    When we come to church, remember to get to the right focus - God, and get to the right agenda - prayer, communion with God.

    We are looking at a rare glimpse of Jesus today – His anger over something He is passionate about. It pays for us to take note. If it can drive Him to behave in such a way, it must be something we need to take note of today. The Temple was a good thing. God commanded the people of Israel to ...read more

    This sermon encourages self-examination, fulfilling our spiritual duties, and combating spiritual forgetfulness through the study of Revelation 3:14-18.

    Good morning, dear friends. It's a joy to gather with you once again as we open God's Word together. Today, we find ourselves in the book of Revelation, a book that often feels like a mystery to many of us. It's filled with images and symbols that can seem strange and even daunting.

    Christians are lovers. We are distinguished from the world by Who we love and the manner in which we reveal our love. Ours is a love which results from the love of God which is poured out into our lives.

    “O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.” [1] Karl Barth, the Swiss theologian, ...read more

    I wrote this sermon to preach in a church where the pastor had just died on Wednesday night before. God wanted to demonstrate how His timing and His power is more important than the humans in charge.

He implied that humanity would learn from its experience and improve. His hope was in the ...read more
