    We live in a restless, violent, ever changing world that moves in unknown directions every day. We were witness to this sad reality this past week when those victims at Virginia Tech lost their lives.

    Religious Intolerance in our Time. Acts Chapter 5:17,41 The Apostles Persecuted 17 Then the high priest and all his associates, who were members of the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. 18 They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail. 19 But during the night ...read more

    God has bestowed us with unique gifts, not for our own benefit, but for the purpose of serving others. It's our duty to embrace these gifts and use them in service.

    Today, we will discuss the importance of making a commitment to serve God. Many Christians have a vague understanding of what it means to serve God, often limiting their involvement to an advisory role. However, God has gifted each of us with unique abilities for the purpose of serving Him. In this ...read more

    This is a response to the Virginia Tech murders. It examines our response as Christians and as responsible firearm owners. It also questions what we can do to be part of the solution. Although it is a manuscript, there is a lot to be ad-libbed in this.

    As Peter concluded this very practical letter that addressed the difficulties the church faced while seeking to encourage them to remain committed, he drew their focus back to the one who could provide all they needed regardless of the situation - the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Victory in Jesus 1 Peter 5: 6-11 We have considered much in our time moving through Peter’s first epistle. Being aware of their struggles, Peter addressed their need while challenging them to remain steadfast in spite of the opposition they faced. He knew the world was watching their lives, ...read more

    I am convinced that the devil's greatest fear is that the church will get a revelation of the power that we already have, and that we will start acting like who God says we are.

    I believe that the devil is most afraid of the church realizing the power we already possess and starting to act in accordance with who God says we are. Let's read Acts 2:1-4: "When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind ...read more

    The whole idea of sharing our treasure seems to run counter to man’s nature, that is - to do our own thing, to think only of ourselves first.

    Ministering is Sharing our Treasures Psalm 126:6 A couple of years ago, Tim Forneris, a 22 year old groundskeeper gave Mark McGwire, a million dollar ball, saying "I think I have something that belongs to you." McGwire in turn gave it to the Hall of Fame to display beside Babe Ruth’s and Roger ...read more
