    Jesus was not born on the "right side of the track." We can accomplish more than we ever thought. This sermon looks at the lineage and culture of the Birth of Christ.

    We need to be prepared to tell people about Jesus as we go about our lives… Who is Jesus? Where did He come from? What did do? What did say? What was His character? What was His nature? And can we truly be like Him? Can we really obtain the God given dreams, goals, and aspirations that we have? ...read more

    It is better to be cleansed from the roots of evil than to be lead from the different forms of prisons that they build around us.

    On the second Sunday of Advent, Mark 1.1-8 calls our attention to the person of John the Baptist. John is a figure of confrontation. This confrontation is interior in nature. It has to do with our inner self. It is the greatest challenge of cleansing ourselves innerly. Tom was a quite boy. His ...read more
