     | 1,427 views

    More than 5,000 years ago, God promised the Israelites a homeland – it was already occupied by the Palestinians and the Canaanites. And to get there in one piece would be a dream and a miracle if they were successful.

We all saw the news stories—the DESTRUCTION, the DEATH TOLL, the HUMAN AGONY and MISERY. Hurricane Katrina is the COSTLIEST natural ...read more

    Why would God choose to send such a perfect gift in such a dull package? In a world impressed with pedigree, popularity and pomp and circumstance, Jesus was born in a stable with a manger for his bed. Yet, the angel sang the message we were all needing to hear

    Sermon: The Suffering Savior Scripture Isaiah 53:1-12 “Who has believed our message?

     | 1,571 views

    Do you ever wonder why many Christians don't seem so different from the world? There is a difference between true believers who follow after Jesus and Luke warm, name, only Christians who are just floating through this world, and using Christianity as a crutch.

    Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV-BRG) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and ...read more

     | 1,155 views

    Though the world may persecute us, and evil may seem to prevail, we must still work for Christ. The Church must shine for Him. We must preach and demonstrate the gospel, for without us, how will the world know Christ?

We have digital clocks in our car and alarm clocks on our nightstands. Lots of people keep a Day-Timer nearby so they can keep track of their appointments and ...read more

     | 4,187 views

    The call to work out our salvation with fear and trembling is not an exercise of futility but one that is not only attainable but an expectation from the Lord because He is the one who works in us to will and act to fulfill His purpose!
