    God hides himself from the arrogant and reveals himself to the humble, childlike people who love him.

    Imagine that you hear the roar of a car engine outside your door. As you look out, you see a red sports convertible, and in it is a young man with flowing hair and mirrored sunglasses. You can see that he is well tanned because he doesn’t have a shirt on — just shorts and flip flops. ...read more

    The Greatest Thing Mark 12:28-34 28 One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?" 29 "The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the ...read more

    There is one thing that based on what’s going on in your life that if you could figure it out and do it, it would leave you in a much better place a year from now.

    So you could go home now. We’ve kind of got it all set up for you. You know what to do. Hey thanks for being here. One of the things I struggle with at the beginning of every year is how long do you say Happy New Year. I tend to go into like February so I’m just going to try and say it ...read more

    It’s interesting to try to narrow things down to one. When you do that you are identifying the most significant thing. We see this principle applied in scripture. Let’s look at some of these incidents and see what we can learn from them.

    ONE THING If you could have only one thing in the world what would it be? If you could only go one place where would you go? What about if there was only one thing standing in the way of you accomplishing something. It’s interesting to try to narrow things down to one. When you do that you ...read more

    What is the key to 2 Corinthians 4:15. You have to go back to verse six and an old testament story to get the full picture and impact to see the power of this promise.

    There is no such thing as free will.

    There is no such thing as free will. When Adam was created he had freedom of choice. But after the fall, man's will became the slave of sin! According to the Bible we were the enemies of God!
