Sermons on We Need To Tell Them:

Not What We Expected

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jul 9, 2018

Opposition to the Good News of Jesus Christ is nothing new. The first 12 pastors were instructed how to deal with it. Think long and hard how you respond to the message of the Good News as there are consequences depending on your reaction.

Not What We Expected Mark 6:1-13 Jesus said that; ““A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.” “He was amazed at their lack of faith.” Mark 6:4 Sometimes people think they know you. They think they know your family and your family ...read more

Knowing Why We Do What We Do

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Oct 5, 2014

Conformity to Christ is our goal. Live with this end in mind. Spiritual growth is not an option. Put first things first.
