    comparison is made between Moses and Christ; between law, and grace and truth, or between law and the gospel. Our text shows clearly the superiority of Jesus Christ.

    When the Pharisees approach John the Baptist demanding to know his credentials John never responds with who he is, but who he knows and who he represents. Learn the value of being an agent for Jesus Christ.

Today I could be thought of in many roles: husband, son, father, pastor, writer, or musician. When I’m with other pastors I could want to be thought of ...read more

    First Sunday of Advent dealing with how we share Merry Christmas with those around us.

    Here are some classic salutations. Guess where they come from? "Hey Lucy, I’m home." "Whattzzsuuup!" "Na-nu, na-nu.". "Happy Christmas to all and to all a goodnight." "How you doing?"

     | 3,644 views

    This message explains why "either/or" thinking doesn’t work in the Kingdom of God, and we should expand our perspective to include "both/and" thinking.

    We are discovering the ways we shrink Jesus in our own minds, from the robust love and nature that is truly His. ? The great "I Am" is calling you and is with you to transform you and this world. ? Either/or thinking often shrinks Jesus in our minds and in our lives. * Trip to the ...read more

     | 6,684 views

    Have you ever wished that God would show Himself to you? Did you know that He already has? We’ll see that in our passage today as we look at the prologue to John’s gospel.

I’ve heard it said that for us to try to see God in His fullness and completely describe Him would be like a germ trying to describe the universe. In and of Himself, God is completely incomprehensible to man. In His eternal three-in-one ...read more
