One of our adult Sunday School classes is going to start studying the book “Respectable Sins” by Jerry Bridges. The first Sentence on the back of the book says “Have Christians become so preoccupied with the major sins of our society that we have lost sight of our need to deal with our own more […]
Romans 8:12 says that we are under an obligation, not to the flesh or its desires and lusts, but to the Spirit. The word obligation seems so negative! We are obligated to go to work every day, we are obligated to pay our bills, we are obligated to love our wives and respect our husbands, […]
How do you prove that something is authentic? Well, you might say, it depends on what it is you want to prove. Suppose I have a bottle of “Loctite” and I need to glue some pottery together. How would I prove that the contents in this bottle were in fact “Loctite”? This is an easy […]
A simple question this week. Do you live your life to its full potential? Or do you go from one disaster to another, wondering when the next disaster will hit? Scripture has a different directive for us to live by. Most people simply live life and take whatever comes there way with a grain of […]

Last week we ended with Romans 7:13 which ends with the words “so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.” We talked about the law pointing out for us the sin in our lives. We know that we are all sinners but until we are told about the law or read it for […]
This Sundays sermon will be on Romans 7:7-13. In a nut shell it is saying that it was not until the law came or I found out about the law that I realized that I was a sinner. The law points us to our sin. I really like the way Paul writes here, he says […]
My Question for this week is this, “If Jesus is alive, but I have not seen Him, where is He?” Jesus died on Good Friday and on Sunday (Resurrection Sunday) He rose from the dead. But Jesus did not show up to all of His disciples immediately. Thomas said that unless I see and touch […]
We have a clear description of what it means to be a follower of Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 says “For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according […]
