    Before I start this message I have to obey the Lord, he told me to prophesy: somebody listening to this message is going to go from a Zero to a Hero, you’re going to go from the underdog to the wonder dog. You’re going from the Wimp to the Warrior, from the worrier to the worshiper, from the ...read more

    What was the most valuable gift that was given in the story of the wise men? And what can we learn from the gifts that were given?

To compensate for this, I included 3 Christmas carols/hymns in the sermon). OPEN: Someone sent an e-mail that made a list of Christmas Signs they’d seen in their ...read more

    Easter - The Reality Of The Resurrection

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Apr 2, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,158 views

This was the promised fulfillment of God's plan of redemption and restoration. Finally the walls of separation were ...read more

    Death is not the end; when Christ’s trumpet sounds, God’s love and power will open every grave and restore life.

    A passerby, unwilling to let the rhyme have the last word, pulled out a black marker and added: > To follow you, I’m not content, until I know just where you went. That small dialogue between chisel and marker captures the universal question. Everyone who has ever wandered through a graveyard ...read more
