     | 11,870 views

    What does the word “fellowship” bring to your mind? Do you think of coffee or fried chicken or church socials? Paul had a wonderful fellowship with the Philippian church that didn’t have anything to do with any of those.

    I love our times of fellowship, don’t you?

Those times are wonderful and I wouldn’t trade anything in the world ...read more

    Why Jesus? What makes Jesus unique is not only important to what we believe but it is at the heart of who we are as Christians. This sermon looks at the uniqueness of Jesus through four names associated with Jesus, names that Jesus either used of himself

    Why Jesus? Colossians 1:15-23 Who was Jesus video? Title Slide On the one hand we are part of a culture which has discredited Jesus and who he was. On the other hand, we live in a culture which has distorted and watered down the teachings of Jesus. We have been told that it doesn’t matter what you ...read more

    After praying for a message for 2016, I'm bringing a word to beware of pride as described for the most part in 2 Timothy 3:1 but using supporting texts also.

I've done so in the past and reckon I will do so again -in the future but this year is different, perhaps because the times we live in are different. But ...read more
