Gospel of John Series - A Man Sent from God

                                                                        A Man Sent from God John 1: 6-18 It was said about John the Baptist, “You wouldn’t want to invite John the Baptist to be the guest speaker at a minister’s conference or denominational conference.” For his message has nothing to do with celebrating numbers, organizational plans, mission statements, or 6 steps spiritual growth seminars.

2 Peter Series - You Have Been Forewarned!

                                                              You Have Been Forewarned! 2 Peter 3:15-18 When someone gives a warning, one of two things happens, You will take heed and obey or you will disregard any thought of listening and obedience and go about doing your own will and to whatever outcome it may bring to you. Peter has sent a clear warning to the believers in the church. He has seen both sides of the warnings from Jesus as he walked with him: Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees, which is hypocrisy, “ Watch out!” Jesus warned them. “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” Matt. 16:6, and beware of the wolves, “Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves.” Matt. 7:15, “Watch out that you are not deceived.
