    Why did Jesus have to die? If God is a God of love why would he ever let his own son die such a horrible death? Some critics say that the crucifixion is nothing more than a romantic story of a man who was going through an identity crisis. What do you beli

    I have never been able to entirely shake this story out of my head. There once was a man who worked in a small town as the operator of a drawbridge on a river. A train track ran across the bridge, and the operator’s job was to keep the bridge up when no train was coming so that the boats could ...read more

    In our modern culture, the way of salvation is under challenge within and without the church. This sermon addresses this important issue.

    Why Jesus is the only Way to salvation.
