    Peter has good intentions, but they are not in agreement with God's ultimate plan. We must covenant to deny ourselves and align ourselves to God's will and ways.

    WE MAY HAVE HEARD THIS FAMILIAR SAYING: “THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS.” AN INTENTION IS SIMPLY A PLAN OR GOAL WE HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH. IRONICALLY, INTENTIONS DON’T ACHIEVE ANYTHING. THEY ARE MERELY IDEAS AND DREAMS OF SPECIFIC THINGS THAT WE’D LIKE TO SEE DONE IN THE ...read more

    Jesus says these 3 things are MUSTS for anyone who desires to come after Him!

    In our western church culture, bigger is viewed as better. Bigger means success. Bigger means God’s blessing; God’s approval or better yet, special approval. Bigger is better! And to achieve & maintain this status everything the church does must be big – its music & “worship ...read more

    The Big Surprise

     | 4,832 views

    This Easter message focuses on the DISRUPTION that Jesus's presence brought into the lives of the selfish priests and Pharisees at His first Advent, their response to the disruption (murdering Jesus), and the SURPRISE Jesus's resurrection was to them and even to the disciples.

    Today we celebrate the greatest event in the history of mankind: the resurrection of Christ. Nothing has ever happened that influences the destiny of mankind like that one event.

    Following Jesus is an all or nothing proposal, and far too many so-called "believers" are riding the fence, playing a game, or trying to look devout when their character shows otherwise. Either follow and obey Him, or be honest in your unbelief and leave.

    In today's social set-up, especially here in America, the prevailing philosophy seems to be, "I want it, and I want it NOW!" Young people are crying out for this at a pace that is bordering on the ridiculous, petty, and unrealistic. I do not see even the slightest awareness in most ...read more

    Is it "Come and Dine" or "Come and Die" as Bonhoeffer stated about the Cost of Discilpeship?

    The Call to True Discipleship: An Exposition of Matthew 16:21-28 Poor Peter! He had just had a most dramatic revelation and confession of who Jesus is.

    What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and what will it cost you? In this sermon we learned that denying our selves, taking up our cross, and following Jesus, means letting go of self-preservation, self-determination, and self-identity.
