     | 7,448 views

    In our Scriptures today, we see two encounters, which lead to making disciples. This encounter and Jesus’ ministry to such folks teaches us that lost people matter to God. All of us are surrounded by people far from God

    Building Relationships Luke 15:1-10 and Acts 8:26-40 In our Scriptures today, we see two encounters, which lead to making disciples. The first is when Jesus has a group of tax collectors and sinners who have gathered to hear him talk. Tax collectors were some of the most hated people in ...read more

    In today's sermon we see that though Christians encounter opposition, they also experience assurance.

    Introduction The past few Sundays we have been exploring Christianity by looking primarily at the Gospel of Mark. I have asserted that the heart of Christianity is a person—Jesus of Nazareth. To that end we have answered three questions: 1. Who is Jesus? 2. Why did Jesus come? 3. What does ...read more

    This message describes some of the enemies which we encounter and ultimately must defeat.

    The Bible describes the followers of Christ as being in a battle, a war, a race, and a walk. In over 4,000 years this world has known only 268 years of peace. (1) Christianity Is A Fight (A) Not a fight with one another: but against the powers of satan. (2Cor.10:4) "For the weapons of our warfare ...read more

    Listen to what the Scriptures say. Wise men from the East came seeking for Jesus. • Through the study of the stars and the revelation of the Holy Spirit, they were enlightened to know that the Messiah, King of the Jews was born, in Israel. • They came seeking and inquiring, and was told to go to ...read more
