    Explore how it's "fair" for a loving, non discriminating God to love one brother and hate the other.

    WHY GOD HATED ESAU Romans 9:13 13  As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. This has got to be one of the most difficult verses in the Bible.

    The closing section of the Lord's Prayer ... for yours is the kingdom etc ... is not from the NT. Yet, closing the prayer this way gives us a pattern to get us through life and death

     | 1,125 views

    The will of the Father wasn’t an optional thing for Jesus; it was an essential thing. It wasn’t a cul-de-sac, but it was His main thoroughfare. Just as you were to finish a big porterhouse steak, Jesus is satisfied by doing the Father’s will. It was His source of life.

    Have you discovered your purpose? Do you know your “why”? Many American Christians fall into the trap that exists only to make money or to be happy. Do you know why God has placed you here on earth? Do you know your “why”? Invitation At the conclusion of today’s message, you will be invited to ...read more

    Your life should be characterized by forgiveness because Jesus first forgave you.

All because of the making of The Passion of the Christ. Why all the controversy? The brutality? R-rated slasher movies come out ...read more
