    The old argument between Paul and James, faith or works, is really two sides of the same coin. Both are needed for a church’s life to be whole. Preached on a Sunday when members were asked to sign up for various ministries.

Two different people, just because they are different personalities, can read the same data, hear all the same pros and cons, examine all the same ...read more

    Why is it that they won't be convinced by someone rising from the dead? It is the heart and faith, and the Holy Spirit, on hearing the Word, and not great miracles that brings people to Christ.
