    Defending The 10 Commandments

    Sadly Christianity has lost ground over the last 40 years! Why? The main reason…the 10 commandments have been aggressively attacked in America and reduced this country to a moronic and miniscule mindset of morals!

    “Defending The 10 Commandments” Exodus 20:1-17 Proverbs 4:7 “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. Notices that it says get “wisdom” and not “knowledge”. I believe that the application of knowledge by way of Biblical wisdom is paramount for the believer in today’s world! We live ...read more

    After preaching this sermon, 21 people came forward at invitation.

Most churches never communicate their vision, hence most elders are unfocused as to any unified vision at all. Each of our elders, however, had a vision and were pretty much in ...read more

    In James 5:13-16a, the brother of our Lord teaches us how the Christian ought to respond in times of trouble, happiness, sickness, and sin.

    Scripture James is the brother of our Lord Jesus. Since Jesus was Mary’s firstborn child (Luke 2:7), James was obviously a younger brother. In fact, it is likely that James was the second-oldest of the five sons that Mary had (cf. Mark 6:3). James eventually came to believe that Jesus was in fact ...read more

    Work - we’ll get God’s perspective on it - on why we do it and how we are to do it, and we’ll also talk about some of the practicalities of the kind of work that we do.

    WHO WORKS? Could you put your hand up please if you get paid to work? And those who don’t get paid - if you do housework, or some type of volunteer work? I would have thought that everyone would have their hand up because everyone works. Children have schoolwork, and homework. Almost everyone has ...read more
