     | 4,255 views

    A message about how God has taken from captivity and made us His children, children of the King!

    These verses we read, give us the most conspicuous and magnificent of the dogmatic utterances in the New Testament! We see the great sweep of Christ's life from eternity past to eternity future… and we are admitted to the breathtaking purposes of God in our human salvation!

    Open your bibles with me to Philippians chapter 2 verses 5-11! Thank you, you may be seated. These verses bring us near to the core of the early Christian faith and early Christian preaching… these verses most certainly are distinctive as they relate to the articles of our Christian Creed, the ...read more

    A Cry From The Heart Series

    This psalm is an example of an “imprecatory prayer,” as it contains brutal honesty and an earnest call for God to bring His justice to bear on the wicked.

    A Cry from the Heart As many of you know, I like to begin my sermons with humor, often at my own expense. This morning as we come to Psalm 10 in our series called, “Praying Through the Psalms,” I must confess that I can’t find anything very comical about this cry from the heart. Last week we ...read more
