25-Sep-16 Jeremiah 32:1-15 We’re looking this morning at a real estate deal, that under normal circumstances, would probably have been a fairly wise purchase.

But lest we begin to pity them for this unfortunate string of miserable kings, let us be reminded that the people of God were hardly the victims of […]
03-Jan-16 Jeremiah 31:1-14 Darkness is everywhere. Its not pretty. For many of us life is exceedingly difficult. We are afraid much of the time. We wonder how we will get along today and we are frightened about what tomorrow holds. Perhaps it is the time of the year. We are in the darkest period of […]
06-Dec-15 Malachi 3:1-4 It sounds like wonderfully good news. The Lord, whom we seek, will suddenly come to his temple. What a joyful dream! How wonderful it would be if the Lord came suddenly to his temple. How excited we would be! This is what we have long been hoping for. This is the day […]
