    Sometimes it takes a baby to remind an old man what your world is really about” in that one moment when Christ was born. Oh, Praise his name for that one moment! Thanks to Jim Altar for the intro to this message

    In One Moment In one moment, one seemingly insignificant measurement on the span of time, "The Word became flesh". In that moment, undiminished Deity became humanity.

    An exposition of Nicodemus’ enounter with Jesus. I opened with an illustration from the movie: "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." It was a good tie in because the movie is about a man who was born old, which is on par with the question that Nicodemus

I don't read the stars so relax, but it has always interested me that the sign of the fish was used by early Christians as a secret symbol.

    Based on the Mario Murillo book. This message focuses on five keys to revival: a faithful prayer core, an attitude of humility, travailing in prayer, shattering the barrier of our old nature, and surrendering what takes priority over God.

    In the first chapter of Acts, Luke shares how Jesus ascended into heaven, and then afterwards he turns our focus toward a room. “It is the Upper Room in Jerusalem, and it is just weeks after the resurrection of Jesus. One hundred twenty believers are praying and waiting. All they know is that ...read more

    We need to run to the waters of baptism and drown our old sin-filled lives. We need to be raised from spiritual death and filled with a passion for the Gospel, because it will make one helluva difference in our world.

    The events we just heard about in Acts 10:44-48 occur as part of Peter’s first sermon to the Gentiles. Peter had received a vision from God. In that vision, a sheet unfolded from heaven. On that sheet were animals of all kinds, including animals that were unclean under Jewish law. God ...read more

    Thousands of books have been written in response to that age old question; what's the meaning of life?' Nearly all of them are wrong but there is an ancient book, written by the inspiration of God that tells us the answer to that most perplexing question!

    Today we are going to talk about a question that has perplexed even the most intelligent people on earth for thousands of years. It's a question that has been widely debated by scholars and philosophers and yet simply ignored or even scoffed at by scientists and atheists. That question is "what is ...read more

    The book is important because the sad reality is instead of being a nation founded on THE FREEDOM OF RELIGION we seem to be turning into the nation founded on THE FREEDOM FROM RELIGION. We as a nation now behave as though the Bible is to old fashioned.

Sermon has been adapted and expanded upon with my thoughts and direction of Holy Spirit) TITLE: REND YOUR HEARTS AND NOT YOUR GARMENTS SCRIPTURE: JOEL 2:1 / 12-14 Joel is ...read more

    Christmas is the celebration of a Child. Christ coming to Earth was not to establish the economic madness we call Christmas. It was to crush the head of that old serpent, Satan. It was to break the chains that enslave you. It was the fulfillment of the promise God made in the book of Genesis.

    Isaiah 9:6-7, "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His Name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne ...read more

     | 2,691 views

    Today’s passage brings together two events which are not unrelated to each other: the cleansing of the Temple, and the withering of the fig tree. Both are figurative of the state and changing status of the old Jewish faith at the dawn of the gospel era.

    THE WITHERED FIG TREE. Mark 11:12-33. I. The Barren Fig Tree. Mark 11:12-14; Mark 11:20-26. As we see Jesus approaching the fig tree (Mark 11:12-13), we need to recollect that Jesus is God. The fig tree is a well-known symbol of Israel: ‘every man under his vine and his fig tree’ (cf. ...read more

    The fulness of time had come…. The “Hope of Nations” the “Messiah” was on His way. The announcement of that longed for event came in quite an unexpected way – the angel who had replaced Lucifer – the angel Gabriel - appeared to an old childless priest:

    August 12, 2023 One Sabbath, after church, a mom asked her little girl what the picture she had drawn was supposed to be. It looked like a bunch of brown scribbles surrounding some kind of big green thing. The little girl said, “Well, this is the wilderness, and that’s John the Cactus.” Today, ...read more
