    I am by no means a perfect man . . . and I know I make mistakes . . . but I do everything I can possibly do to make sure that when I am preaching to you on any given topic, that I have the Word of GOD to back me up . . . With that in mind, I want to s

    Worship is a broad topic, so I’d like to look at it through the lens of the prophet Isaiah’s encounter with God before His heavenly throne as found in Isaiah 6:1-8. From this encounter, I’d like to share several aspects about worship that will change our lives and relationship with God.

     | 25,771 views

    “Grace” is such an abused topic in most churches today. It is not some celestial catch-all to allow us to mess up and then say “God’s grace covers me.” Personal responsibility has a place in Christianity. God’s grace makes our spiritual growth and “perfec

    Opening illustration: After a 4-year-old got into trouble at preschool, his mom asked him what he had done wrong. He explained, “I was angry with a playmate.

    How are we supposed to know when God is speaking to us? How do we know when we are hearing from God or it is an idea from our own brain? 1 Sam 3 has four essential truths of guidance for us in answering this very important topic of hearing God’s voice.

    Core 52 Week 21 - What Do I Do With My Money? Series

    Contributed by Lanny Smith on May 24, 2020
     | 1,966 views

    It's a common complaint about pastors and churches: "All they ever do is talk about money." The reality is we rarely talk specifically about money. Both Old & New Testaments have a LOT to say about money and possessions. Let's hear Jesus' heart for us on the topic of money.

    The Bible is the sacred book of the Judeo Christian Religion. It is divided into two divisions: The Old and New Testaments.
