     | 2,926 views

    Have you ever wondered if Christ's death had an impact on Barabbas? He knew that Jesus had taken his place on the cross.

    And so this is how it would end, it wasn’t what he expected at all. On Friday he had watched as they crucified the carpenter and he walked free. And that is how it should have ended, a happy ending for him, a not so happy ending for Jesus of Nazareth, the carpenter who almost became ...read more

    The Truth Of The Word

     | 4,304 views

    God intended for His Word to be spoken with authority. It must not be taken lightly. It must be approached as if it contained all the power of the universe, which it does.

    I believe that many people are, without realizing it, shaping their relationship with God based on excuses. Lack of time is our most popular excuse. Lack of comprehension is a close second. People say to me, “Time is a problem, for sure, but my real problem with the Bible is that I just ...read more

    Diligence is a virtue but when God is taken out of the picture, it becomes a liability characterized by vanity, sorrow, hard labour, restlessness, failure and poverty

    Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. Ps 127:1-2 Biblical Facts: 1. At every given ...read more

    All Christian churches baptize believers and sometimes it is taken for granted. But, is there a Biblical warrant for believer baptism? Is there a Biblical warrant for infant baptism?

    This message is taken from the Sermon on the Mount and looks at four sets of two choices given by Jesus as to where we'll spend eternity.

    Sermon on the Mount “There Are Only Two” Matthew 7:13-14 We all prefer to be given choices and the more choices we have the better we like it. But there are limits, which is evident when looking up and down the grocery aisle. • First you have the cereal aisle. You have at least ...read more

    Sometimes we take life much too seriously. Life is to be taken seriously, but some folks are so serious they can not enjoy life.

    If we are going to enjoy life, we have to have a sense of humor. God has a sense of humor. I know some folks have the idea that God sits up in heaven and never cracks a smile. But I do not believe that, I sincerely believe God looks down upon what He has created and has the same kind of joy ...read more
