May the Lord fill you with grace and peace today! PTL!!) Please open your Bibles to Matthew 8:18-27 which we will read in a few minutes. There ...read more

    Too many Christians believe it’s easier to pay off the bully than learn how to defeat him. Too many don’t even realize we are living on a battlefield not a playground!

    Life is a Battlefield Text: Ephesians 6:10-14 Introduction: A man wrote: "There used to be this bully who would demand my lunch money every day. Since I was smaller, I would give it to him. Then I decided to fight back. I started taking karate lessons, but the instructor wanted $5 a lesson. That ...read more

    As Christians, this may sound counter-productive to ministry! However, Paul lets us know that sometimes it is better to be seen than heard!

She said that she had attended church since she was 6 and never, EVER heard a sermon on this scripture! Far be it from me to back down from a ...read more

     | 4,230 views

    The hope we have in Christ is a living hope that will never perish, spoil or fade.

    1 Peter 1:3-12 You might have heard the old saying “where there’s life, there’s hope”. That saying tells us how important hope is to people, because if we reverse it, it says “where there’s hope, there’s life” – which means that where there’s no hope, there’s death. As humans, we live on hope. ...read more
