    The Ethiopian Eunuch didn’t understand the Bible until someone explained it to him. The whole Bible points to Jesus’ life death and resurrection.

On the third day he rose again - in accordance with the Scriptures." I wonder whether we ever stop ...read more

    Peter’s response to Simon seems a bit harsh... until you realize what Simon really needed in his life.

    This message will be unpopular because it challenges the foundation of those claiming to have this authority.

    Apostolic Authority I realize this is not a popular message, but I also believe it is necessary and relevant to a biblically sound church. This is a follow up to the message, ‘Is Speaking in Tongues Essential?’ In this message, we looked at scripture that testified that not all Christians under ...read more

    1.
