Sermon notes

Sermon 11 May || John 2:1-12 Jesus’s conversation with his mother was fitting for Mother’s Day. In it, I believe God is teaching us to 1) come to him with our needs and fears; 2) yield to his timing and will; 3) remain tenacious in seeking God to do whatever it is he wills to […]

Sermon 4 May || John 5:1-8 Jesus’s conversation with the paralytic in John 5 raises as many questions as it answers. Jesus singled out one helpless man and asked the question all of us must answer–“Do you want to be healed?” In this man’s case, a disordered heart kept him from true healing. Like some,

Sermon 27 April || John 3:1-5 The conversation with Nicodemus in John 3 tells us religious people need to— 1-Start Over-v 3 2-Give Up Trying to Control God-v 8 3-Believe and Receive-vv 11-15 Discussion Points

This week (20 April) our sermon was from John 21:15-17 The conversation with Peter concludes the book of John.

This week (April 6) our sermon was from John 1:43-51 We looked at the first conversation with Nathanael, the Skeptic. All of us have some doubts.

“This week our Sermon was from James 5:7-12. How long can you wait on the Lord? How does a person learn patience? Is it a born trait or a learned trait? What is the place of Hope in the process of perseverance? Perseverance is a CRITICAL TRAIT for all Christ followers. You will need patient

Who is rich? What are riches for? Are your riches killing you? How are you investing your money? TheBible says more about money than about prayer and yet the people of God often miss the heart of God for how we manage our money. Instead of aligning with God, we allow money to kill our

Proverbs 16:9 says, “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” What plans does God have for your life that you don’t know about?  Because you have a sinful heart, you want to be in control of your own life.
