    It is easy to correct others and give advice, but hard to correct ourselves.

    Self-correction – making the necessary corrections on the inside based on the Word of God. The greatest task the believer will ever have to do is to correct ourselves. Self correction makes us better witnesses for the Jesus Christ; enrich our lives in our home, church, fellowship with saints, and ...read more

    What is your attitude when you pray? Before Jesus tells us how to pray, He tells us how not to pray.

    “The highest activity of the human soul.” That’s what the great expository preacher Martyn Lloyd-Jones said about prayer. Prayer is one of the most important things we will ever do in our relationship with the Lord. It is so essential to who we are as Christians that one commentator compared it ...read more

    Confession is hard, but if we believe the bible, then confession is good news.

    1 John 1:9 “Confessions of the Heart” INTRODUCTION Are we basically good or basically bad? Hollywood religion is undecided.

    Is it crazy to pray?

    In this morning’s Old Testament Reading we heard about the Healing of Naaman - an event which happened nearly 3,000 years ago.

    The Way to Pray.

    The focus this month of March is prayer. Prayer is something which most Christians do without even thinking.

    Make a personal commitment to pray. We are called to pray to strengthen our relationship with Christ and to pray for others, who are broken and weary. Make a personal commitment to be present in church.

    Your Personal Commitment Once there was a great story teller, who only had a fourth grade education. One of his favorite stories was about a chicken and a pig, who encountered a hungry man besides the road.
