The Secret to Unconditional Love
Each and everyone of us desires to be loved, so why don’t we do it more?
What is the secret to this great mystery?
How can the very thing we all crave be so hard to find and give?
Could it be that love is found in something else that is harder to find and give?
Like a gift, is it wrapped in something else?
Jesus sheds light into these questions in His conversation with a man named Simon who hosted Jesus for a meal in His home.

Four Lessons from the Temptations of Christ
Matthew 4 and Luke 4 reveal a dialogue between Jesus and Satan during Jesus’ 40-day fast and temptation in the wilderness.
According to Mark 1:13 and Luke 4:2, Jesus had been tempted of Satan all 40 days, over and above the recorded temptations.

It appears that the primary goal of Satan w…

But We See Jesus
So our family was driving in for one of our church services a few weeks ago, and Charity began a dialogue that adults would usually avoid.
She began by asking the question: “Will we see Jesus at church today?”
Martha immediately responded: “Jesus is always with us.”
Charity firmly rebutted: “No, I never see Him. See this teddy bear? I can see this teddy bear. I cannot see Jesus. I want to see Jesus.”
Now how do you respond to that?
You know, Charity’s demand was a valid one.

The Eternal Stone
As we read Daniel 7, we are brought into the setting of a Hebrew man in his 60s of royal blood who has been serving leaders of the world power–the same world power that besieged his home country and took him captive.

In this chapter, Daniel receives a follow up dream to Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, which he had interpreted in chapter 2.
Nebuchadnezzar’s dream described the future as it would relate mo…

God’s Presence WITHOUT God’s Blessing
Text: Numbers 22
Have you ever felt like you did not have God’s blessing on your life?
If God is ever near us, why don’t we always experience His blessing?
Is it possible to have the presence of God without the blessing of God?
The message today will address these questions. In Numbers 22, we find a vivid example of God intervening against the will of man to accomplish His purpose. God performs His will through a pagan man and a simple donkey. In the process, Balaam, the pagan ma…
