Worth Seeking

Who was Rahab? We read about her in Joshua 2. She was a harlot or maybe an innkeeper in Jericho. She had heard how the Lord dried up the Red Sea for the Israelites when they came out of Egypt. She had heard how they had destroyed the Amorites east of Jordan. She hid the... Read More

The Forerunner of Christ

John the Baptist played a crucial role in the ministry of Jesus. He was a forerunner, a herald, one who went before and prepared the way for the ministry of Jesus. He fulfilled Old Testament prophecies. He was a messenger, a voice crying in the wilderness, “Prepare ye the way of the Lord.” John knew... Read More

The Long Thread of Redemption

Luke 10:38-42: Martha was distracted; Mary found contentment with Jesus. A contented person says, One thing is needed. Psalm 4: David found peace... Read More

"We don't want to be irreverent here, but this brings up a subject I'd like to talk about this morning!"... Read More

Jacob Meets Esau

Forgiveness is not a one-time quick fix for trauma; that is the upfront message that John wanted to convey in this morning's sermon. Forgiveness takes time and effort.
