Believing God’s Word
on March 30th, 2024
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)  Many people are searching for the will of God. Not only do they want to know the will of God, but they want to stay in His will. Consequently, when someone asks me how they can find God’s ...  Read More

Go All in for Christ
on March 28th, 2024
Because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.” (Revelation 3:16)  It saddens me that many believers just sit back and say, “I like the information.” They just sit there like bumps on a log. They hear the Word of God, and they identify themselves as disciples of Christ. They don't apply the Word of God to their lives. They live just like the Laodicean Church. The ...  Read More

Taking Up Your Cross
on March 24th, 2024
And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. - Luke 14:27One of the most famous statements Jesus ever made was this: “You must take up that cross, deny yourself, and follow me.” I want you to understand what He is saying when He makes this statement. He’s saying to us, His followers, “I want you to die every day to what you want and follow me.” In other words, you ne...  Read More

When God Repeats Himself
on March 22nd, 2024
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. (John 10:27)  As a pastor, I sometimes repeat myself when I’m preaching. In good communications, you tell people the truth, then you remind them of what you told them, and finally, you tell them again, in case they forgot. Repetition is key if you want to remember something. You need to expose yourself to the information over and over ag...  Read More

Fathers Loving Mothers
on March 20th, 2024
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her…husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church.

Simply Follow Christ
on March 19th, 2024

You must follow me.” (John 21:22)   In one of Christ’s post-resurrection appearances, He was alone on the shore where He had first called His fishermen.
