    Friend, allow God to move on your behalf; silence should be the ‘treasure’ that we need to possess!

    Does anyone really know what time it is? We, should make that into a song…oh that’s right, it already is a song [Chicago the band, 1969]. Does anyone really know the TRUTH? What is the TRUTH?

    A guy some 2000+ years ago asked another man, what is the TRUTH? Do you know who these two men were? Yes, it was Pontius Pilate and Jesus Christ, God as a man.

    Never underestimate the value of your supporting role. Leadership is a lonely road at best, it is better when you know someone has got your back! Cover your leaders when they are most vulnerable.

    Be Radical For Jesus! Or Other Radicals Will Fill The Void!

    Contributed by Kelly Durant on Apr 12, 2015
     | 4,092 views

    Too many radical people are rising up and attacking Christians! This is in part due to radical ideals sewn in the 1970s. Communism also plays a role. If we are not radical for Jesus then other radicals will take over.

    Be Radical for Jesus! Or Other Radicals Will Fill The Void! by Kelly Durant Acts 2:44-45 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, 45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. 2. The disciples of Jesus were ...read more

    This Psalm of Ascent has its focus on Israel and the constant persecution it endured. We look at the role churches played in this persecution (and Martin Luther). History must NOT be eradicated but we need to learn from it.

     | 4,573 views

    There is a real story of Christmas. To the Bible characters who played an important role on that first Christmas day, it was not necessarily all peace and joy and love. If we were to analyze carefully their situations, we will agree that theirs was a sad

    (This is an excerpt from my sermon compilation) Introduction It would be difficult to imagine Christmas without lights, good food; without new clothes, new shoes, new toys for the children, without parties; without merrymaking.

    This is a mini sermon used to exhort the congregation before the giving of tithes and offerings. It's designed to help them understand why Jesus' mission (saving souls) must be their mission and the role giving plays in accomplishing it.
