    As Christians we should follow His example. In this sermon I share several things I believe we should do as Christians to "Be Like Christ."

    Read Scripture Acts 11:19-26 I want us to think about that last sentence for a few minutes this morning. The Disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. Those who called themselves believers and considered themselves to be His disciples were referred to as Christians. Some scholars ...read more

    All parts of the law which have not been fulfilled are as equally binding and applicable today as they were for the nation of Israel. The law was never meant to save—it was meant to be a schoolmaster, showing people their ineptitude before a holy God. T

    Five principles about interpreting Scripture, especially prophetic passages.

    As an evangelical Christian, I have a high view of the authority of Scripture. I do believe the Bible is God’s Word to us. It is revelation from God in human words, not merely human ideas about God. That is why it is authoritative. In the language of 2 Timothy 3:15-17, the Bible is “…the ...read more

    Considers the vital role of God’s Word in our lives, what it would be like if there were not Bible, and what it is like to ignore it.

    Intro – Some of you watched “It’s a Wonderful Life” in the past couple of weeks. Sure enough, just like last year, George Bailey wished he’d never been born, and he got to see what the world would have been like if he had never existed. It was just a little over a year ago, I asked everyone to ...read more

     | 6,125 views

    A little play on words here, but with a serious intent. The message encourages us to gain victories over the flesh, so that our Spirit man can flourish in the Lord, and gain strength; while our flesh "loses weight"!

    Stand & Read - 1 Cor. 3:1-7 “And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to babes in Christ. [2] I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, [3] for you are still fleshly. ...read more
