in different ways? Is Jesus a way? One way out of many? Or is Jesus the only way? Jesus said, ’I am the way, the truth and the life’.

    Invisible Man

     | 10,376 views

    As Ralph Ellison helped us see racism as one group treating another as invisible, so today we need to discern who is invisible to us; and we need to see how Jesus is invisible to many until He is connected to the culture and until we make Him visible.

    "I am an invisible man." Those words, pecked out on an old typewriter one night in the Vermont hills, began a literary work of unparalleled beauty and power. Ralph Waldo Ellison; encouraged to make music and to write by his father; inspired by the civil rights activism of his mother, began to ...read more
