    Both Peter and Paul raise the same question: what should we be doing when … not ‘if’ but ‘when’ … the Lord appears? How do you want Him to find you? Vigilant? Full of hope and expectation? Prepared? Ready to greet Him? Or scoffing? Asleep?

    [Hold up cell phone.] Yep … we talked a little bit about this handy device last week. More accurately, we talked about one of the apps … the GPS. But there is another little handy app that I use all the time to help me plan my day … The Weather Channel’s Ten Day Weather app which, as the name ...read more

    How can we Christians become innocent of the blood of all men? 1- By proclaiming the will of God 2- By warning people night and day

    INTRO.- Innocence. That sounds good, but are we innocent in any way, shape or form? I was once in life. You were too. ILL.- It’s like the story of the little boy peeking over the corner of his newborn baby brother’s crib, saying, "Quick! Tell me what God is like before you forget." We all ...read more

    Fellowship is so much more than potluck meals and getting together for game night. Fellowship is the selfless emersion into each others’ lives.

    There are many who have become familiar with the Greek word ’koinonia.’ The most common thing people say is that it means "fellowship." I ask you to keep that thought in mind as we go through the lesson. I want to start with a short story about something terrible that happens to some Romanian ...read more

They bound him, led him away and handed him over to Pilate, the governor. In the last hour of darkness we saw Judas hand Jesus over for trial ...read more
