    1. The kingdom of God transforms us individually. 2. the kingdom of God transforms the world. 3. The kingdom of God is Now. 4. The kingdom of God is Not Yet.

The concept of the kingdom of God was central to the teaching of Jesus, and therefore it is critical to our understanding of what ...read more

    The blind man over came the problem of the Pharisees; they could see, but could not believe.

    Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Doest thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is he, lord, that I might believe on him?

    Many think of the resurrection as an event from the past that just gives us a hope of the future. It is so much more than that, and it is relevant to us in our daily lives.

    It is amazing how the unpredictable can terrify us. When things seem to be unsure, or we can’t possibly explain something, fear seems to set in. Most parents know what it is like to be terrified. Our children can come out with some of the most alarming, humiliating, or shocking things, all done ...read more

    based on 39 ratings
     | 6,724 views

    Election sermons were common, even expected, in early America. This is a 21st century election sermon. Here we explore, not party politics, but principles of politics from the word of God.

    Mixing Politics and Religion Politics is the process by which we establish government. The word "politics" is derived from two words. The first, "poly", is a Latin word meaning many. The second, "tics", describes blood-sucking creatures. I’m kidding, of course, but - In my many years of ...read more
