    This sermon was preached at a service in honor of Todd Cherry, a young member of our church who was being sent to Iraq. It looks at what being a hero and a patriot means.

    We throw around the term hero far to often these days. If a man can outrun a defender to score a touchdown, or if a person can slam dunk the ball we call them a hero. If a person can get on the big screen and pretend to do something great, we call them a hero. We have so belittled the term that ...read more

    Notice 3 things about these children: a. Jesus received the children around Him. Which says that He places an importance and value on them. b. Jesus rebuked those around Him.

    There is a power that supersedes every other power. That power, transforms simple things into powerful weapons. The awesomeness and mystery of the power in the Blood of Jesus, is not being preached in the church today.

    “Great is your faith!” How would you feel if I as your Pastor were to tell someone that about you? I’m guessing that you’d think you must be doing something right.
