    Am I Saved? That's a question that haunted me for years. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 I wasn't raised in a typical church. My parents were in the military and we spent many years overseas. Worship services were divided into two groups: Catholic and everyone else. We were "everyone else." Dad didn't… Read More

In the encounter described in Matthew 4, Satan believed he… Read More

      But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Matthew 5:44 Not easy is it? Some of us have been hurt so deeply that it's hard to imagine ever being able to forgive them, let alone love them. A few of us have lost a loved one who was far from home, fighting an enemy, to protect our country. Pray for them? Seems almost impossible. Enter Jonah. God uses… Read More

    www.sermons4kids.com What a mind-boggling miracle: 4000 hungry men and Jesus fed them all with seven loaves of bread and a few fishes (Mark 8:1-9).

Let's peek in on the disciples and discover 3 lessons that can lead to a miracle. 1. Remember! “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied. They had… Read More
