     | 4,203 views

    If not left behind us, our pasts, our mistakes and sins are ever in front of us, and we spend our time tripping over or dodging them. God wants us future- focused, not past-ensnared.

One thing that we all share in this room is a lack of knowledge about what’s going to happen in the future. Often we think of the ...read more

     | 11,617 views

    Years ago I heard Dr. Adrian Rogers put it this way: “the heart of the human problem is the problem of the human heart.” I agree. In other words if you really want to see change take place, you have to change someone’s heart.

    HEARTBEATS “The Heartbeat of Jesus” Matthew 6:21 I am sure that one thing all of us could agree on this morning is that our world is in deep trouble. America is in trouble and something has to be done. But what we might not agree on is what the solution actually is. Many of us would ...read more
