    During the Last Supper, Jesus tells disciples that they are not of this world. And in the epistles, we see that Christians are dead to sin. In this message, we look at what it means to be dead but spiritually alive.

    Dead To The World Let’s open with John 18:36. Jesus has been arrested and is being questioned by Pilate. “Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from ...read more

    This is a follow-up on "Choosing the Good Portion," (Luke 10: 38-42). Our faith and attitude intertwine to affect our outlook on life, on our relationships with others and with God, and are the necessary components of effective prayer life.

    Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, have you ever been in a situation where you thought everybody would agree with you only to receive immediate comments to the contrary? I found that out last Sunday when we talked about choosing the good portion and I used the illustration of Kentucky Fried ...read more

    Chronic worry is killing us. It can affect our daily life emotionally and physically. But the good news is that God offers us a wonderful exchange. His unexplainable peace in exchange for our worry, anxiety and care.

    Letting God Take Care of Our Cares 1 Peter 5:6-7 Does anyone here this morning consider themselves prone to worry? Do you sometimes dwell on what might happen if _____________?

    The results of the pandemic have affected so much around us. Many are living in fear instead of faith. The temptation to forsake public worship or assembling together is stronger today than I have experienced before.

    Is Church Attendance Important? There is a Pandemic!

    When we become a Christian, not only does Christ take away our sin, we identify with him, in death to our old ways, resurrection power to affect change, and life in a whole new way.

    Colossians 3:1-10 Living Life the Way God Intended When you become a believer, you adopt a whole new set of values. You realign your life to live God’s way instead of Satan’s way.

    Divorce is a sensitive issue that has touched a majority of lives, either directly or indirectly. With so many people affected by this issue, we need to consider what the Bible has to say and look at if from a biblical perspective.

    We as modern disciples are an extension of Jesus’ ministry. We are witnesses to the same real relationship with Jesus that the disciples had. We have his power so that we can touch lives and affect eternity.
