Spiritual Warfare 101 - Genesis 14 / Hebrews 7 - Apr 21, 1996 - 17
On Friday a friend called and asked how my week had gone. After I told him, he said, “You won’t believe what’s happened to me this week.” First of all, he owed thousands of dollars in income tax that he hadn’t expected to pay. On top of that he had one catastrophe af ... More
That's Incredible! - Romans 5:6-11 - Jan 2, 1993 - 442
Certain passages of Scripture stand out in God’s Word as mountain peaks.

So does Isaiah 53, John 3, Philippians 4 and Hebrews 11. Chr ... More

Easter comes in just six weeks. In order to prepare our hearts we are going to take the five weeks leading up to Palm Sunday to focus on the cross of Christ.

A Friend in High Places: “He Ascended into Heaven and Sits at the Right Hand of God the Father Almighty” - Various - Apr 25, 2004 - 653
This is one of the most remarkable statements in the Apostles’ Creed and it is also one of the most neglected areas of Christian doctrine.

Leading Others Upward - Malachi 2:1-9 - May 11, 2003 - 1259
