Let’s consider ways to resolve in advance our responses to events in 2020, instead of just ‘reacting’. · Nehemiah resolved to act when he heard difficult news · Joseph ‘changed’ his resolve with incomplete date was updated with correct date · Daniel resolved well in advance, before he wa...

The Call Of Christmas – “Fear Not, Let Love Rule Instead” “Fear Not” is a common phrase communicated through out the Scriptures when a ‘divine encounter’ takes place. “Fear Not” is communicated four times throughout the Christmas story.

The Call Of Christmas – “What If Mary Represents “Us”?” WHOA! Mary!! What if Mary represents all of us?? She had Christ put into her without asking? She was from Nazareth, a town of no good reputation. She was young, innocent, and not indoctrinated by ‘higher Jewish education. What if it is true that Christ has already been placed in all of us?

What is it that YOU are anticipating or looking forwar...

Enjoy!! Watch on YOUTUBE:...

The Great Awakening – Pt 5 “Early Church Policies, Procedures, & Bylaws” What was the motive for the ‘early church’ to meet? What were the rules, policies and bylaws?  Acts 2 is the launch of ‘the Church’, they were figuring things out. They were motivated by…wait for it….LOVE! I think the ‘church’ today needs to revisit the original reason they met.  Even this little church in Water...

The Great Awakening – Pt 4 “The Case For Jesus” Peter is now embolden by what he has witness in relation to the resurrection of Jesus and the experience of the Holy Spirit anointing the group in the upper room. Peter builds a ‘case for Christ’ as he shares with the listeners what the meaning of David’s prophecies meant and that they have been fulfilled!! As a result over 3000 people are baptized a...
