    Things don’t always go as expected. Joseph found it out, and so have you. What do I do when life seemingly takes a wrong turn and I need a miracle?

    For Horace Walpole life had taken a wrong turn somewhere along his journey. Life had become drab and dreary, just an existence.

    This section of John’s gospel closes with the resounding climax of Jesus’ claim to be eternal deity. Jesus had been given glory by the Father, but He would receive none from those who did not know or listen to the Father.

    JOHN 8: 48-59 JESUS THE ETERNAL ONE [Mark 3:22 – 27] This section of John’s gospel closes with the resounding climax of Jesus’ claim to be eternal deity. Jesus already has made numerous absolute claims. For example: He is the Word of God, the Living ...read more

    67th and final message from Ephesians. Only those who have an undying love for Jesus get His peace, love and grace.

    About two years ago, God began to convict me about the need to build some more spiritual depth into my own life as well as into the life of all of us together as a body. So nearly two years ago, on January 7, 2007 we embarked together on a verse-by-verse journey through Paul’s letter to the ...read more

    Jesus has the power to heal us from every physical and mental disease. But he doesn't always use that power. Often, what we need more is to be healed from our spiritual blindness.

When I opened my email, there was a pleasant surprise waiting for me. A woman from our congregation wrote me with some very good news. The ...read more

    This is the final sermon in a series for Adven, Christmas, and Ephphany based on the Names of Jesus from Isaiah 9:6. As our Messiah, He is the source and giver of both personal and of world peace.

    While Jesus was still alive, Joseph did nothing for Jesus. However, at the right time, when he only had three hours before the Sabbath, he could take care of Jesus’ body.

    The story of Jesus’ death and burial that we will discuss today is recorded in all four Gospels. This shows the significance of this event. Let’s read Mark 15:33-47. Verse 33 – “At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.” Jesus was crucified at nine in the morning. ...read more
