    Talents (Gifts) are not the root but the fruit of our salvation. God has given us gifts, so we can be useful in His kingdom. There are no excuses for not being fruitful.

    Leadership In the Church Text: Matthew 25: 14-30 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. 15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ...read more

    Running to win only makes sense if you’re chasing the right prize

    Do you not know that in a race the runners all compete, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win it. Athletes exercise self-control in all things; they do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable one. So I do not run aimlessly, nor do I box as though ...read more

    Face to Face with God (Ex. 33:7-23) Moses was and still is a very interesting character in the bible.

    The BIBLICAL interpretation of Rev 14 and Matthew 13

    The latter part of Chapter 14 reminds us of the harvest. When I read 14-20, I can’t help but think of Matthew 13. There are some similarities in the two. Look at Matthew 13:24-20. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed ...read more

    From the story of the Wise men that traveled afar, we today can learn key principles to how we should respond to the birth and life of Christ.

    Wise Men from Everywhere Matthew 2:11 Intro Wise men from the East, came to worship the Christ child. How far had they traveled? How had these men seen the star in the East?

    First Sunday of Advent in this series: Anticipation and expectation for a wonderful & worshipful Christmas sets the stage for a different type of season.

    John Calvin, the Reformer most responsible for what we know as Presbyterianism, disliked statues, artwork, icons and the like which were used in Catholic worship in the 1500’s.
