     | 11,305 views

    God gives us grace to forgive our sins. But how many of us miss out on His favor for daily living because we ignore His promises and principles revealed in the Bible. We need to see God clearly and apply His truths daily.

    You’re probably heard the saying, “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”. You would think that Jesus could please all of the people all of the time. But he didn’t.

    You’re probably heard the saying, “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”. That sounds true from my experience. No one can please all of the people all of the time, but … if there ...read more

     | 18,372 views

    God wants us to spend time with him. But do we want to spend time with him? How can we? why should we? Do we come to God on his terms or ours?

    I once told a friend that all I wanted was to be happy in God’s presence. And I guess what I’m saying this morning is as a result of the reply I received. Because I was reminded, that I shouldn’t seek God for my own happiness, I should seek him for himself. Seeking God for himself. (But what ...read more

    Every year folks make preparations to fill out their tax returns. It is something that we are forced to do, even though many times we disagree with how our tax money is being spent.

     | 15,067 views

    I often wonder how many times I’ve been distracted by the cares of this life and miss God’s voice? Do you hear His voice? Do you feel his presence? Are you on Mount Carmel or on Mount Horeb?

    Women learn to submit to their husbands by watching their husbands submit to God. If a husband is not submitting to God, more than likely there will be a problem of submission in his home.

    based on 44 ratings
     | 39,834 views

    Jesus despised the Pharisees. But why? These guys were simply trying to please God by honoring His rules. What was it about them that angered God so much and how do we avoid becoming like them?

    About the worst thing you can call somebody in Church is to say they are a “Pharisee”. The Pharisees were THE “bad guys” in scripture and seemed to always be the main group that Jesus singled out as examples of who His followers were NOT to be like. I don’t want to be ...read more
