    With this message I want to contrast the difference between living a life away from the presence of the Lord, and living a life in the abiding presence of the Lord as illustrated in the lives of Enoch and Eve.

    Title: “Enoch and Eve” Can you imagine the dinner conversation that Adam and Eve must have had the day that she taken of the forbidden. Adam must have asked Eve about the Devil. What is he like? What Eve might have said to her husband? Satan is So Wonderful? (Gen 3:6 KJV) And when ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,512 views

    A look at Hebrews use of Scripture to prove his difficulties, and our need to use the same source.

    The title of today’s message is “Christ superior to the angels.” To us this may seem to be a very obvious statement. Of course, Christ is superior to the angels, because of what we believe about him, what we have been taught about him. But in the first century, to the community that the author of ...read more

    In this second message on the weakest link we find out that there are diseases of the tongue that must be healed in order to have a strong faith walk.

    The weakest Link Pt 2 We’ve discovered how the tongue is the mixer, that brings the ingredients of our faith together, We saw how Joshua and Caleb mixed faith with the promises of God, and how the rest did not. We saw that their failure to mix faith with the promises of God kept them ...read more

    based on 25 ratings
     | 12,580 views

    Although it is true that God wants to bring His children joy, it is surprisingly true that we can bring God joy too! (these sermons parallel Rick Warren’s "Purpose Driven Life" chapters, in this case, ch.8-14; but they are not a repeat, rather same theme

    Bringing Joy to God Introduction 1. Just how personal and emotional is God? 2. The answer: Very! 3. G. Walter Hansenin, Christianity Today wrote, “I am spellbound by the intensity of Jesus’ emotions: Not a twinge of pity, but heartbroken compassion; not a passing irritation, but terrifying ...read more

    In this text, the writer of Hebrews was exhorting them to maintain their faith in Jesus Christ, no matter what kind of trials they might have to face. These words are an encouragement for all believers going through difficult days.
