Pick a God who is in control and Almighty! But someone can say, “I don’t believe in God, so that proves that God is not ...read more

     | 5,932 views

    Two truths that Jesus shared. 1. Do Good to Please God. ( Matthew 6: 1-4.) Give without letting others know. 2. Love Your Enemies. (Matthew 5: 38-42) Its actually a really hard thing what Jesus expects of us as Christians. It is hard to be a Christian.

    There is a series of teaching that Jesus did while preaching to crowds in the countryside that begins in Matthew chapter 5 and goes to chapter 7. He was preaching on a wide range of subjects and had a way of opening up the scriptures for all to understand. But he also added to the scripture by ...read more

    God calls us to show love towards people in the world while at the same time renouncing the world. Viewed as people, the world must be loved; viewed as a corrupt system opposed to God, the world is not to be loved.

     | 3,354 views

    God describes sin with words like disobedience, lawlessness, iniquity, wickedness, trespass, transgression, and rebellion. The truth about sin is not only repulsive, but it is also personal. Sin is not other people’s problem. It is ours.

     | 3,432 views

    Just a few days before Passover, our Lord rode into Jerusalem riding a donkey. The people with Him knew exactly what was going on but some of the people in Jerusalem asked, "Who is this?"

    Introduction: This event, the “triumphal entry”, is recorded in all four of the Gospels. Each author has similar but not identical information; among other things this proves they didn’t get together to create some “talking points” or too-close-to-be-a-coincidence narrative. Matthew and John were ...read more

    If you ask people what their favorite SEASON is most folks will answer that it is SPRING or FALL.

    Why? Because these two seasons give us a mixture of WINTER and SUMMER at the same time. That is; in these seasons it is not TOO HOT nor is it TOO COLD. However, if you ask people what their FAVORITE THOLIDAY is, overwhelmingly many would say -- CHRISTMAS. It is a time when it seems everyone ...read more

    We live in a hectic and fast paced world. I’m sure that many of you have noticed just how busy life can be. I read an article entitled, “Goal Oriented or People Oriented,” and I want to share with you something it says. This article states, “Many times we get caught up in our ‘to do’ lists and ...read more
