A couple of months ago most of us had never heard of COVID-19; now all of us have had our lives disrupted by it. How quickly things can change: No restaurants to dine in, no movie theaters open, no schools in session, no church services to attend. In April 2020, with much of the world […]
The feeding of the 5000 men is the only miracle of Jesus repeated in all four gospels. We know that if something is given once in the Bible, it is true and we should believe it, but when the Holy Spirit repeats Himself, it must be because there is a lesson of surpassing importance. […]
If you have been born again you can’t be unborn. Every Christian who believes they can lose their salvation will always give you a reason that involves them. They say, “What if I do this sin or what if I do that?” What if I…? You fill in the blank there, but it’s all the […]
I am often asked questions about the “unforgivable sin”. One of the greatest sources of anxiety among believers is confusion over issues of sin and forgiveness. Tell a confused Christian that there is an unforgiveable sin and it’s like throwing gas on a fire. So, is there an unforgiveable sin and, if so, what is […]
I love Christmas. I love being able to see it through the eyes of my grandchildren. In a culture that has become increasingly secular, where it is politically incorrect to even mention the name of Jesus Christ, I think it’s wonderful that Christmas brings out into the public some of the greatest truths of the […]
How do you respond when someone asks about your belief in God? Do you become defensive, do you go into combat mode, become intimidated? None of these extremes are necessary.

We all have times in our lives when, if you caught us in that moment, we would all appear faithless. God never wants our lives to be held hostage to a single moment of failure or unbelief. In Scripture, Thomas is one of those people who was defined by a single moment in his life […]
Have you ever heard the parable of the sower? Jesus taught it and it can be found in Matthew 13:3-8. Like all of Jesus’ parables, this one contains amazing surprises. This parable speaks of seed being scattered on stony places, shallow places, among thorns and on good ground. It says the good ground produced some […]
Jonah 1:15 (NKJV) 15 So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea ceased from its raging. You usually read or hear sermons from preachers encouraging you to “get out of the boat” or to “walk on the water”. This is not that message! Some of you need to tell […]
“The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this… ‘Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.’” (Heb 10:15,17) Some believers feel that the Holy Spirit is convicting them of their sins. Only He doesn’t. How could the Holy Spirit convict us of something He chooses not to remember? Look at what He […]
