Pastor Talk – March
Hebrews 10:19-25 (KJV) 19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 21 And having an high priest over the house of God; 22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good...
Read MoreTrue Worship
Matthew 15:8-9 (KJV) 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. True Worship INTRODUCTION A tradition is defined as anything that has been handed down from one generation to another. Though many traditions are good and have great value, traditions have to be put into perspective. No matter how long traditions have existed, they must not violate Scripture. Traditions can never replace Scripture no matter how well meaning they may be....

James 4:11-17 (KJV) 11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? 13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a...
Read MoreThe Miracle in the Manger
Luke 2:7 (KJV) 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. The most amazing miracle in history is the incarnation of God. The miracle baby born in a stable in Bethlehem was the eternal God revealing himself in flesh. Although we know that nothing is impossible with God, it is incomprehensible how an infinite God could limit Himself within the finite form of mortal man. God is an eternal Spirit infinite in power and glory, purposed before the world began that He would redeem fallen...

Read MoreThe importance of November Holidays
November brings two of the greatest holidays: Veteran’s Day and Thanksgiving. On November 11th, America takes time to honor all veterans. We drift back with memories of the veterans of yesterday, say a special prayer for the veterans of today, and envision another group of veterans that will continue to carry the torch. We unfortunately fail to recognize these great men and women enough, but as Americans we are truly blessed to have such honorable and distinguished veterans that service in our Armed Forces. Romans 13:7 instructs us to give honor to whom honor is due. On November 11th...
