    So many times we struggle to be totally there for God, family and friends. Learn how to really be there in 2008.

    Begin at verse 1 - Verse 9: “I am the door” - what did he mean by that?

    We can sense in the strength of this one famous statement that Joshua was a man who knew who he was, who knew what he believed, and who was willing to live in such a way as to back up his words with his actions.

    INTRO: Why do we admire Joshua? Why has this moment in time been immortalized, serving as an inspiration to so many people down through the years? Why does it still touch some place deep inside our hearts when we hear those famous words, "As for me & my house…?" The reason this phrase is so well ...read more

    The ultimate judge of a person’s character is their ability to exceed expectations with little recognition from others or when praise is not given. The Bible is filled with unsung heroes of the faith whose names may be obscure to us but to God they are His heroes of the faith.

    Unity in the body of Christ is something that is not always easy to come by. This sermon addresses the need for unity and forgiveness to all. I hope you find it useful... It has not been edited so correct the mistakes

    Unity and Purpose for all Ephesians 1:1-6 One of the most powerful statements that I ever heard was that the Church is always destroyed from the inside and not the outside.
