    From the very beginning of the ministry God has entrusted to me, I have been convinced that Jesus is the focal point of our faith, the reality of any real ministering. You see, in John 12:32 Jesus said, “If I be lifted up I will draw all men to myself.” J

    It seems most appropriate today, being my first time here, to establish common ground. To briefly talk to you about something that is near and dear to my heart, as well as yours would do us both good.

    Abiding in Christ transforms our weariness into fruitful living, as we rest in His love, receive His care, and reflect His life to others.

    Church family, welcome. If your soul feels like a branch after a long summer—tired, tangled, and thirsty—listen in. The Lord is kind, and His words today carry the weight of mercy.

    Money is perhaps the most powerful tool, other than our tongue, that God has given to us to use for furthering His mission here on earth.

    George or Jesus? Money – one of our greatest treasures. We can’t do with it and we can’t do without it.

    A sermon that considers Jesus as he is described in Hebrews chapter 1 rising out of what it say in Hebrews chapter 12 and verse 3 - "Consider Him."

    Consider Him. In Hebrews chapter 12 we read - 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. So many Christians today are weary and have lost heart. Why? Because they have not truly considered Jesus in his fullness. Chapter one of ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,132 views

    When Jesus taught, he did so in parables. Now this was not unique in Jesus’ day for most rabbis or teachers taught in parables. The Greek word for parable means “thrown along something else.” Parables are about comparisons.

    Jesus, the Teacher Mark 4:1-20 For the past several weeks, we’ve been looking at the Gospel of Mark through two questions: “Who is Jesus?” and “What meaning does he have for our lives?” We’ve learned that Jesus came to preach that the kingdom of God is near, he ...read more

    The world tries to stifle the name of Jesus. Why? Because that name opens the door to the supernatural. The Name of Jesus is the only name recognized on Earth, in Hell, and in Heaven. It has the power to save souls, heal bodies, and conquer demons!

    Jesus did not pray for us to have worldly joy but rather to have his joy. What does his joy look like and what can destroy it?

    We are now four weeks past Palm Sunday and three weeks past Easter. However, today I want us to go back to the last night Jesus had with the disciples. He washes their feet to teach them humility and servant hood. He begins to reveal to them the fact that He must die. He gives them the promise of ...read more
