This past Sunday I shared that our purpose and our value come directly from God and His creation of us. Our purpose being to glorify Him in all that we do. Our value is found in His statement that at the end of creation, everything He saw was very good. This includes the creation of… Continue Reading True value
I shared the true story of Andy Meakins on Sunday in the sermon about “Why Jesus is Coming Back.” Today, instead of me writing more, I thought it best if you listen to a podcast entitled, Forgotten Episode 28 Andy Meakins and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 After you listen, once again ask yourself if it… Continue Reading Time to unbuckle your seatbelt? Â

In learning from him I came to the conclusion that I didn’t need to focus my attention on understanding girls or even thinking about getting married because, from all I heard, Jesus was coming back before any of that could… Continue Reading Sign of the times
