    Serving and honoring God as his redeemed children means that we give him our very best - give to him from your heart.

    Malachi 1:6-14 Do you like leftovers? They can be perfectly delicious. Some even prefer leftovers like cold pizza the next morning. But how many of us would dare to serve our leftovers to an honored dinner guest? It might just be delicious, but we simply could not do it. Instead we give our very ...read more

    This sermon highlights the need for the Church body to be united in "mind and purpose" in the midst of conflicting, and constantly changing ideologies and trends.

    SUNDAY, JULY 1, 2012 UNITED WE STAND Let me read one of Aesop’s Greek fables; In the forest, there lived four oxen. They were very good friends and always went together to graze in the fields.

    In running the race set before us- we must be aware of dangerous trip wires that will keep us from moving forward in our quest for godliness.

    The Tortoise and the Hare While the real text that we’re going to deal with begins in Hebrews 12:12—it is so important to see the context of this chapter. It extends back a few chapters. Hebrews has a double-edged theme. On one hand the author is proclaiming that Christ is so much ...read more

    Will God Forgive?

    Contributed by Harold Kouwenberg on Aug 3, 2013
     | 4,961 views

    Psalm 51 gives us an insight to the deeply personal confession of David and a glimpse of the grace God affords sinners like us. The emphasis isn't on judgement, it is on confession, repentance and grace. Our response is worship, thansgiving and testimony.

    "WILL GOD FORGIVE?" Psalm 51: 1-19 Matthew 7: 1-5 "NEVER! I'll never in a million years forgive that man! After what he's done to me, he can just forget about ever talking to me again! That's one thing I can never do. I just can't forgive what he has done." ...read more

    Many times those who serve in obscurity are overlooked, but provide a tremendous impact to the body of Christ. We must encourage those who serve in the shadows to continue for the Lord.

    I approached this text with fathers in mind, for a Father's Day message. Our society needs men who understand their spiritual obligations and are willing to invest in the lives of others.

    Our Obligations in Christ Philippians 2: 12-16 Today we celebrate Father’s Day and seek to honor those men who have made an impact in our lives, particularly our dads.
