    “Yet I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have HATED, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals’” (Malachi 1:2-3 NIV - emphasis mine)

    The Bible is very clear that God’s essence is love (1 John 4:7-10). He has always been love, even before He created the first human beings. He has always sought to have a close relationship with them because they were made for this love. The entire story of humanity is wrapped up within it. Love is ...read more

    Why Should Believers Get Along? Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,172 views

    We have seen where spiritual transformation will make us like Christ, even to other believers. But why should we place so much emphasis on believers getting along with each other?

    WHY SHOULD BELIEVERS GET ALONG? Romans 15:1-7 I. Discipleship Demands It (vs. 1-2) A. An Obligation 1. ‘Ought’ is the past tense of ‘owe’ in Old English. Both words have the spiritual pronunciation. 2. The HCSB renders this “we have an obligation”. 3. It is not something we ‘should’ do; it is ...read more

    With all the emphasis on angels during the Christmas season, we need to sort out what the Bible says about what angels are, what angels do, and what part they play in the Christmas story.

    Please hear these words from Luke 1:26-38 26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed[a] to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, ...read more

    This is the third of a three part sermon series I preached during our Month of Missions emphasis. In this particular sermon we considered how the son represents those who willingly and knowingly wander away from God.

    It all started in a small 2nd story room in Jerusalem on the Jewish feast of Pentecost. “They were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues.” In those few words, we find the unique emphasis of our church.

    The Empowering Experience of the Spirit Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church, writes; “mention the power of the Holy Spirit and most people think of miraculous demonstrations and intense emotions. Most of the time the power of the Holy Spirit is released in your life in quiet, unassuming ...read more
