    "Thy Kindom Come" in the Lords’ prayer encompasses a great deal more than most Christians realize, this sermon takes a look at the Kingdom from a higher vantage point.

And if you missed the last one, don’t worry because each sermon in this series will be totally “self-contained” and understood easily by itself. Anyway, ...read more

We are all overwhemled during various stages of our lives and God has a place he wants to lead us to; ...read more

    A good life involves having 1) the right attitude, 2) have the right response, 3) have the right standard, and 4) have the right incentive.

    This message looks at what we really mean when we say, "He’s a good person" and what the Biblical standard is to be able to say that.

Both stories tell us how Jesus cares for the outcasts and the less fortunate in society and how he expects us to treat them. In Old Testament times, ...read more
