    The duty and privilege of all believers is to please God.

    Pleasing God I am not sure when or how the idea got started, but somewhere along the line some of us have accepted the idea that serving God is primarily about denying ourselves of pleasure…..in order to follow rules. I believe that the Bible teaches that Christianity is not about following a ...read more

    Second in a three sermon series on prayer.

    As we mentioned last time, our Lord’s disciples had asked Him to teach them to pray (v. 1).

You find one person moved to tears by the gospel and another cold and distant. Not ...read more
