    Quitting is often the easiest course of action when you encounter hardships in your life, but Quitting should never be an option for the Christian when doing the Lord’s Will. Persistence must always be our course of action.

    QUIT THINKING ABOUT QUITTING TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 15:58; Hebrews 12:1-2 TITLE: PERSISTENCE INTRODUCTION: Anyone and everyone that has ever attempted to faithfully serve the Lord and to live a life that honors Christ has met continual opposition, disappointments, and discouragements.

    SOMETHING WORSE THAN GOING TO HELL This message is based in part on a sermon I heard several years ago. The preachers name has long since slipped my mind, but the echo of the living coal I was touched with through that message continues to resonate in my soul. This message is about something ...read more

    Why Jesus Came? Series

    He is the reason for the Season. We celebrate the season because He is in us. Christmas is not receiving gifts, not asking for gifts, not Santa, not Ever green Tree, not the pomp and show of lights and all the other things..... Christmas is Jesus. Yes it is receiving the gift God gave to mankind.

    It is important to know why Jesus came. He did not come to make the life on earth more comfortable. He did not come to make life more easy in your situation. He came with a purpose to this earth. Let me tell you from the Bible at least four reasons I found in my study, why He came. 1. Jesus came ...read more

    Lessons to learn as we think about death and the rest of our lives - am I ready and are those around me ready? What will I do with the rest of my days?

    Tuesday was All Saints Day and therefore this Sunday is All Saints Sunday. I don’t know if you realized it. I remember how it was in Poland – a national holiday – one of the big ones. Mostly people spend the day with relatives, walk in the cemetery, clean the graves of family ...read more

For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, ...read more

    10 lepers were healed but only one returned. Are we part of the nine, or are we the One? Those who truly worship and serve the Lord are few in number compared to the many who are blessed.

    Where Are the Nine? Sunday, March 8, 2015 By Rev. James May The time was drawing near for Jesus to pay the price of our sin upon the cross. Yet even in his last days upon the earth, Jesus never lost purpose in everything that he did. His mind was never so preoccupied with the things that he was ...read more

    Freud once noted that people (with a few exceptions) were worthless. God said that we were worth the price of His Son. How much you think people are worth will determine who you agree with.

    Several years ago this advertisement was placed in a New England are newspaper: "Unknown item for sale. We know it's valuable; we just don't know what it is. If you can identify it, we'll sell it for $250.” (Reader’s Digest 9/02 p. 145) Sometimes it’s hard to decide what something is worth. My ...read more

    Because the Lord loved people, He used everything available to teach people about the judgment of God.

    Some folks do not believe there is such a thing as the Judgment of God. It has been said that the only sure things in life are DEATH AND TAXES. But there's one more thing we can be sure of, and that is the judgment of God. When you live in an age when people do not want to take ...read more
