    In this Mother’s Day sermon, we view the concept of TRAIN up a child. What exactly goes into that process?

    Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. Proverb 22:6 “Train” in the Hebrew is chanak (khaw-nak’) and appears 5 times. Once here it is translated as train or train up. The other 4 times it is translated as dedicate. This is the Hebrew word used to ...read more

    Just as Ezekiel was commanded to dig into the wall, maybe we need to dig into our walls that we might be able to see the door which is Jesus. If we want to go up in the things of God, we can not worry or fear what the enemy might try to intimidate us wit

    Not Fearing Going Up Ezekiel 8:1-6 1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me. 2 Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of ...read more

Somehow, no matter what the problem, it seemed as though X always equaled twelve. But how did he get that? From long and complex ...read more

    Jesus’ disciples come up short when they come up with solutions for the lack of food. Jesus never comes up short.

The disciples come up short, way short in their attempts to feed the thousands of people in today’s Gospel ...read more
