    The premise of this sermon is that even in the midst of life’s sorrow, there is a depth of joy that abides within us.

And he answered: The same well from which you laughter rises was ...read more

    This sermon’s purpose is to show that one cannot separate or make a distinction between having favor with God or experiencing God’s grace.

    Favour or Grace, You can’t separate the Two (Luke 2:39-52) I’ve often heard, he or she has found favour in the sight of God. For quite some time that phrase puzzled me. It puzzled me so much to the extent that I sought to found scriptural backing for such a statement. While searching ...read more

    How do you welcome Jesus and keep the welcome warm. Welcome others. Share the welcome and enjoy the wonder.

    Jesus’ reply to his parents reveal to us 3 things: (1)He knows His identity; (1)His heart is with God; (3)He is concerned with His Father’s business. Learn from Him.

    In those days, they travelled in caravans and relatives and whole villages often travel together and keep an eye on each other’s children. That explains why the parents lost Jesus. Joseph might have thought he was with Mary, Mary might have thought he was with one of their relatives. After ...read more

    Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Waiting. It seems that for the past couple of months that’s what we have been talking about. During the month of November we spoke of waiting and watching for the final coming of our Lord. We heard ...read more
