    What does it truly mean to praise the Lord and have we become so stoic, so self involved, so emotionally detached that we don't know how to truly worship the Lord anymore. In this message and Sermon Series we will be studying the reasons why God deserves our praise.

    INTRODUCTION: One Sunday Morning during a worship service a man began to be moved by the HS while the message was being spoken. Out loud he exclaimed “Amen!” to the preacher’s words. And around him people were a little disturbed and shocked. A little while later he said loudly, “Hallelujah!” Now a ...read more

    It is a sound Biblical principle that no on can come to the Jesus unless the Father draws him. How does the Father do that?

    Please open your Bibles to John 6:41-51 which we will read in a few minutes.

    This message looks at the actions of Mary as she breaks open the bottle of perfume and anoints Jesus during Holy Week. It challenges us to ask the question what can we do for Jesus that is beautiful?

    She hesitates in the doorway separating the two rooms. Through the opening she sees her sister Martha hard at work helping Simon’s wife prepare the evening meal in the kitchen. She listens to the laughter and conversation as it drifts through the house. She hears Simon make a joke at Peter’s ...read more

    We face decisions and make choices daily. Some are simple and insignificant, while others can have lasting implications. Jesus asked a fundamental question that has eternal implications. Whom do men say that I am?

    Who is Jesus? Mark 8: 27-30 As we continue to work our way through Mark’s gospel, again we come to an intimate moment with Jesus and His disciples. They have traveled from Bethsaida to Caesarea Philippi. It is here that Jesus asked a fundamental question – whom do men say that I am? Hearing the ...read more
