    So many Christians believe if they were given the choice to renounce Jesus or die, that they would choose torture and death, but would they really? If we cannot make small sacrifices now, we cannot hope to make bigger ones later.

    In this sermon, I also shared the Text Illustration: The Rich Family in Church by Eddie Ogan Read story of a martyr – short one. I chose the story of Nichomachus, from Foxes Book of Martyrs. You’re living your life for Jesus Christ, but are you ready AND willing to die for Him? Could ...read more

    To get the joy of Christ, we have to be willing to imitate Him in His life and even in His death.

    What are the commandments of Jesus that we are supposed to keep, and why are they important? We have to start with the understanding that God is good, and never evil.

"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." (John 15:13) Memorial Day is all ...read more
