    Paul had a unique conversion, yet every coming-to-Christ is a miracle.

    Introduction What was the origin of Paul’s religion? Paul’s been called “that rascal who messed everything up”, the “angry theologian”, and the “inventor of Christianity”. I believe he is none of these things, and I contend that there is a harmony ...read more

    There are two things we all will agree on in this congregation:

    (1) WE RECOGNIZE THAT GOD CREATED US Christians believe in CREATIONISM not in EVOLUTION. Why? One of the reasons is that evolution does not make any sense.

    Since the Garden of Eden, Satan has been working against the plans and purposes of God regarding humanity. As one reads the Scriptures, a pattern of resistance and opposition is prevalent against those who sought to proclaim the truth. He continues to oppose the Word and the faithful.

    Not unlike other churches within the first century, Thessalonica faced much adversity and opposition. They were relentlessly attacked for their faith in Christ. However, Paul encouraged them to remain steadfast in the faith, standing firmly for the Lord.

    Having Done All, Stand 1 Thessalonians 2: 14-16 It has been a few weeks since we began to study this powerful letter to the Thessalonian church. Our last encounter revealed Paul encouraging the church to be an imitator of Christ rather than a pretender of the faith. He exhorted them to a life ...read more

    Believers are aware of the adversary we face in this walk of faith. Since the fall of Adam, Satan has sought to hinder and defeat believers. He has power and influence, but like all of creation, Satan must submit to the sovereign power of God.

    The Minister of Mayhem Esther 5: 9-14 Our text today follows Esther’s entrance before the king. She was received of Ahasuerus and promised that her request would be granted. She had invited Ahasuerus and Haman to a small banquet that served as an invitation to a larger banquet the following day – ...read more

     | 15,715 views

    Jesus asked a perplexing question that continues to cause confusion and uncertainty - who is my family? His focus was not to appease His brothers, but to please His Father. Our relationship with Christ, and devotion to Him, must exceed all else.

    Being in the Family Mark 3: 31-35 Our text today reveals an encounter that was difficult for many to accept. Very likely the intentions of our Lord were misunderstood and misrepresented. Even today, as we consider these verses, this passage remains difficult for many to comprehend and accept. As ...read more
