Sermons on Hebrews

1 – Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.  2 – This is what the ancients were commended for. 3 – By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. 4 – By faith […]

Hebrews 2:10 – “God is the One Who made all things, and all things are for His glory. He wanted to have many children share His glory— —so He made the One Who leads people to salvation perfect through suffering.” (NCV) How many of you know what a metaphor is?

For the worshipers would have been cleansed once […]

I can’t believe it’s been nearly ten years—but it was back in the fall of 2007 when construction on the Inter County Connector began.

One of the most popular brands of TV commercials out there these days advertises Geico insurance—and in my opinion their commercials are usually very entertaining.
