    Christianity is much more than knowledge and facts about Jesus.

    Do You Know Jesus? The Bible says we are to "experience the breadth and length and height and depth of Christ’s love" (Eph 3:18) We may know many facts about Jesus, just like we may know many facts about basketball superstar Michael Jordan, but that is not the same as knowing him as a personal ...read more

    Facing the consequences of sin. Hunkering down behind denial and other defensive walls only delays and compounds the consequences. Surrendering and facing the music (through Realization, Repentance, Restitution) is the path to peace and life.

    A short sermon given at a midweek communion service. The answer to our searching is much closer than we can possibly imagine.

    When I was quite young, I seem to remember an occasion when my Mother announced that she had lost her glasses. We are a family of spectacle wearers, and I know for myself that the loss of my glasses can be a big problem. Well, I was sat in front of the television and Mum was searching around in ...read more

    TODAY IS YESTERDAY’S TOMORROW—3.

    Romans 15:4 tells us whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning. I believe we can learn from Old Testament characters such as Joseph.

    I believe we can learn somethings from Joseph concerning making our God given visions to come true. See: Genesis 37:8-11 He clearly dreamed this dream and it was revealed unto him that one day he would sit in a prominent seat somewhere. Note: I personally believe that in the Old Testament they ...read more
