    If you are a transformed and renewed Christian, how ought you to think about yourself? Soberly, neither too high nor too low; and as a servant of others.

    Introduction I start this week with a brief reminder of the theme of these last few chapters of Romans – putting our faith into practice, applying God’s will in our lives. To do this properly requires us NOT to let the world squeeze us into its shape, but to have our minds shaped by God Himself. ...read more

    Many people blindly follow their GPS and have no clue as to whether or not they are on the right road. Many self professing "Christians" are traveling the "broad way" and think they belong to Jesus, yet they missed the narrow road of true salvation.

    God’s Positioning System or GPS. Our current Sermon Series. First, a few weeks ago, we asked the question: "Do you know where you are?" Do we know your location? Not your position on Earth, but in relationship to God? After Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, God came walking through the ...read more

    Why is the narrow way the road less traveled? Because 1. It is difficult. 2. It is against the majority. 3. It includes persecution.

    Jesus said, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Matthew 7:13-14). (A spontneous skit can be done here. ...read more
