    When it comes to being disciples we can fall into the trap of thinking that we have to be an upfront person otherwise we cannot be effective witnesses. The example of Andrew demonstrates that such is not the case.

    Message John 1:35-42 Andrew - Always on the Lookout Message Have you noticed that there are many “lists” available for living successfully in this world? • Here are the 12 steps for those who are struggling with debt. • Recently I was emailed a list of “36 habits to reduce stress”. • Then there ...read more

    A look at the issue of forgiving others through the example of David and King Saul. David had every right to kill Saul, instead he trusted God to deal fairly with him.

    Using Zacchaeus as an example, this sermon shows that no matter what our past, we are lovingly accepted by Jesus Christ as His own. Sermon based upon a sermon by Lee Stroebel.

Because of this, you’ll find yourself looking around and comparing yourself to other people. In our society we tend to base our self-worth on four things: 1 - We judge our worth first ...read more

But because David was a warrior who had shed blood God would not allow him to build the temple. Instead David’s son, Solomon would have that privilege. Although David would not ...read more
