    Today I want to preach on A SERMON I NEED TO HEAR. And I think probably everyone here also need to hear.

    Much of life is temporary, perishable, unsatisfying, and mundane. What we will dig into in these weeks as we focus on the Book of Ecclesiastes is how to live wisely when life is pretty much unsatisfying.

    Doubting Thomas

     | 9,242 views

    Thomas helps us to understand what Jesus was teaching His disciples during His post resurrection appearances. Those who loved him on the earth had to learn to live without the physical appearance of Christ - the actual seeing, touching, and hearing him.

    Doubting Thomas John 20:24-31 "Doubting Thomas." refers to one of the disciples of Jesus who is often associated with one word: doubting. He is seen as a natural pessimist, a man very liable to take the despondent hopeless view of the future and see the darker side of everything. . ...read more

    Message 1 in a series through James that helps us explore the relationship between faith and works in our lives. James was the half-brother of Jesus and the leader of the church in Jerusalem.

    Today, we’re starting a new series through the New Testament book of James called Faith & Works. I truly believe that you won’t find a more practical book in the entire Bible than James. Some of you may remember the For Dummies series of books that became popular 20-30 years ago and are still ...read more
