    There is a problem when God’s people invest their time, talent, and energy in temporal things that will not make any difference. Invest wisely in the eternal.

    A short sermon that parallels a high school pottery class with our potential in life and how the devil tries to make us waste our time on this earth.

    Making Connections Series

    For some, Paul’s greetings at the end of Romans might seem boring and not relevant. To the contrary, Paul’s connections with other believers offers us a rich tapestry of life and service in the 1st century church.

    Paul’s letter to the Romans was not merely a theological treatise on God’s plan to rescue mankind from evil. He wrote it to people he had (mostly) never met, in a city where he had never been. The purpose of his letter was that of introduction. “Hi, I’m Paul, and this is what I believe.” In ...read more

    In the Great Commission in Matthew 28, there are many imperatival participles, but Jesus’ only direct imperative to His disciples was, ’Make Disciples!’ What do we do with this?

    Make DISCIPLES! Sterling C. Franklin February 2008 Text: Matthew 28:16-20 Matthew 28:16-20 16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All ...read more

    Acts 3: 1-16 Is our Christianity a failure? I am afraid that what many of us today call Christianity is failing because while addressing the proper way to behave, emphasizing Church attendance and tithing we have failed to offer people something that touches their heart. Something that stirs ...read more
