This happened several nights, until he finally went down another road.” 1. we have just finished Revelation, which showed us very clearly the consequences of our choices and ...read more

    Let’s not be rash in making promises, or make them for the wrong reason. But, when we make promises, we must fulfill our vows.

    PROMISE KEEPERS By Pastor Jim May It is ever good to break a promise? We all know that people have the “right” to "change their minds" from time to time.

    In the a downturn we may need to check the map carefully and find out where we really are and find that there are more reasons to rejoice than we know.

    Sometimes it helps to check the map. The people of the ancient Roman city of Herculaneum lived at the bottom of a mountain. They loved the mountain, because they believed it was a place where gods dwelt. The land was fertile, and the harbor was good, so the city prospered and grew. Then in 62 and ...read more

    Explaining how many American Christians are like the church of Laodicea, unfocused and with the wrong motives and reasons. (Audio will be placed at www.sermonlist.com/2007.html)

    Christians talk a lot about prayer, and whenever we hear that something bad has happened to someone we know, the first thing we do is go into prayer.
