    The early church was successful in their efforts to reach the world around them for Jesus and Acts 4:32-35 gives us insights as to why.

    INTRODUCTION • SLIDE #1 • Have you ever wondered why you have tried to do something, but it did not seem to work? • You put time and effort into the endeavor, yet at the end of the day, it just did not work. • Then maybe you tried again with the same result, so after a while, you just gave up. • As ...read more

    It is important in life that we move some things 18 inches from our head to our heart and keep them there.

    INTRODUCTION There is a question in the Bible asked by God to me and to you us that we must know the answer to at some point in our Christian journey. We are going to need to know that answer not in our heads but in our hearts. God makes sure we don’t miss the question, so He asked it twice. If ...read more

    The Innkeeper And His Guests Missed The First Advent Series

    It would be tragic to leave Jesus out of Christmas 2021 because I am too busy or because I am so absorbed in my own little world. That’s what happened the First Christmas, and that same time have been happening in many homes Christmas after Christmas.

    INTRODUCTION CUSTOM BLOCK Advent means the arrival; the appearance and that term is usually associated with someone who is notable. So, it is fair to say that those who lived in the times of the Old Testament were looking for the Advent (the coming, the appearance) of Christ. In fact, Advent is not ...read more

    Are You The King Of The Jews?

    Jesus was the King who never looked like a King, the King who never acted like a king – at least not in the way the world understands royalty. He came the first time, 2000 years ago, as the servant king, and he is coming again, in power and in glory, as the king over all kings.

    Today is the last Sunday of the Christian year, traditionally recognised as ‘The Feast of Christ the King’. Next week is Advent - the start of a new Christian year, but today we conclude the old ecclesiastical year with a proclamation of the kingship of Christ. ‘The Feast of Christ the King’ is a ...read more

    Jesus honored God by always serving others and loving the kingdom of God. All of us will face tremendous pressure from within and without. Our greatest challenge will be responding in such a way that God is glorified.

    Recently I watched a documentary called "The Fake Famous." It highlighted three average “Joes” who manipulate social media by purchasing followers, manipulating algorithms and other technics designed to fool people into believing they were famous and trend setters.
