    God knows everything you do; He hears everything you say; and He sees exactly where you are. So stop making excuses and move forward in your faith.

    As always, we start with a question: What do you do, who do you know, or where do you go, that you know in your heart you shouldn’t do, know, or go? Let me remind you of something: It does not matter where you go, or in some people’s lives, where they try and hide. God is still with ...read more

    This message is the fifth in a series that deals with some of the difficult sayings of Jesus. This message looks at Jesus' warning in regard to looking back.

    At first glance Jesus sounds very harsh as He addresses someone that sincerely wanted to follow Him. What’s wrong with wanting to tell His family goodbye? In 1978 the Little River Band wrote a song that describes a great tendency that many of us have. Listen to these few lines from this song. ...read more
