    Sermon for the 1st Sunday after Epiphany, exploring the Baptism of Jesus with reference to the visit of the Magi, and God’s ongoing revelation of His will in Jesus and His desire for peace, justice and hope: a revelation made possible only through repenta

    Mark 1:4-11 A New Year – a New Start So, here we are at the start of a New Year!

    Man’s hope is usually built on what we expect, want, or desire to happen. But the Bible never allows the Child of God to build our hope on the likes of Man, but we are allowed to build our hope on the immutability of God Himself.

    THE HOPE OF CHRISTMAS Isaiah 9:6, 7 Isaiah 9:6,7 is a prophecy of the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ. At the time Isaiah prophesied these words only darkness, gloom, and despair appeared to lay in store for the Nation of Israel. Darkness as black as night prevailed upon the land through the sin of ...read more

    This is a love story, pure and simple. It is not a cheap love story like we see portrayed in the soap operas everyday. This account is a deep heart-felt love that is not infused with any physical desire that seems to be necessary in our day and age to q

    That The World May Hear Series

    based on 39 ratings
     | 22,501 views

    The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation to every one who believes. God desires that every person have an opportunity to respond to the gospel & call upon Him. Since Jesus Christ is Lord of all, the Gospel should be proclaimed to all.

    ROMANS 10: 13-17 THAT THE WORLD MAY HEAR [Romans 1:16-17] The preceding verses have been disproving that salvation is only for the Jews, or the chosen people. [The Scriptures have powerfully argued that eternal salvation is by faith in Christ and not by good works, heritage, or law keeping.] ...read more

    Liberty provides us freedom. Freedom allows us to excel, to take risks, to achieve great things for God. Often though, we want to try and extend the reach of our liberty in Christ, and in doing so, we actually lose liberty and place our self in the cont

     | 26,035 views

    The text concerns David’s desire to build a temple "house" for God, and God’s response that God will build David’s house. We often try to control God, but God is in control, not us.

    Who’s in control? David has come a long way from being a shepherd boy in Bethlehem and the youngest of 8 sons to being the king of Israel, who reunited the northern and southern Kingdoms, established the capital at Jerusalem, and moved the ark of the covenant into the city. He ...read more

    In this sermon I sought to be led of the Spirit to inspire the desire to have wisdom, and then contras hellish, and heavenly wisdom. Our churches need wise counsel, and the world needs to see the difference heavenly wisdom makes.

    WISE or UNWISE: James 3:13-18 {13} Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. {14} But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. (15} This ...read more
