     | 767 views

    Today I want to speak to you about the three crosses. Most of the time we only focus on the one cross and rightly so, because it is the cross that represents redemption, but we need to remember that there were three crosses.

     | 9,691 views

    It's essential in every situation and circumstance to deliberately refocus our attention solely on God who is able to keep us from falling and cause us to triumph in Christ.

    Many times we become blindsided. We are caught without warning. We've been exposed to the unexpected ugliness of humanity which we did not care to see. We have uncertainty, doubts and fears. Many times we have wavered and slowed down and come to a standstill. We have looked around in uncertainty ...read more

    How did the world get in such a mess? Where does the evil found in our society find its roots? The answer is not mental insanity, but original sin.

    Joy In The Midst Of Heaviness Series

     | 165 views

    This sermon explains the Christian paradox of experiencing profound joy—rooted in our eternal salvation—while simultaneously enduring temporary and purposeful seasons of sorrow and trials.

    Introduction: A Heavenly Paradox To the world, joy and sorrow are opposites. They are like oil and water; they cannot mix. You are either happy, or you are sad. The presence of one means the absence of the other. The goal of modern life, it seems, is to construct a life so comfortable, so ...read more
