    The Lord set John the Baptist apart from others for a specific ministry. God does this for all the main characters in the Bible and he does for us also.

    Matthew 3:1-12 “Set Apart” INTRODUCTION We celebrate many things in many ways during our holiday season. Families and friends, the Christmas Spirit, holiday traditions and favorite foods are but a few of the blessings in which we rejoice. Of course, at the core of our Christmas ...read more

     | 15,456 views

    The world in which we live isn't shy about telling us what a beautiful woman looks like but is this the beauty that God would have us chase after? God's idea of beauty differs vastly from society's idea of beauty - but which beauty are we running after?

    Beautiful in God’s Sight - 2 Timothy 1:3-10 - May 8, 2011 Mother’s Day Well I think it is pretty safe to say that “beauty” is big business these days, isn’t it? Would you women agree with that statement? When you take into account everything from hair care, to ...read more

    In today's lesson we wrestle with what it means to repent and believe, as we examine King Herod's refusal to do so.

    Scripture What is it that determines the choices we make? Is it our consciences? I ask this because my conscience is currently being pricked by advertisements I see in some magazines that promised me washboard abs within three months.
