    A consideration of what our Savior says about the salvation provided thorugh His death and resurrection.

    Some refer to our Lord’s prayer recorded in John 17 as His “high priestly prayer,” because of our Savior’s intercession for His disciples.

    God is constantly at working preparing and restoring His servants. This sermon discovers what it means to be a servant of God.

    If a friend of yours was to ask you what it means to be a servant of God, how would you respond? In our reading from Isaiah 49 God reveals some of the things about being one of his servants. Interestingly this reading is a prophecy spoken many years before Jesus was born on earth to help people ...read more

    Forgiveness Is Not A Choice

    I want to start with something funny, so listen to this. One Sunday a Preacher’s message was about forgiveness. Hoping to have made an impact, towards the end of the sermon, he asked his congregation, “How many of you have been able to forgive those who offended ...read more
