     | 26,526 views

    In a world that is hostile to the message of Jesus, do we dare to stand for him whatever the cost?

Without this conviction you will be swayed by persuasive argument to give up your position, or at least to see ...read more

    I recall a few weeks back I was trying to get into the mindset of Christmas, so I was watching old Christmas cartoons from the mid 1900s. A fair amount of it was oddly poisonous to my spirit. It was not edifying or encouraging to my inner man. It was a lot of self focused desire for stuff, a lot ...read more

    This sermon is about being prepared for the coming of Jesus Christ.

    This is a very familiar story in the gospel according to Matthew. Here we find Jesus using a parable to show us how the kingdom of heaven shall be. We need to realize that there are some key points that we can use in our present situation from this parable. We have to understand that we are living ...read more

And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see Him with my own eyes - I, ...read more
