    In Matthew 7:20, Jesus said, “Therefore by their fruits you will know them.” You hear people all the time say, “Don’t judge me!” So, how do we evaluate good fruit from bad fruit? And, as believers, are we allowed to judge others?

    A little boy went over to a pastor’s house, where the pastor was doing some carpentry in his garage. The boy simply stood there and watched him for quite a long time. The preacher wondered why this boy was watching him and was finally so curious that he stopped and said, “Son, are you trying to ...read more

    This is the first message in a series from the book of Ecclesiastes that examines Solomon's wisdom in regard to the mistakes that he had made in his life. This message examines the pursuit of pleasure and how it can squeeze God out of our lives..

    Dear Diary, “Why does pleasure never seem to last?” That question is at the heart of America’s relentless pursuit of pleasure. Americans are constantly moving from one thing to another in hope of finding something that will provide pleasure that doesn’t fade away. As I was ...read more

    “Does Church really Matter? Acts 9:18-30” Today we begin looking for Easter and many will be preparing for egg hunts and the like. Sermons are preached today about the triumphal entry as Jesus made His way into Jerusalem. The crucifixion will be the topic ...read more

    Real Sin has real consequences. Only God can deal with them and he does that via the Cross

    This is a series based on and heavily dependent on Timothy Keller’s Best Seller "The Reason For God" for which I’m deeply grateful. It uses much of his argument though with various additions by myself or the other preachers of the series. 1 Cor 1 tells us that Christ crucified is a stumbling block ...read more
