About two thousand years ago, the Son of God, then living on earth in human form, spoke to a multitude of people who had gathered to hear Him on a mountainside along the Sea of Galilee. Today we refer to the words He spoke that day as the “Sermon on the Mount.” Jesus was the greatest communicator wh... Read More

I greet everybody in Jesus' name. It's been a blessing to be here and it's been humbling to hear these things that we heard this morning. I had to think of John the Baptist, when some of his disciples came to him and said, "That man Jesus who you baptized, people are going to Him now and He's drawin... Read More

"I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:14). We must be truth-centered if we are to be Christ-centered. "With an increase of knowledge and apprehension of the truth, there is a constant sense that we are not practically up to what we have rec... Read More

"Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him " (Psalm 37 7). The difference between knowing the Lord Jesus as Savior and knowing Him as Life, is the better part of a lifetime; even for the hungriest of hearts. "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" (Phili... Read More
