    What does it really mean to love? Jesus’ own incarnation gives us the answer.

    BEING IN LOVE I had been dating Tara (now my wife) for some time before I finally got the nerve to say it – you know – those big three words that mark the point of no return in a relationship.

If you buy a copy of Alpha Male you will see that some people think it is the man who obtains the perfect body by spending countless hours in the gym getting ripped. In the corporate world the perfect man might be someone like Robert ...read more

    We all need spiritual renewal from time to time. Where does it come from?

    My text this morning comes from the book of Isaiah, chapter forty, verses 28 through 31: "Do you not know? Have you not heard?

     | 16,927 views

    Jesus started his earthly ministry hungry and ended his earthly ministry thirsty. As we return to Jesus on the cross we come to what may be the easiest of the seven words to understand. Or is it?

    Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. (John 19:28-29) Let me open today’s message by asking you a ...read more
