    This sermon looks at Jesus’ first miracle to show us that better things lie ahead of those who believe in Jesus.

This past Monday, ...read more

    The great hope of the Church is that Christ will come and rapture us to heaven before death intervenes. However, if death comes first, then we shall be resurrected and given glorified bodies like Jesus on the day He does return.

    Two principal questions find answers in our text. First who is this promised King? And second, what kind of King is he?

    In our lives we have many commitments, but our first and most immediate commitment is to the First and the Last.

    First and Last Revelation 1:4-8 Jesus said the last will be first and the first, last. This has made for a great rush for the end of the line. Everyone wants to be first, therefore, they claim the last position ... right? Wishful thinking. People still don’t want to wait and don’t like to wait. ...read more

    Life is full of chaos but God is in control

    Chaos is a state that most people don’t like to live in. Chaos and its cousins: confusion, disorder, mess, clutter, muddle, anarchy, and pandemonium are never welcome in my life.
