    Jesus endured the cross, despising the shame (Hebrews 12:2) He surrendered his mortal body according to John 10:18, Just as he said: “No one takes [my life] away from me, but I lay it down of my own free will...” The cross is not a religious symbol but an instrument of death.

    This sermon explores the concept of gratitude as a crucial element in achieving a fulfilling life, as illustrated in the biblical story of Luke 17:11-19 and the teachings of Romans 1:20-32.

    There is a Jesus story in the Bible that ends with a shocking one liner which leaves the reader wondering, what exactly does Jesus mean? In other versions this verse reads: And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.” (Luke 17:19 ESV) “Stand up and go on your way. You ...read more

    It is the humble servants of the Lord, not the outwardly religious, who will enjoy Him forever.

    One of the awesome things I’ve noticed as we’ve gone through Isaiah over the last few months has been amazing contrasts we see in the character to God, the paradoxes in his divine nature and his sovereign action.
