    Sunday morning 2000 years ago, the disciples of Jesus are hiding in a locked room. They were without hope. They were afraid to go out into the streets. On this Easter we can understand their fear as we sequester behind closed doors shuttered windows. Quotes from B. Graham & C. Colson

    He is Risen! He has risen indeed! The world has tried to cancel Easter and shutter church doors. Easter cannot be canceled… 2000 years ago all the forces of hell tried that and it failed. The forces of evil tried to kill the infant Jesus. Their plan failed. The same forces of evil ...read more

The “…were talking over the back fence. “I went to a wedding this weekend,” said one, “but I don’t think the marriage will last.” “Why Not?” asked the other. “well when ...read more

    There is something resplendent in the dark and cold. It's like a cold winter night. The snow muffles all sound, so an incredible silence takes over. It should be dark but it isn't, not really.

    Sometimes our disappointments in life can become God's appointments, so don't let closed doors bother you. The things we think of as failures and problems can often end up being blessings in disguise.

    In life, we often encounter doors of opportunity that open and close before us. But are these doors being opened and closed by God? While the exact phrase "When God shuts one door, He opens another" is not found in the Bible, it aligns with the truth that we will explore in this sermon. We will ...read more

    No wonder people see Christians as uncaring when they hear these words used like a sledge hammer against any OTHER RELIGION or against anyone who does not believe in Christ. It implies that God is UNLOVING and rigidly bent on sending people to hell.

    Part 10 - Matthew 12:24-30 - GOD, YOU ARE SO NARROW MINDED AND INFLEXIBLE! There's a fictional story of the soldier in the American civil war who did not want to fight with anyone.

    Our world today will try to convince people that ultimately everyone goes to heaven. God makes it very clear that is not the truth.

    I mentioned last Sunday that the world tries to convince people that there is more than one way to get to heaven. God showed us in Scripture that His Son Jesus told us very plainly that He is the way, the truth, and the life, and that no one gets to the father unless they go through Jesus. But ...read more
