    Love is the key to all we do in the Christian life. It is the key to our ministry; the key to our relationships; and the key to our victory.

    Love Is The Key Text: 1 Cor.13: 13 Intro: Have you ever thought about how easy it is for people to misrepresent themselves to others?

    The Bible is full of surprises, and some of the best are characters that pop up in the Book of Acts and then pop right back out again. Apollos the Eloquent is one of them.

    The power of the New Covenant is in a MAN (Jesus). A man who touches. That touch has passed from man to man through the centuries, and now - you’re it! Who will you touch?

    You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. John 15:16 (NIV) The Game of Tag Is one of the oldest of games… Thrill of pursuit, of being pursued… There were times I wanted to ...read more

    It doesn't matter how active you are in ministry if you are teaching a distorted Gospel.

    Some of you may remember my telling of an incident that took place in our Presbytery last fall. A woman pastor from the Netherlands was received into membership in our Presbytery even though she does not believe that Jesus is God, or in the atonement - that is, that the death of Jesus on the cross ...read more

    Malachi was a prophet of God who prophesied in the last days before the first coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. You and I are living in the last days before the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Oh, Really? Malachi 1:1-14 Malachi is the final book in the Old Testament. Malachi has the last say in the Old Testament times. Malachi is kind of a transitional book.
