    Paul discloses a progression in the Christian pilgrimage to the Ephesian believers in that they had Heard the Truth then Believed in Jesus and went on to be Sealed by the Spirit.

    HEARD, BELIEVED, SEALED Today we celebrate the Day of Pentecost. What a wonderful day it was for the first disciples of the risen, ascended and glorified Jesus.

    Finding contentment in the midst of a discontent world is possible only in a relationship with Jesus Christ.

    We are to train for godliness like we train our bodies in the gym. I use the analogy of physical training to explain spiritual training.

    When it comes to money and finances, preachers often fall into one of two extremes. The first is to avoid mentioning money altogether; or, if they absolutely must talk about it, to approach the topic very gingerly and apologetically, with a vague sense of embarrassment, as if money were a subject ...read more

ABC’s game show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" became a huge hit about a year and a half ago. Regis Philbin is now a household name.

    Do you know the power of His resurrection?

    Does the Resurrection Affect You? As is my manner, I will be a bit non-traditional this Easter or as I prefer this Resurrection Day.
