    The enemies of the cross at Jesus' arrest show us strong lessons about the Kingdom of Christ.

    When we hear the word, “arrested”, we think of criminals. Criminals are an unusual sort, as far as I can tell. I hear tell of a set of criminal brothers who did all sorts of crime. As a matter of fact, if a crime occurred in this small community, one, if not both, of these boys had ...read more

    The year of 2020 has really caused us to stop and shake our heads at what is going on. We have experienced unprecedented life events that leave us bewildered at best. In the immortal words of Marvin Gaye “What’s Going On”.

    Independence Day: It appears that more and more, the people of America are going astray from a strong belief and commitment to the Lord. Unfortunately, many people trust in the inventions of man more than they trust in God.

This verse sounds like the motto for a country, like what we find written on our money, which says, “In God We Trust.” But I want to ask you this morning, “Do the people of our ...read more
