SERMONS

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man
of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."
-- 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Listen to this weeks sermon
6There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.8He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
9The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husbandʼs will, but born of God.

  • Born of God

    • We have two rights as children of God.
      • The first is intimate access. 
      • The second, we're made heirs.  Romans 8:18
  • Going Home                                                                                                                                
    • Don't wait to take hold of the new life in Christ. 2 Corinthians 6:2
    • Share the benefits of your inheritance with those who have not yet come home.
