    THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT (part 17) Matthew 6:25-34 I did a sermon a couple of years ago titled, Be in the Now. It's about being in the moment. One of the points I made involved the extended version of the Serenity Prayer. In it, we see this line, "Living one day at a time, enjoying one ...read more

By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible." Hebrews ...read more
