How Can A Perfectly Holy And Just God Accept Sinners?
Good Morning Friends, On Sunday we had a sermon on the Samaritan Woman at the Well.

Good Morning Friends, In Colossae there was a church. The saints met in the home of a man named Philemon, who was a convert of Paul’s on some earlier occasion.

Will We Be Filled Up Or Fed Up…Building Up Or Burning Up?
Good Morning Friends, I have a confession. You know those people who call on the phone to sell you something you really do not need nor want.

But then a friend pointed out another approach and once I had read … Continue reading Will We Be Filled Up Or Fed Up…Building Up Or Burning Up?
Are We Listening To God For A Sense Of Place And Productive Purpose?
Good Morning Friends, Undoubtedly you are aware of the past, present, and potential future of the places where you grew up. Maybe like Jesus you have lived in multiple places.
