    This is our second study in this series. God describes our problem, how we got there and what it does to us. Once we begin to understand the problem and how devastating it is, perhaps we will begin to appreciate the solution.

    We came from God. We were made to be like God. (As we studied last week). So, what is the problem? Genesis, again, holds the answer. Chapter 3 tells the story. Everything God made was good, very good. But then things change. There was this tree and this serpent. God had put Adam and Eve in a ...read more

    Can I Be Bold When Sharing My Faith In Jesus With Others?

    Boldness in ’evangelism’ comes through being filled with God’s Holy Spirit. That’s how we can be bold when sharing our faith with others.

    I love getting into conversations where people ask me what I do. When I’m dressed in a tee-shirt and jeans the challenge for me is how to say what I do without it being a conversation stopper! It seems to me that there are a few jobs which can act as conversation stoppers, and it wouldn’t surprise ...read more

    Our decision to share our faith can be built on shifting sands, or solid rock.

    I’ve met folks who think that if Jesus walked among us today like he did back in Galilee, we’d be so much better off in our Christianity. How could we ignore him, they ask, if he was right here in front of us? Judging from the people who were right in front of him a couple thousand years ago, it ...read more
