    This sermon looks at the issue of abortion and dispells many of the modern myths we have about abortion and reminds us of the forgiveness found in Jesus Christ.

    This morning we come to an issue that I believe to be one of the most crucial topics we have ever addressed here at this church...an issue that I myself am very passionate about yet an issue that to often the church has been willing to turn a blind eye to. Abortion. It’s an issue that divides ...read more

    What You See May Not Be The Truth Matthew 7:1-12 A while back, I read the very distressing account of an incident in the life of a young bachelor. He worked in an office where every year the boss gave each employee a turkey as a bonus for the holiday season. Of course, the bachelor could never ...read more

    This is my fourth sermon in the series and looks at how we are to be productive as we act as God's kingdom here.

    It seems strange to mix the sacred with the everyday, to describe the eternal with the ordinary, the infinite with the finite.
