    Since we all have Adam as our father and Eve, the mother of all the living, as our mother, we are FAMILY!... with the same parents and that makes us family.

    Now that was perhaps the most unusual sermon opening you have seen. Thank you for putting up with my poor imitation of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood opening. So, why did I do it? The race issue is complex and and touches every sphere of society, history, culture, traditions, politics, education, ...read more

    The Christian faith, once rooted in Scripture and tradition, is facing a crisis in modern churches

    As I stepped into the church, I couldn't help but feel like I was entering a clubhouse rather than a sacred space. The atmosphere was lively, but it lacked the reverence and awe that comes with being in God's presence. This experience got me thinking – have we lost sight of the true purpose ...read more

    Sometimes we need to take a fresh look at long held or cherished traditions and teachings.

  • The Jesus Of The Word Of God Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 17, 2025
     | 380 views

    Try as we might, we can't make Jesus into just anything we want Him to be. If we would meet, follow and worship the real Jesus, we must understand that He is the Jesus of the Bible, the Living Word of God, for to believe anything else will result in wasted worship.

    “You don’t get your own personal Jesus!” In spite of what a recent “He gets us” television ad says, that’s the emphatic title of a little booklet written by popular east-coast Baptist Pastor J. D. Grear. He confesses that he first said it, actually yelled it in the middle of a television ...read more
