    Your life & mine are in the hands of God, & He keeps the clock! So let’s think about God’s perfect timing in the O.T., in the life of Jesus Christ, and in our lives, too.

Yet another New year, yet another opportunity to look at the blessings of the previous year and give thanks.

    A sermon on vision for a new year. This was written almost 10 years ago. Some of the illustrations may need to be update.

    The passage that I am using for a text is one that, when you hear it, will sound familiar to you. It is like Psalm 23, John 3 or 1 Corinthians 13 ... we wonder what more can be said about it. It is a passage that, if you are not familiar with Scripture, you will assume you read it in a magazine, or ...read more

    Jesus' testimony before Pilate spoke of the purpose of His coming. Though we speak of joy and peace in Christ, it is essential that He came to bring salvation. This He has done through presenting His life as a sacrifice. Those who believe are ushered into His Kingdom.

    “Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, ‘Are you the King of the Jews?’ Jesus answered, ‘Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?’ Pilate answered, ‘Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. ...read more
