    The Bible sees no contradiction between the equality of men and women before God, and the distinction in roles in marriage.

    Last Sunday, I spoke on the issue of male headship in the home. I mentioned that this was a difficult topic to preach on, because this is an area where our society is so far out of synch with God’s plan. I said that today, those who uphold the Biblical pattern for the home are ridiculed and ...read more

    A young undergraduate at Cambridge who had never read the Bible before was given a New Testament to read.

    Resolving Ministry Conflict By Putting Pride To Rest

    As ministers together in the gospel of Christ, if we fall into arguing amongst ourselves, we have lost focus and we are fighting the wrong enemy. We are all on the same team. Sometimes small things need to be let go in favor of confronting larger issues.

    As we have followed the new disciples of Jesus, we have seen a number of important lessons taught and demonstrated. These early lessons are from the book of John: • Jesus changes your perspective • Jesus gains your faith as a friend • Jesus spends time with family • Jesus introduces us to ...read more

    The Devil does not appear to us in a red suite with a pitchfork. In fact, Satans temptations are often attractive and fill legitimate needs - or seem to. Learn how Jesus fought these temptations and how we can as well.

    Unconfessed sin will lead to the destruction of life and eternal separation from God the Father.

    In healing the leper, Jesus showed his power not only over disease but all that disease represents in this world: the corruption and chaos of sin.
