    How Christ followers can create thirst for the Water of Life.

    Jesus always said interesting things. Consider this famous quote from Matthew 5:13 (NKJV): "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men." He was talking to His followers. ...read more

    The Beatitudes are meant for all Christians. Jesus expects us to manifest all of them. They are not learnt traits, but the fruit brought forth by the grace of God in our lives.

    [I’ve taken most of the thoughts in this sermon from D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones’book Studies in the Sermon on the Mount.] Read the Beatitudes, and there you have a description of what every Christian is meant to be. • It is not merely the description of some exceptional Christians. • Jesus does not ...read more

It may not seem like a blessing to be persecuted, but persecution was the atmosphere in which the early ...read more

    Preaching through a series on Jesus’ life, this is a message on the Beatitudes, as a whole. I do not subscribe to the "standard approach" taken by many; perhaps this message will give some different ideas.
