One of the most painful experiences in life is to be betrayed by someone we love. • We all know the ...read more

    We find that we have dallied or been irresponsible, and the things we said we want to accomplish are impossible at this late date. But God is capable of redeeming even that element of irresponsibility if we renew our commitment to Him.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC, August 28, 1988 Here we are at the end of summer, or nearly so. It's the end of August, which is at least psychologically the end of summer. It's the end of the summer feeling, for now it's back to reality, now it’s back to business and a ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 12,002 views

    The great question of the Resurrection is not whether it really happened - it did — and the evidence is overwhelming, so that’s not the question. Instead, the great question of the resurrection is - now what?

    TITLE: EASTER, THE GOSPEL OF HOPE SCRIPTURE: ST. MARK 16:1-8 One of the great disparities between the first Easter and our Easter today is that today Easter has become that time when we as Christians at least appear to have everything together — and that’s not a bad thing - this is just part of ...read more

    Why are we in church? punch a clock, tradition, or to spend quality time?

    It’s about time Psalm 92:1-5 I was thinking this week and trying to decide the most stressful time on any given week for Christians. When I started narrowing it down, I decided that I would be a bit more specific. I decided to actually limit the scope to be “active” Christians. When I say ...read more

    Our world is filled with all kinds of signs...the Bible tells of other signs.

    We sow what we reap so we need to be sowing good seeds and praying and fasting puts in in the right attitude to hear from the Lord.

    Christmas Eve is a time to FEEL the presence of God coming to you.

    Christmas Eve (Mt.18:3-4) Tonight, Christmas Eve, is a time for the heart more so than for the mind. Everything about tonight invites us to feel something rather than to think something.
