So - I think that I have started a new podcast. At least I searched; 'how to start a podcast' online, read an article about it, and did what they said to do. That being said, this is my first attempt. Why start a podcast? What do we have to offer amongst the millions of... Continue Reading →

More recently we saw how Jesus demonstrated His Sovereignty in John's Gospel and we looked into the mind of... Continue Reading →
The book of Acts is one of my favorite books in the Bible. In this video I walk through the first 19 chapters and look at how Luke demonstrates that Jesus is alive, God has spoken, and the Church shows the glory of God in all things. https://youtu.be/w1iV_ei_65o Take time tonight to discuss the following...
