    Religious excitement does not necessarily translate into spiritual worship. Rather, the one following Jesus must guard against being turned aside by that which appears good. Remember that good is enemy of the best.

    When Jesus spoke the parable about old wine in a new wineskin he was speaking about more than an old religious system in His time. More importantly He's got something to say about wineskins today!

    I was reminded this week about the power and influence a person’s testimony can have on others, religious or not. Saints where are our stories of faith? Where are our testimonies to the power of Jesus name? Have our voices become muted to the truth?

    Acts 4:1-22 Undeniable Jesus Message: Oscar Wilde has been attributed with the phrase “no good deed goes unpunished”. The phrase suggest that in order to accomplish a truly good deed one has to suffer bad consequences in order to see a good outcome. Much of Christian ministry is like this. We ...read more

    There are many different views in the religious world about who/what the Holy Spirit is. Some believe the Holy Spirit is an impersonal force while others believe He is a personal being and God. What do the scriptures say?

This series could very easily be expanded into 15-20 lessons, if not more. I pray that these lessons will ...read more

    Superheroes have captured Americans’ imagination for a long time. We all know the saying, “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no, it’s Superman!” It’s not an angel coming. It’s not a prophet coming. It’s the Lord Himself coming. “It’s a prophet. It’s an angel. No, it’s the Lord.”

    I invite you to find the book of Malachi with me if you will [page 954 in your pew Bibles]. Today’s Scripture You have wearied the LORD with your words.
