We are in week four of our series that is on the Book of Matthew. We are still in the beginning stages of Jesus ministry. Last week we looked at the temptation of Jesus.

When I was a kid, I was not allowed to go to the movies. I grew up in the Church of the Nazarene, and our denomination had taken a stand against the movie theater. I distinctly remember the first time I felt deprived because of that stance. The year was 1975, and there was a movie coming out that everybody…

Anger-Lust We have been diving in deep to Sermon on the Mount in Matthew chapters 5-7. A couple weeks ago, we looked at Jesus’ command that our righteousness must be greater than the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees. It was a mandate that in their minds would have been impossible to follow.…

The Word of God The Bible is the Word of God. Every word of the original Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic were inspired by the Holy Spirit as he carried along the men who wrote recorded the words.

Having watched several Bob Ross videos, I notice a pattern or trend: the first several colors applied in the first several minutes are him painting a background which, frankly, doesn’t mean a lot by itself. You couldn’t not have it, but you also couldn’t have only it. Genesis 1 is the background. As…

INTRO Growing up as a Pastor’s kid, before there was Chat GPT, there was my dad. I could pretty much go to him and ask him anything about the Bible and get an answer. And I guess I grew up assuming God was real and didn’t really question anything about Him, until I got into my high school years. Until…
