    OPEN: The story of Zacchaeus only occurs in the Gospel of Luke. It seems to me that its possible that, as Luke interviewed people for his Gospel, he may have spoken with Zacchaeus - and the man’s story stood out to him.

    Why is there so much emphasis on the blood of Jesus in the Bible? What difference does it make that Jesus died on the cross and then rose from the grave?

    OPEN: As I was working on today’s sermon I was looking at some old Gospel hymns and I was pleasantly surprised at the # of hymns that - mentioned the blood of Christ.

    based on 6 ratings
     | 14,326 views

    The cancel culture has swept our nation... and destroyed lives, careers and futures. But the actions of those of the cancel culture are as old as history. They cancelled Abel, and the prophets... and they even cancelled Jesus. Or at least they thought they had.

    OPEN: There is a phenomenon that is quickly sweeping through our country that’s called the “Cancel Culture.” It’s a mindset that demands that if anyone says or does something that someone else finds offensive, THAT PERSON must be silenced and destroyed. As a result people have lost their jobs, ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 16,500 views

    Why should I be careful of the company I keep? Should I avoid the company of sinners, and mockers and the immoral? And if I do this (avoid sinners) how can I carry the message of Christ to the lost?

    (Poem) “All the water in the world - however hard it tried, could never, never sink a ship… unless it got inside.
