    To be born again means trusting God enough to leave the safety of our old life

    “Very truly, I tell you, no-one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.” Jesus always chose the words he used very carefully. To appreciate that this is true you only have to think about the stories he told to illustrate the message he was trying to get across. Think about the ...read more

    An annotated outline of a basic salvation message. Nicodemus had a lot going for him, but none of it was enough.

He wasn’t yet prepared to enter the kingdom of God. Jesus made it clear about those who would not be able to enter ...read more

    There can be no spiritual journey or rightful claim to Christianity without first having a personal encounter with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

    WE DETERMINE IF CHRISTIANITY BECOMES DEFINED AS EITHER RELGION OR RELATIONSHIP. THE DEFINING FACTOR OF WHAT CHRISTIANITY BECOMES IS BASED SOLELY ON WHERE WE DECIDE TO PUT JESUS IN OUR LIFE. SO, JUST HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A CHRISTIAN? WHAT CRITERIA WOULD YOU SAY NEEDS TO BE MET ...read more

    This sermon deals with how far we have come from our Founding Fathers’ original intentions for this great nation and how we are balancing on the threshold of judgment.

    America: A Nation Lost I love the United States; it has been my pride and my joy since my youth. I am proud to be an American. Though, I cannot help but be very troubled over the path America has chosen in regards to its founding and the men who fought and bled for our independence. Many ...read more

In a rather patronizing way, one of the tourist asked, “Were any great men born in this village?” The old man replied, “Nope, only babies.” Very true, only Adam and Eve did not ...read more

    In the days of the New Testament there were three levels of teacher in the Jewish community, the ḥâḵâm, the sôpçr and the ḥazzân. These levels were obtained not on the basis of academics but on the basis of morality in the person’s life. Nicodemus is thought to be of the highest ...read more
