    This sermon is designed to rekindle our passion of praise by focusing on the what and why of praise.

    One of the things that distinguishes the people of God from all others is praise. We who have been born again, filled and baptized with the Spirit posses a burning and blazing desire to praise the Lord. Praise is an instinctive behavior for the true child of God; the true child of God has a severe ...read more

    I think that we both would agree that Christmas is more than the cards and gifts, more than the trees and lights, more than family and food. There is a much deeper meaning, a much more fulfilling notion than that of a fat, bearded man on a sleigh. It is the birth of the Christ child: the true ...read more
