    You can sin and think God has forgotten all about it, but someday you’ll be forced to “meet them again” and pay the price He demands.

    MEETING OUR SINS AGAIN Genesis 42:21 INTRO: Many people today have reversed their thinking about God. Once they thought of Him as almighty and just, a God who punished sin. But not all people feel that way today. God is looked upon as a soft and sentimental old grandfather, a Santa Claus ready to ...read more

    If you have dedicated yourself the following Christ, to live as Jesus lived and do what Jesus did, he will never let you go. Remember, God is reaching down to us. When we reach back up and grasp his hand, he’s the one doing the holding.

    In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Our Gospel reading today begins by mentioning the “Feast of the Dedication” which took place in Jerusalem. We don’t hear too much about the Feast of the Dedication. It’s also known as the Festival of Lights, or Hanukah. In ...read more

    There was no way that this group of men would ever be in the same room together, if not for Jesus. He calls us to love the people who do us wrong.

    In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Love one another. That’s a pretty tall order that Jesus left his apostles to carry out. We tend to think the loving one another is pretty easy, especially when we include a cut-off line. We love people like ourselves, and ...read more

    Why do Christians wear a cross? What is its meaning to the church? In this message we are going to look at 4 images that will help us understand the place of the cross in the life of the believer.

    Illus. In Texas last week, an 18 year old man was arrested for wearing a noose in public. As Jewelry. Seems kind of morbid doesn’t it? A noose is an instrument of an agonizing death. It represents vigilante law, I would never be proud to wear a noose. What about an electric chair? Did you ...read more

    In order to create a passion for the Lord we may need to be open to change.

    I desire passion in my life especially when it comes to my relationship with God. I hope it is alright to admit there are times when I come to church and passion seems to be lacking. When I speak passion I mean a deep desire, a extreme excitement and a longing love. When Passion is lacking we ...read more
