    "for Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever. Amen!" Whoa! We know this is true but why is it in some Bibles and not others? Are there some Bibles that are better than others? Were errors made? Should we fight over them? Lord please help us!

    Over the last five weeks we have been taking a look at The Lord’s Prayer and today we come to the end of verse 13 which says … Matthew 6:13 “For Thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” That is a grand statement! I love getting to that part of the ...read more

    Why Do The Nations Rage? Series

    Preached on the Sunday Following Christmas. King Herod tried to kill the Child Jesus and he is just the tip of the iceberg. All the nations of the world and people without Jesus are in rebellion against God. Why are they in rebellion and what is God reaction to them?

    This is the final message on the “Why’s of Christmas” and perhaps the more difficult to understand. We explored “Why Christmas?” a month ago. Why Jesus had to come and His purpose in coming was to die for our sins. This is why we will be observing the Lord’s Supper today, the last Sunday of the ...read more

    In John 10: 17 we hear Jesus say: “....I lay down my life---only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own accord.” Jesus was not a victim; He was a volunteer. Why did He volunteer to die for you?

    America is filled with volunteers. Did you know that every year 60.7 million adults volunteer which means 23.2 % of Americans volunteer. On average Americans give up 52 hours a year volunteering. Most volunteering involves food collection and distribution. Our church is blessed to have several ...read more

    From the ministry of Jesus and His followers we see the importance of knowing and applying the Word of God to our lives. This sermon gives three word pictures of the Authority of God’s Word.

    God’s Word is Like …. Acts 8:26-40 During the months of May and June I’m preaching on the Authority of God’s Word.

    What a paradox: in the eyes of God we are neither male nor female, but Paul gave gender specific instructions to Timothy.

    Bible – The Gender Issue We need to address a very serious issue in today’s church. Regardless of what the liberals, intellectuals, emergent and other people say, gender is relevant in the bible. The bible refers to God and the Holy Spirit as a male and thus we too should refer to ...read more
