    We, as Christians, need to guard our tongues.

    There are several ways that people use to decide what kind of individual another person is. A. I am not saying that all of these are valid....indeed, I do believe that a few of these measurements do not......accurately....indicate a person’s worth. 1. Valid, or ...read more

     | 7,228 views

    Why is it that we don’t share our faith in Christ more? Maybe Jonah can shed some light on the subject. Learn 5 attitudes that keep us from reaching others from his life.

    This Ain’t No Fish Story! I want to tell you a story this morning about a fish. But it’s anything but a “fish story”. Most of us can probably remember the story of “Jonah & the Whale” from our Sunday School days, but maybe now that we’re all grown up, we kind of put it in the same category as ...read more

    WHAT DOES THIS EVIL GENERATION NEED? Matthew 12:38-42 As if the scribes and Pharisees had not provoked Jesus enough, they demand a sign from heaven from him.

    Jesus reminds us that the trash that comes out of our mouth actually has a hidden source.

    People who move to the United States from non-English speaking countries typically have a difficult time learning our language – and understandably so. English is a weird language.

     | 10,205 views

    The words that come out of our mouth reveal what is in a person's heart, shows what that individual really is like.

    There was an ad on the radio a while ago which proclaimed that "people judge you by the words you use." It was for a program that was intended to help you build-up your vocabulary.

     | 15,090 views

    Why Christmas is such an important celebration and why 2000 years after His birth, Jesus Christ is worthy of our trust, love, and devotion.

But sometimes lines spoken in movies jump off the screen and into the dictionary and become part of the way we think and speak – and inform us about ourselves and our attitudes. In the movie ...read more

    It’s not saying you don’t like the Holy Spirit – learn the real truth about the blaspheme of the Holy Spirit.

    I have a recurring dream – a nightmare, really. It takes three forms – at least one of which I’m sure you are familiar. In the dream I am either going to school, going on stage, or going on the air reporting the news on TV. In each case I arrive at my destination with no idea what I am supposed to ...read more
