    This sermon is about living a long time with issues and problems without asking God to intervene on our behalf. This sermon points us to the question of 1. Do we want to be healed 2. How long has it been since you reached out to Jesus.

    I reference these two scriptures and paraphrase the stories John 5:1-9 Mark 5:25 - 34 I. Both have been Sick a Long Time ( 38yrs & 12 yrs) 1. Two very different people with a similar situation 2. They aren¡¦t the only ones sick 3. They both have been trying to get better they want a ...read more

    Every analogy Jesus Used to refer to us has a meaning. What does it mean we are the salt? Why salt and not sugar? Today we will learn how to be salt and how to maintain our saltness.

    You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. Matthew 5:13. You are the salt of the earth. You are expected to maintain your saltiness because they are a ...read more
