    Mother's Day: Sometimes we feel that mothers are perfect. This message reveals a near-perfect mother. From Naomi, we see a mother’s strength, her love for her children, and we learn some things about a mother’s personality.

    As you already know, today is Mother’s Day. I would like to begin our message with a short story: A small boy invaded the lingerie section of a large department store and shyly presented his problem to a woman clerk. “I want to by a slip as a present for my mom,” he said, “but, I don’t know what ...read more

    In this scripture passage, I want to show you a family that lived among God’s people, and then due to some hard times, they packed up and moved.

    You might be saying, “So what!” People move from one city to another all the time because of HARD TIMES! That is correct, but anytime we find something in the Word of God, it is there for a reason. WHAT IS THE REASON GOD PUT THIS FAMILY IN THE SCRIPTURES FOR MOVING? Because it was a ...read more

    This sermon draws inspiration from the book of Ruth, encouraging believers to boldly step forward in their faith and deepen their relationship with Christ.

    Today, we sang a familiar invitation hymn called "Wherever He Leads I’ll Go." But I wonder, do we truly mean those words? Are we willing to follow Jesus wherever He may lead us?

    Isn’t it something that one of the most honored women in history, the mother of Jesus, the Savior, the Christ, carried a name that meant bitter?
