The King is Coming
Mark 11:1-11 What would you give to know the future? If we could see the future, we could prepare accordingly. We’d know which roads are accident-free or how to invest for maximum gains.

Show Me Your Faith
James 2:14-26 It is good to be with you again today. Thank you for being there. Our study in James has brought us to the middle of chapter 2. Today’s lesson is the section where James discusses faith and works. This discussion is big, and it is hard for us to keep these two balanced. […]

Come and Sing
One of the things I enjoy about this season of the year is the music. Music expresses the whole range of human emotions, but especially JOY!
