    Messages discusses how and why we need to guard our eyes in today's culture.

    The key to surviving temptation involves guarding our eyes with all diligence. In Matthew 18:9, Jesus said if your eye causes you to sin pluck it out! Seems rather drastic but it makes the point.

    There is a lot of confusion when it comes to the topic of the anointing. The confusion quickly unravels when you discover that God's purposes in the anointing was very simple. God wants to empower your life to do His will in the world.

    The question was asked by Christ on the cross and we often ask it as we look at the Easter Story, God Why Don' t you do something. The reality is that he was doing something

    Matthew 27:46 At about three o’clock, Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” How many times have we asked ourselves the same question that Jesus asked as he hung dying on the cross? ...read more

    “The earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence. And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. And God said to Noah, ‘I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through ...read more

    When the men on the ship realized that Jonah was the cause for their serious predicament they asked him, ‘Why have you done this?’ May we as children of God not do anything that will dishonor God and be a hindrance to those outside the church.
