     | 3,223 views

    In one sense, God gives us the freedom and option to serve Him or not. We know the outcomes of that choice, so it is not really an option to reject Him.

    Serving God Is Not Optional Patriots have their eyes open to the destruction of our republic. Even the people who are asleep or are not patriotic know something is wrong. Our forefathers knew that having God as the basis of our society was essential, not optional. They knew that when people know ...read more

    Why doesn't God divorce his unfaithful people? We would, in his place.

    Hosea must have been crazy. God told him to marry a prostitute named Gomer, and so he did. Now, stories of reformed prostitutes who settle down and become good wives and mothers are a staple of romantic fiction. How many of you have seen Pretty Woman, starring Richard Gere as the rich man who falls ...read more

     | 2,079 views

    The people during the time of Jesus’ crucifixion also wrote a sign and there were some people who didn’t like what it said while others saw it as a necessary statement about the man hanging on that cross. This morning we are going to share in hearing about the Sign of the Cross.

That goes for using products incorrectly—by that I mean not for their intended purpose. Also, people have been known to have accidents and rather than improve ...read more

     | 2,650 views

    Some investments give good returns. Others completely fail. Is there any investment which gives a guaranteed return? Yes, there is.

    I expect some of us invest money, maybe in property or in shares in companies. Perhaps some of us ‘invest’ in other ways. We invest in our future by studying and passing exams. We invest time in people. When we invest, we hope for a return. What do you suppose is the best investment of all? ...read more
