    There are things in our lives that we need to forget and move passed if we are to reach our potential in God. People believe that we are to forgive and forget, but as we are about to see, nothing could be further from God's Truth.

    Turn with us to Genesis 41:51, as we talk today on the theme "God Will Cause You to Forget". This is a teaching sermon. It is a concept presented by Joseph, who had two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. Their two names reflect the cornerstone doctrines of Christianity. Manasseh means God has ...read more

    Jesus calls us to follow him, just like he called Peter, Andrew, James and John. What their call means about our call.

    For those who sincerely wish to please the Lord by doing His will, determining which day is the proper day on which God’s people should come together to offer worship is quite crucial.
