    A sermon written in connection with the release of "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe", it focuses on the change that takes place in the children who visit Narnia and urges the hearers to be changed by Christ.

    Change, it seems, is an inevitable part of life. As a matter of fact, whether you want to or not, you have to experience change every day. Even though our routines may be the same day in, day out, the circumstances of each day change and make those routines new. Granted, not all changes are for ...read more

     | 8,179 views

    What does it mean to say that Jesus is the Second Person of the Trinity? What are some of the errors of understanding that have sometimes confused or deceived people?

    In the midst of his earthly ministry, Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” Jesus then asked them, “What about you? Who do you say that I am?” The gospels ...read more

    Let’s face it, following feelings instead of biblically informed faith fractures fellowship and destroys discipline. The Corinthian catastrophy has only one cure: Christ.

    You heard about the scientists who stopped using laboratory rats for certain experiments and began using preachers, didn’t you? The reason, they said, is because there are some things that even a rat won’t do. People do the most unbelievable things! I read a strange article in a news magazine: ...read more

    based on 27 ratings
     | 12,252 views

    Slightly sarcastic view of "the good old days". Like the scripture, this reminds people to live in the present, and not long for so-called better days of the past.

    Ecclesiastes 7:10 – The Good Old Days? Oh Please! Tonight, instead of looking at a major topic in Ecclesiastes, I am going to look at one verse. It’s a verse that speaks to all of us, no matter how old we are. 7:10. This verse is funny because it so much speaks to who we are, and what we ...read more

     | 7,146 views

    John writes about truth more then any other Biblical writer but what is the truth he writes about?

    It was a tough spot to be in, especially for a career politician who had based his entire life on compromise. On one hand he had the crowd to please and in the other hand he held the life of an innocent man. The story is a familiar one, Jesus has been arrested and hauled before Pontius Pilate ...read more

    Just as the Lord trained Naaman, so also he trains us to hold on to his promises by faith alone, so that we shine out with Christian love and Christ-centered confidence like the little Israelite slave girl did.

    Grace and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Word of God through which the Holy Spirit touches our hearts this morning is recorded in 2 Kings 5:1-14 Dear friends who hold on to Jesus, Cartoons at times will have a scene where someone, let’s says Wild E.
