  • The Tongue

    Proverbs 15:4 You have heard the phrase, "Divide and conquer." When there is division of any kind that disturbs unity, we are much more vulnerable to the enemy.

  • To Seek and to Save

    Luke 19:1-27 One of my favorite songs I sing to children is "Zacchaeus." It goes like this: "Zacchaeus was a wee little man, a wee little man was he. He climbed up in the sycamore tree, the Lord he wanted to see. And when the Lord came passing by He looked up in the tree…

Anyone who comes to Jesus because…

    Beware of Strange Fire

    We all want the genuine manifestation of the Holy Spirit’s power. But we must be careful not to allow counterfeits.
