    When you understand God’s mercy and the wonders of salvation, when you are overwhelmed by Who God is, this should make you consider surrendering Your life to Him.

    When you feel you are the only one who's wrong in the crowd of acceptable people, see how faith teaches us to find a shred of dignity in reaching out for help, and how complete faith gives us wholeness despite our past.

    This message is dedicated to the memory of my deceased great-aunt, Adelia Miller. Aunt Dedie loved to tell how, when she was a little girl going to the Sunday School at the Cloverport Baptist Church in Breckenridge County, Kentucky, the pastor had all the children in Sunday School one day.

    This sermon demonstrates how god still accepted us even though "Once Upon A Time" we use to be whoremongers, theives, liers, homosexuals, drunks, etc. He still gave us a chance to repent of our sins and to come back to Him.

The idea of “To Tell the Truth” is that three people come out, and they all stand and give a name – the same name. Then someone reads a few sentences about the person who actually has ...read more
