God’s highest calling for you as a follower of Christ was never to go to a church…not to go to a building.

God’s calling on your life is to be conformed to the image of Christ, not to go to church sometimes, but to be rooted in the church, to be the church, a light shining into a dark world. …to be planted in the house of God, sent out into the world.

It seems like so many celebrities are gone way too soon…but, the truth is, none of us are promised tomorrow.
What are we going to do with today?? 

Lying to Congress??

Some of us need to be honest with ourselves.

Trust Jesus.

There has never been a life like the life of the Lord Jesus.

Here’s the amazing thing –

• when you study the gospels,

• when you read about the life

• and ministry of Jesus in the New Testament,

what you find is that there is more about His life that we don’t know than what we do know. You see, He only lived for about 33 years here on this planet.

And yet, when you add up all of the years of His life that the gospels record for us it only covers about 3 years. Really, the only insight that we have into His life as a boy comes when He was 12 years old.

Now, let me just make this statement before we read this amazing story. This is important.

When the gospel writers are quiet for so long, (for 12 years,) and then all of a sudden this one event in the childhood of Jesus is pulled out and put into Luke’s gospel and then the veil of mystery and secrecy falls once again across His life for 18 more years, THIS IS IMPORTANT.

What happens when we die? Soul sleep? Purgatory? What does the Bible say?

What is baptism? Who is it for? What about infant baptism? Who should be baptized and why? Check out this message as we look at what Scripture says!

One of our spiritual enemy’s greatest weapons is to lie to us. The father of lies, to try to convince us that even though something is not true, if we will believe it, we’ll live and act on it as if it were true.
