The world often values the big, the many, the rich, and the famous. However, this sermon explores the idea that less can be more, and that there is strength and importance in the small and few when God is involved. It challenges the belief that bigger is always better, and encourages finding value in simplicity and smallness.
The world often promotes the idea that bigger is better and smaller is not good. The unbelievers believe that more is always better and less is not valuable.

There is but one way to God, and that is through Jesus the Son of God. He presents Himself as the Door. The message explores some of the ramifications of that truth.
“Jesus again said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to ...read more

Do women have a role to play in congregational oversight? What does the Word say?
“Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved ...read more
