To become a fan is generally fine. “Everyone is a fan of something or someone, but we must exercise caution and be mindful of the dangers of idolatry. Because a simple admiration or desire can turn into idolatry. Idolatry is often a good thing that becomes a "god thing". That will ...read more

Stand Firm For The Family

Anyone here named Eutychus? No? Good. Do y’all know that the Apostle Paul preached so long one night, that a young man who was perched in a window, fell asleep and fell to his death?

Now listen, I know Paul resurrected that young man, but I’d just as soon wish everyone would stay awake for the next 3 hours that I’ve been given to speak to you. Seriously though, I want y’all to receive this in the spirit in which it is given. Pastor Parrish encouraged us to “be real” in our ...read more

A New Beginning

Contributed by Rocco Naudé on Feb 1, 2002

This sermon is about new beginnings. We all mess up. And because we all mess up, we like to start over. But after too many disappointments we often give up. However, the Bible speaks of a "new creation"--and then we become abassadors of Jesus!
