    We long to live a purposeful life. One Christian author Rick Warren wrote a book, "The Purpose Driven Life", with a subtitle, "What on earth am I here for?" It turned out to be a bestseller, because that’s the cry of the human heart. We want to live life with meaning and purpose. I want to make ...read more

    This is about Jesus and woman at the well.

    This is a rich passage. I could spend a couple months preaching from this passage. Give background of animosity between Jews and Samaritans. Women were marginalized. Read John 4:1-42. What does it mean that Jesus had to go through Samaria? Was it divine or geographically necessary? ...read more

    A message to challenge American Christians to change the way we see our country (USA), our church and ourselves.

    We have all had the experience of reading our Bible and having a verse, a phrase or even a word leap off the page and grab our spirit. When that happens, the Lord is obviously trying to tell us something. Recently, I have had that experience while studying, John 4. In verse 4, we read “But He ...read more

    Retells the story of the Samaritan Woman with a stress on the advantages of God’s truth vs. Man’s

    Over the past couple of weeks we’ve discussed the conflict between the world and God regarding truth. The world accepts truth only with the idea of its being flexible and subject to opinion or one’s point of view. The world adamantly rejects the very idea of "absolute truth" and ends up in moral ...read more

    The Savior meets us right where we are.

    It may seem a little unnecessary at first...sort of stating the obvious, to call Jesus “Master Evangelist”. The word evangelist means, ‘messenger’, or ‘one sent out’, and He is the one who has sent out every messenger of God; whether man or angels. Since it is His message that they bring; ...read more
