    The critic will search for someone to listen to his criticism. Then that person adds their criticism. They egg each other on, & soon there will be a whole circle of critics - because critics love other critics.

    As Christians, there are some things that God used in the generations before us and it's high time we dig afresh some of these wells and allow God to provide 'a well of springing water'.

    Opening illustration: Illustration of the well at our home in Muladha, Oman. • The water in our faucets was stinking • Found a dead cat in our well • The well needed to be covered and air tight • No contamination allowed from outside environment or sources • No space ...read more

    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

     | 14,861 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

    complete salvation with God is a process; justification, sanctification, and glorification!

    We have been noting over and over again even as recent as the last chapter, the disciples ignored the situation when they could not understand Jesus. Finally, in a personal private setting, the disciples asked Jesus for an explanation!! I wonder how Jesus felt here? How do we feel when someone ...read more

    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

    This passage gives us the (questionable) opinions of three groups about Jesus. How did Jesus stay focused amid disparate viewpoints?

    DISINFORMATION, AGENDAS, FEARS, AND UNCERTAINTY: Everyone has an opinion about Jesus, but most of them are wrong. - John 7:1-14. - We live in a time when people often talk as though all opinions are equally valid.

    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.
