The Time of My Departure is at Hand

The Time of My Departure is at Hand (2 Timothy 4:6-8) In this sermon we are going to be looking at some of the words that Paul uses in verse 6. This is a great verse and it is used many times at funerals. But I often wonder just how many of the people that […]

It is Finished

It is Finished John 19:30 This is one of Jesus’ seven saying from the cross. The words “It is finished” are often called the words of victory. Jesus’ death on the cross is definitely a great part of the victory that we have through him but if we think about it for a moment there […]
