    You cannot always trust what you see, because our eyes were not designed to see everything there is. The spiritual world holds much we cannot see.

The second type of sermon tells about what we are doing that might allow something bad to come our ...read more

    Jesus warns us to assess the genuineness of our faith and be prepared for His return. Do we look like the Church, but are devoid of the Holy Spirit? Instead of lives transformed by the power of Christ, are our lives more like performance art? Jesus is coming at any moment! Are you prepared?

Not only did I tell him “Yes!” on the spot, but I also told him that I knew exactly what I wanted to preach. You see, God had ...read more
