    A sermon that discusses why most churches are failing in their walk with the Lord. We tend to walk about with a spirit of timidity rather than a spirit of boldness.

They were losing miserably and the opposing team was bigger, stronger, and more intimidating than they were. One of their players fumbled the ball, ...read more

    You better not rewrite it. The better you know it the better it is for you and those you impact.

    When I was training to be a Contract Specialist in South Carolina, my mentor, Art Nalley, always stressed one thing. “What does the contact say?’ That was second only to “Don’t worry about the mule going blind just load the wagon” when the workload was intense.

    I realized the triumphal entry, the crucifixion and the resurrection will mean very little if anything at all until we answer this question.

    “Does Church really Matter? Acts 9:18-30” Today we begin looking for Easter and many will be preparing for egg hunts and the like. Sermons are preached today about the triumphal entry as Jesus made His way into Jerusalem. The crucifixion will be the topic ...read more
