5th Sunday aft the Epiphany Mark 1 “He Means Everything”

5th Sunday aft the Epiphany Mark 1 “He Means Everything”

It’s unfortunate these days that people don’t seem to say what they mean and mean what they say. Today I give a few examples of that when it’s harmless and when it can be problematic. It even happens in scripture and when people trust others with what God says. Listen today to see what Jesus says and what that means for you today!!!

The First Sunday After Christmas Luke 2:22-40 “Sinners Need a Savior”

The First Sunday After Christmas Luke 2:22-40 “Sinners Need a Savior”

Some people don’t know Jesus. Some others know about Jesus, or think they do, but don’t care about Jesus. Some really know Jesus, and hate Him for who He is. Seems impossible for all of these to coexist in the same communities, and yet they do managing neighborliness at the same time. So who is Jesus and what does He have to do with Christmas anyway? Many are asking that very question of Christians today.
Dec 28, 202315:01

3rd Sunday in Advent 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24 “Life is Hard”

3rd Sunday in Advent 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24 “Life is Hard”

“I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden” a famous country singer once crooned. Nobody should have sold you on life going easy! But if you were misled, the surprise can feel like utter betrayal! Can you just imagine what a perfect divine man would feel like? Especially if they were poor, persecuted, and died the hardest death you could die? Ironically enough Jesus is that God Man who did just that. And he knew exactly what was coming before he did!
Dec 14, 202312:25
2nd Sun. Of Advent 2 Pet 3:8-14 “Patient and Forever Present with Us”

2nd Sun. Of Advent 2 Pet 3:8-14 “Patient and Forever Present with Us”

If so this message may be about the Old Testament Prophet Amos but it’s definitely for you!

We know our duty, just do it, and the the events results be determined by God!

Independence Day Observed

Independence Day Observed

July 4th 1776 we were declared free from rule under Great Britain. But we were not free yet, revolutionary war had to be fought until a treaty was signed in 1783 making independence no longer a declaration but a reality. The truth is no one is truly free until they believe Jesus declaration 2,000 years earlier when he proclaimed liberty for those being held in captivity by Satan and their own sin. Effective the day He died on the cross and made satisfaction for our sins and declaring us saints!
