May 04, 2008
Dr. John D. Morgan,
Senior Pastor
Proverbs 5:22, II
Corinthians 5:17
Is it possible for a
person to ever
change? Can one
become so ingrained
in a behavioral
pattern that is in
conflict with God's
will in their life
to ever make a
decision and come up
with a way to do the
will of God in their
life? The Bible says
nothing is too hard
for God! Change is
indeed possible but
one must be willing
to make the right
choices.

One of the traits in

Compassion is not an

Luke 15:20-24
The story of a boy

Luke 15:16-20
When a believer is
enticed by Satan to
leave the blessings
and provisions of
the Father’s house,
it usually takes a
crisis in the
believer’s life
before he comes to
himself and realizes
the costly mistake
he has made. The
next step after
realization of his
entrapment is the
imperative of
repentance that
leads to redemptive
action that

Why
Borrowing Is Not
God's Best |

November 04, 2007
Dr. John D. Morgan,
Senior Pastor
Good and best are
not synonyms. It is
always a temptation
to settle for good
and miss God’s best.
It may be considered
good by many to have
great credit which
allows almost
unlimited borrowing
but best is being
able to pay cash and
watch the
awesomeness of a God
who promises to meet
our every need.
Borrowing is never
God’s best! He is
willing to give to
all but not desiring
to lend to any of
His children or His

is family and then
friends. We need
each other and, when
our motives are
pure, we can have a
positive influence
on our friends and
they, too, can be a
good influence on
us. Jesus told us
what we can
reasonably expect
and also warns us of
the fact that none
of us are perfect
and if we start
expecting perfection
from a friend, and
that perfection
determines our
friendship, we will
