    Our first impression on hearing this title are the wise men of the Christmas story. But in our story, Jesus is answering three men in a manner we’re not accustomed to. From Jesus’s responses, we find some valuable information about God’s kingdom. Come join us on this unusual journey.

    ‘Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all’. But is the same statement true when it is applied to our relationship with God? Is the same statement true when it is applied to our relationship with our fellow believers?

    Two men were discussing the subject of love. The first one says, "I thought I was in love three times," "What do you mean ‘Thought you were in love?" asks the second guy. "Well, three years ago, I cared very deeply for a woman who wanted nothing to do with me," said the first. "Wasn’t that ...read more

    Easter Sermon, based on Mary Magdelene’s pronouncement she had seen Jesus at the Tomb and the evangelistic message of bringing Christ to others.

    How many of us have ever tried to imagine ourselves, being amongst those in that upper room so many centuries ago. Have you ever tried to imagine, what was going through the minds of the disciples? The emotion in that room must have been incredible. Mary Magdalene has already shared that Jesus’ ...read more

    Having A Pit Bull Mentality

    Contributed by Ronnie Mcneill on Sep 25, 2007

     | 14,819 views

    This sermon shows how we should have the determination of a Pit Bull to do God’s will and constantly seeking and encouraging those to find Christ who do not have a relationship with Jesus the Christ.

    Introduction: When I think of pit bulls my mind automatically goes to that dog that has a mind set of not letting go. Once it gets a hold of you it will not let go. It is determined no matter what to hold on to its victim until its victim is dead. A pit bull’s jaws are designed to lock together ...read more

    Psalm 103 is a pure song of praise. There’s not one petition in it. Instead, it crescendos with the command that everything in life must bless God! To excite and inspire Godliness in others, we must first stir it up in ourselves.

    Let’s Bless God! Psalm 103 Third in the series: "Glorify God!" (My thanks to Wm. Darryl Scott Sr. for some of this material) Introduction: Some people habitually talk to themselves. Listen as King David did it: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me bless his holy name.” Psalm 103 ...read more

    While there are many decisions that occupy our mind, many of these are decisions with temporary results. There are other decisions that are too often given lesser attention that have permanent, eternal results.
