    There can be no doubt about the sort of mind the Christian should have. Christ-like motives, attitudes, thoughts, purpose and priorities can only prevail in a Christ-like mind.

    The Mind Of Christ Philippians 2:5-13 "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus; Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And ...read more

    Like the Gospel writer Luke, as Christians pray and offer whatever they are doing for Jesus Christ, God will use them for His glorious purposes!

    Like the Israelites, too often we grumble about our lot in life. May the Lord lead us to repentance...and thankfulness!

    Lent IV Numbers 21:4-9 “Are we there yet? How much longer?” Anyone who has ever taken a long car journey with children has heard those questions.

    The law of gleaning demonstrates God's provision for the poor who are required to make a diligent effort as opposed to the welfare system that exist in our day.

    We prefer full over empty! Jesus says He came that we might have abundant (full) life. Do we? Do we even know what we should be full of?

    Full Pt. 3 - Purpose Full I. Introduction Are you full? If so, what are you full of? Your "fullness" will determine what overflows to every area of your life. And yet the truth is that if we find ourselves closer to the "e" than the "f" we are in the majority. In a recent study of 1,000 churches ...read more

When we speak of women being barren in the Bible, it is usually in reference to a woman being childless. However, the word ...read more

    To live effective lives as Jesus’ disciples we need to pray.

    I’ve preached on prayer many times and I’ve tried to do it in such a way that you will be able to easily remember how to pray and to be motivated to pray.
