  • What About Hypocrites?

    Matthew 23:13–36

    Acts 17:16–21

  • The Beauties of Heaven

    Revelation 21

    The greatest aspect of heaven is the presence of God. Our worship should serve as a brief taste of the glories of being in His presence. Remember as you go to public worship this Sunday that you are entering the ...Read More

    Matthew 13:24-43
