    Unless and until you believe in your heart that Jesus rose from the dead you will not be changed from a sinner to a Saint. For many people is it the 18 inches between the head and the heart that is the obstacle to their faith in Christ.

    Last week we examined the Triumphal entrance of Jesus as He came into Jerusalem for the very last time. And one of the things we examined was that there were people in the crowd that asked, “who is this”.

Again that is Matthew 25:31-46. We will be there in just a moment. Last week we examined the Triumphal entrance of Jesus as He came ...read more

We can become students of people. Knowing what makes people tick and learning from others is wise. We are ...read more
