if we knew ‘the hour and the day’ of our Lord’s return we might be tempted to behave a little more like Christ as the Day approaches. And what kind of fair-weather (or more correctly Apocalyptic-weather) disciples would that prove us to be?
A Sermon: The ‘Last’ Disciple….?
When we cry out to God and God replies by using our name our healing begins. But will we continue to follow along the way?
A Sermon: Dying to Live

True greatness is not found in ruling.
True greatness consists in serving!
