During 1st century AD, as the apostles and other Christians were spreading the Word concerning the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God’s eternal Son in sinless human form, most saw the message of Christ as a religion for the lower classes and uneducated, not a religion that was attractive in any way to…

The devil is a schemer, he plays tricks, but it’s not a game. He schemes so that we, believers in the Lord, who is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, come to feel abandoned and desperate, fill with fear and run the fight, despair over the final victory, afraid it…

God’s design and institution of marriage is under attack. Marriage, what is it? What is its purpose? How does it thrive? Many are losing the ability and willingness to answer these questions. But God’s Word continues to speak. Do we have ears to hear? Come and hear this sermon based on Ephesians 5:21-33

We understand dramatic. Fireworks are dramatic. A space shuttle launch was dramatic. God’s power at creation was dramatic. Dramatic can generate many oohs and aahs, but this will not save us. God saves us through the quietly dramatic. The quietly dramatic is his Son, our Lord Jesus. He suffered and died on a cross, and…
