  • Borrowing Trouble From Tomorrow

    I invite you to turn with me this evening to Matthew chapter 6.  Matthew 6 is one part of a long sermon that Jesus gave on a mountain in Galilee, it’s a sermon that calls for lots of sermons.  A responsible preacher would probably offer you about a dozen.  But I think there’s a mountain…

  • All Authority

    Our Father in heaven, we ask that as you have lead us all the way from new birth to this place and you will lead us safely home, we pray that you now lead us in these moments together that we might have receptive hearts of faith to receive your Word, the Word that will…
