    To emphasize the importance of humility and faith in our relationship with God.

    Good morning, church family! Today, we’re going to delve into a powerful passage from the Gospel of Luke that really gets to the heart of what it means to be justified by faith alone, and the humility required of us as believers. I'm reminded of a quote by John Stott, a respected theologian, who ...read more

    I don’t think we serve a second rate God that is happy with our leftovers. If really believe that there is none like God, then there should be nothing like the commitments and sacrifices we are willing to make to please Him.

    Who really cares? NOT those who are full of fear, like Herod. But those who believe from the beginning and who give gifts for the future, like the wise men; and those who sacrifice to protect, like Joseph.

    Some people have friends. Some people have enemies. Most people have acquaintances. But everybody has people you do business with. The people you do business with -- usually, that’s not an intimate relationship. It’s distant, it’s limited to transactions. We deal with people who may not even ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,521 views

    The 1st century Christians rejected the use of manmade instruments of music in their worship to God. The reason they did so was the same reason why they rejected animal sacrifices and other elements of the old law. This sermon examines this in detail.

    Why New Testament Christians Reject the Use of Mechanical Instruments of Music There’s a general attitude building among the Lord’s church about mechanical instruments of music that tends to be a bit fuzzy. We are seeing a number of large congregations that are making a switch to ...read more

    We live in an age of convenience. There's nothing wrong with convenience per se. The danger is when we look for a Christianity of convenience rather than sacrifice and commitment. This sermon looks at "convenience Christianity" from several angles.
