    God’s holiness reveals man’s sin; His grace forgives. But first the man must come to a stark realization.

One of the advantages of this approach is that we cover the whole counsel of God—at least as it is revealed in this portion of God’s Word to us.

    This sermon details the cause of America’s distance from God - all in a context of remembering: the fallen soldiers; our Godly forefathers, and of course, remembering Jesus, our Christ.

Those who gave their all so that we could have it all. Those who made the ultimate sacrifice, so that we might not have to. As we look back into ...read more
