    I was asked to give a short message to a group of people.

    Ephesians 2:4-5 4 But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, 5 that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!) ILLUSTRATION: *This isn't my dream or vision ...read more

    In this message I want to note briefly several (though not all) worldviews that confront Christians today.

    Scripture For the past few weeks we have been studying Romans 12:1-2. In Romans 12 the Apostle Paul begins applying the doctrine that he has been teaching for the previous 11 chapters. Now, it is not that he has made no application in the previous 11 chapters; he has. However, as he begins chapter ...read more

    Six groups or individuals think they can "handle" Jesus. Their reactions are similar to ours when we encounter the truth of Jesus Christ. Which group are you in?

    The time for Jesus teaching is over. Now is the time for others to act on the truth that He revealed. Six groups of individuals try to handle Jesus in one way or another. Chapter 18 is about the arrest and trial of Jesus. The time for talking has almost ended, the time for action is here. This is ...read more

    Writing Off The Future

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 15, 2014

    Teaching Christian values without bringing our children to faith in the Risen Son of God, condemns them to eternal death. The Pharisees stand as a beacon warning Christians not to succumb to the lure of presenting Christian values.

    “Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, ‘The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat, so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people’s ...read more

    It turns out that very little of The Da Vinci Code is based on history. This sermon examines only two issues: (1) The Truth about the Scriptures, and (2) The Truth about Jesus’ Deity.

    Scripture Dan Brown’s novel, The Da Vinci Code, has sold some 43 million copies, making it the biggest-selling adult novel in history.
