     | 4,945 views

    The wise men represent us in God’s plan. They represent everyone who sets out in search of a king and finds the son of God. They gave Jesus the most precious material gifts they had and each and every one of us can give him something even better-ourselves

    Today we celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany. We remember the visit of the three wise men, but we also remember that Jesus came into the world for everyone-Jews and Gentiles, rich and poor, upper class people and lower class people, humble shepherds and wise men and so on. It is also a happy ...read more

If the answer to either one or both of these questions is “yes”, then you can probably sympathize with the third slave on the Parable ...read more

    Stir up your gift and study!

    My son studied Kinesiology and double majored in sports medicine. So much for like father; like son. I consider sports to be a major waste of time.

    based on 34 ratings
     | 3,911 views

    A sermon on perceiving what is good and evil, and how that perception enables us to fulfill God’s call to "be good."

    July 18, 2004 Fruit of the SPIRIT is goodness. The fruit of the Spirit is goodness. This single statement of Scripture makes some people cringe today. Why?

    We should not be asking whose side God is on, but rather if we are on God’s side. God is the Almighty. God is the Creator. Jesus Christ is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords… the proper question is “am I on God’s side?”

    A WISE USE OF TIME. Ephesians 5:15-20.
