     | 5,999 views

    Paul was passionate about the church. He had developed a personal relationship with them and knew their needs and concerns. Pastors, and those within the church, can glean much from the Apostle in this passage. We need the commitment and passion he had.

Paul understood this principle of leadership and provided a great ...read more

    A sermon about how much God loves you.

    “Beloved” Luke 15:1-32 If there were one word I could use to describe how other people see you what would it be?

     | 3,853 views

    Do you ever struggle to make sense of the things going in life? Why would God allow certain things to happen. The name "I AM" is one that helps us in the way we look at the things that we and others are going through in this life that might not make sense to us.

    Do you ever struggle to understand why God would allow certain things to happen? You turn on the TV, read the latest headlines, look at the world around you, or what is personally going on in your own life, and we struggle to make sense of things.

    A sermon about trusting in Christ.

    “You Give Them Something to Eat” Matthew 14:13-21 Jesus liked to eat. The disciples of John the Baptist noticed this enough to ask Jesus why He didn’t fast.
