    From all indications Paul was a brilliant scholar and could have overwhelmed his listeners with intellectual arguments, but he shared the simple message of Jesus Christ by allowing the Holy Spirit to guide his words.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: One man who was on the path of true simplicity was, according to the Talmud, a certain Rabbi Zusya. He once said, “In the coming world, they will not ask me: “Why were you not Moses?” They will ask me, “Why were you not Zusya?” (Reader’s Digest, March, 1980). In this ...read more

    "Control your generosity when it comes to a chronic borrower." is good advice to follow. Something else too wouldn’t hurt if others would listen to it & it concerns eternity. Let’s examine it together!

    Introduction I’ve heard many say, "It’s the harshest words ever spoken by Jesus Himself." Maybe, but true none the less! In the closing remarks of His sermon on the Mount, Jesus pointedly said, "One day, some of you standing here will hear the very words, I never knew YOU come from God’s own ...read more

    This is the "Total Depravity" sermon without using the stock theological labels. It is the first sermon in the series and it's covert because too many of our listens will shut down their receptors when they hear the words "Calvinism."

    Last week we listened to a story, a parable, that Jesus told about a Pharisee and a tax collector. Here is what he said: “To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: 10 "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a ...read more
