    Paul is trying to get his readers to take a holistic approach to faith and to recognize that we don’t just honor God with our words, or our songs, or attitudes, or our spirits – but honoring God also has to do with how we manage our bodies.

    “Honor God with your body,” says the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 6:20 (NLT) I don’t know how many times I’ve read through and studied 1 Corinthians over the years – dozens, hundreds? I’ve preached on it and led Bible studies through it. But as I was reading it again this week, this ...read more

    Earlier this month one of the country’s leading evangelical pastors finally admitted to using drugs and being involved in homosexual relationships.

    A look at the arrest, trial, torture and resurrection of Christ

    The images of Mel Gibson’s film are still fresh in my mind. I can see him being arrested in the Garden. I can see his trial and the brutal beating. I can see the crucifixion. And I can see the final scene as Jesus walked triumphantly from the tomb. It was a movie that has profoundly impacted ...read more

    This is a narrative sermon that shares a story about Simon of Cyrene. Several points of observation are at the end of the message. Rightfully utilized, the "story telling" methodology is an effective format for communication.

    The opening scene of the book is tragic for we find three graves in Moab. Let’s notice the story behind these 3 graves.

    Edward Boone said, "The book of Ruth is the history of a Jewish family, who, like the prodigal of Luke fifteen, went into the far country of Moab and there "began to be in want." W.G. Heslop writes, “The book of Ruth consists of less than 100 verses, and yet it would be impossible to exhaust it ...read more

    I assume you’ve all heard of Socrates, the great Greek philosopher. He was sentenced to death in 399BC because he dared to criticise the immorality of Greek Society.

    Does having the mind of Christ mean being mindless?

    If you are not a Star Trek fan you may be wondering what in the world is up with that title. Star Trek has been used to preach “another gospel” since the original series came on in 1965. Only since I became a Christian in 1975 have I understood the Star Trek message. Before that it was just ...read more
