    Many people are looking for the perfect church - yet they don’t have a clue where to find it. These three verses from Colossians give us a snapshot of the perfect church - and it might be the church your at.

    The Perfect Church Colossians 3:12-14 In my time in ministry, I have heard more than once the statement, “If you find the perfect church don’t join it because it will no longer be perfect.” I’m not sure, but I have a suspicion that something was being hinted at in that statement. What do you ...read more

    Old wife’s tale, "The best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach." Used this principle to drive home some spiritual truths about fatherhood

    FATHER’S DAY SERMON IN A BAG As I wondered how to get through to our fathers this morning, an old wife’s tale came to mind, “The best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” I figured using this same principle might help in driving home some spiritual truths as well.

    Did Christ in fact descend into hell? This sermon examines the origin of the phrase "he descended into hell" in the Apostles’ Creed, possible biblical support for the phrase, and the biblical opposition to the descent of Christ into hell.

    The purpose of the church is to become: 1. A Faith-centered community. 2. A God-centered community 3. A World-centered community.

    As I read Erwin McManus’ book on the church entitled An Unstoppable Force, I have to say I was hit hard by a statement near the beginning, where he said: “The indictment that we must receive is that the Christian faith as we express it is no longer seen as a viable spiritual option. Masses gave ...read more
