Humility demonstrated by Jesus is the greatest act of selflessness of any ruler. As Tim Tebow says..."humility is not thinking less of yourself just thinking of yourself less. Jesus shows us how to leave our title, status and position behind.

Humility Philippians 2:1-11 Can we express Christ’s majesty with just one word? This would be a most difficult exercise. For some of us we might choose the word “Love” or “Saviour” but for those who want to capture Christ’s majesty only one word does ...read more

In a time when many deny the existence of Jesus and the fact He arose, we offer the biblical story and compare it to some of the worldly explanations about Jesus and the tomb, using the truth found in facts.

So, if you would, please open your Bibles to LUKE 24. We will begin there, but first . . . What do you think a good sermon ...read more

Jesus teaches about serving others. We are not to think too highly of ourselves in the service of the Lord.

In this passage of Scripture, Mark is telling us what Jesus teaches about serving others. This concurs with the story in Matthew 20:20-28. Mark records that John and James went to Jesus with their appeal; in Matthew, their mother likewise made the petition. There is no logical inconsistency in the ...read more
