Have you ever visited a really weird exhibit? You walk in, look at everything, and wonder why in the world you are there. The weirdest exhibit that I have ever been to was one on the human body. It was at a science museum in Dallas. For some reason, some scientist had decided to freeze two bodies, male…

Are all people, just as they were lost through Adam, saved through Christ? Who and why would you choose players for your team? According to the bible, God chooses the members of his family, but he does not choose us based on our ability, intelligence, beauty, or goodness. When we talk about God’s choosing,…

Paul’s letter for Ephesus reminds us that God has intended purposes folded and wrapped into the grace he gives us; how is God’s grace being unfolded and unwrapped in your life?

Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.

Intro: Our fathers. We all have one. If I were to poll 10 of you, I am sure that 10/10 people would have a dad. I know, shocking! It is sobering, however, to think of those 10 individuals and see: how many of them had a Father they could look up to? Would it be 9 out of 10, 7 out of 10, 4 out of 10?…

Sons of God, Seed of Abraham We have spent a lot of time talking about God’s plan to reclaim the disinherited nations and restore his rule over those he disinherited.
