    based on 1 rating
     | 12,305 views

    Why is the Church so guilty of injustice and does it rule out faith in God as a valid life choice?

    This is a series based on and heavily dependent on Timothy Keller’s Best Seller "The Reason For God" for which I’m deeply grateful. It uses much of his argument though with various additions by myself or the other preachers of the series. I’m going to begin today with a short ...read more

    How does Paul portait the Church in Ephesians

    The Portrait of the Church (Seen in Ephesians) Christ’s Church is not an after-thought of God.

    Why would Paul list such a long boooring list of people at the end of such a powerful New Testament book? Why waste the ink? The answer to that question is both intriguing and exciting to those of who belong to Jesus.

    I opened the sermon by asking the congregation to join with me in singing: “I’m So Glad I’m A Part Of The Family of God I’ve been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His blood Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod For I’m part of the family, the family of God.” If you’re a Christian here ...read more
