    Some say that Easter is a pagan holiday and should not be celebrated by Christians. The truth is, I never have celebrated the day. I celebrate that because Jesus got up from the dead, I can live also.

    What does Easter mean to me? First of all, let's see what it means to the world. To the world Easter means money. Because the world turns everything  into a selling point. To the world Easter is about commercial gain. When you walk into the store around Easter, the whole stock changes. ...read more

    Does the Bible prohibit women from being pastors and teachers in the church? Does the Bible say that women can only teach other women and children? Let's try to figure it out.

    If you would, please stand as we say together our memory Scripture for this quarter: Matthew 6:31-33 “Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. “But ...read more

    I wonder if Jesus were to enter your Temple, the place designated as your place of worship, what would He think? Would He see your Temple had been replaced by thoughts of business and making a buck? What do you daydream about during worship?

    Video is shown of Jesus’ throwing the Money-Changers out of the Temple before sermon. This is three month long study of the last week of Jesus’ earthly life. This is greatest week in history.

    Many Christians are looking to anything and everything to sustain them. But they tragically miss the main thing. They've already been made alive in Christ. It's time to discover the Source of life, and begin living from the Source-to the glory of God!

    Jesus doesn't say that the poor widow gave more than anyone else. Rather, he says that she gave “more than all.” But why did Jesus say that she gave more than all? I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.
