And now He proceeded to say to His disciples first, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, that is to say, beware of ...read more

    This is the 32nd sermon from a series on the Gospel of John. In this sermon we look at how Jesus delayed his coming to Mary and Martha after Lazarus' death, and why He did that. As well as why it's so important to know Jesus, rather than just know about Him.

And we did get to spend time with him on his birthday, but not at his house… in the hospital. I think most of you ...read more

    Did you know our memory is a gift from God. We all like gifts but this is a wonderful gift God has given us. Just think about it, wouldn’t it be a terrible thing to live our entire life and when we die nobody remembers that we ever existed.

    How Job’s desire for intimacy with God remained even in times of suffering.

    INTIMACY WITH GOD I read recently in a book the following: ‘Look at any Sunday morning congregation and what do you see?
