     | 3,366 views

    When the opinion of men supersedes the opinion of God, we are focusing too much on people; and there are believers who unknowingly worship people. But the only one whom we should be seeking to please and worship is Jesus.

    John once shared the account of some people who had denied Christ for fear of what the Pharisees would think.

    I wanted to speak to you today about "The Need for Walls" If you think about everywhere, you go whether it be home, work, church, to a store, or even the vehicle you came here in this morning they are all enclosed by some form of walls for shelter and protection.

The Great Wall was built over a period of 2,300 years! It is the longest man-made structure in the history of the world and has a ...read more

     | 246 views

    When we take Communion we need to be guided by scripture. There are biblical examples that show both good and bad ways to partake. I Corinthians 11:17-22 gives an example of the wrong way and wrong attitudes to partake in communion.
