    Sometimes we romanticize Christmas and when we do we miss some of its most crucial messages. The real story of Christmas is about real life and real struggles and real truth.

    A Christmas Reality Check Luke 2:1-7 The Christmas of today is very different than the first Christmas: Today: The manger scene usually includes angels hovering, shepherds watching, animals gazing, clean straw, a strong looking Joseph, a vulnerable yet invincible baby, a halo over Mary’s ...read more

    For a believer to have authority they need to be people of character. Elijah was an ordinary man like us fashioned into an extraordinary man by God. This sermon covers the basis of Elijah’s contrasting character in the days he lived an example to us.

    THE ELIJAH CHURCH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT 1 Kings 17:1 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the LORD God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word.” James 5:17-18 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, ...read more

    What Is the Proper Way to Pray? 1) Persistently 2) Confidently

    Some people hold their hands up to heaven when engaged in this activity. Others get down on their knees. Most fold their hands and close their eyes. Yes, I’m talking about prayer.

    Persecution can and is real. The key is how we approach it. Peter offers 2 lessons of encouragement: We must "Cultivate Christian Love" and "Practice the Lordship of Christ".

    INTRODUCTION Persecution is real for the believer. While it comes in many different ways, it is real – The group we’ve been studying about in 1 Peter suffered this horror in much a different way than we do as Christians today: Dr. M.R. DeHaan put it this way: In the early days of the church. . . , ...read more
