    There are times when people for one reason or another may drift back to where they were before when they were awakened spiritually.

    PETER, REINSTATED John 21:1-19 This past Sunday, I saw a movie called “Awakenings”. It was based on a true story of the work of Dr. Sayer.

Jesus was crucified in a very public place, which means many people saw what was taking place. Where do you think you would have fit in that day based on what you think about ...read more

    Both Eve and Jesus were tempted just as we are. They were tempted by Satan, who used the three root sins.

    There are many sins, but they all come from three “root sins”…three heart problems. All that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 1John 2:16 Three Root Sins —the lust of the flesh —the lust of the ...read more

    Life is like a dance. The moment you were conceived and as you were growing in your mother’s womb you move your limbs, rhythmically in synchronicity with the other parts of your body—you were dancing.

    Life is like a dance. In a dance, we have to learn the basic steps before being considered a good dancer. Learning to dance does not happen overnight. We learn it step by step. So is life. The moment we came out of our mother’s womb we learn to dance. We start learning the basics of life. We start ...read more
