    The proper response to mourning over the reality of suffering, and the key to meekness, is not conquering desire, but learning to desire the right things.

    How many of you are planning to watch a football game today? How many of you are mourning the defeat of the Packers??? Anybody care about the fate of the Titans? Have you since switched your allegiance to the Rams or the Bengals? Now, who’s not going to watch anything? Who doesn’t much care one ...read more

    God’s interest isn’t limited to whether or not you are swearing falsely. God’s interest is in whether or not you are speaking falsely.

At least we’re no longer right in the middle of actual accusations of perjury... but the question of truth vs. political advantage ...read more

    Jesus was born to be our savior. But what does that mean, and what difference can that make in our lives?

    There was a Christian who gave a Bible to somebody who was going through a rough time. Their life had been one disaster after the other, but in all that time there was never really made an effort to follow Jesus. So, as this Christian gave a Bible to the man… he encouraged him to read it, and he ...read more

     | 1,019 views

    In the previous sermon, the Chief priests, lay leaders, and the Sadducees came to the Lord with some questions.

    They did not come wanting to know what the scriptures taught, they came using the scriptures as a means of trying to trap the Lord Jesus. But the Lord said to them in verse 24, “…Do you not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?” A lot of folks think they ...read more

    Jesus On Adultery And Lust

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 10, 2024
     | 1,206 views

    Jesus teaches on lust. It isn't something preachers generally like to speak about but it's really important. Jesus shows how God's commandment on adultery needs to be practised and he tells us how we can do it.

    Western society is completely comfortable talking about sex. Most people think a lot about sex. Especially men. The Bible talks a lot about sex too. Most preachers, however, do not like to talk about sex. When preachers preach on the Sermon on the Mount, they talk about the Beatitudes. There ...read more

    I want to wish each of you a HAPPY NEW YEAR! But my wishing you a HAPPY NEW YEAR is not a gurantee that you will have one.

    What will guarantee you a HAPPY NEW YEAR is the things I want to share with you from God’s Word.
