This week's message:
The Greatness of God
CS Lewis has said that the greatest sin is the sin of Pride. Many of us would agree. So it would seem that the way to counteract that would be to build up the opposite trait. Generally speaking, we think that the opposite of Pride is Humility. This is not wrong and it is good. We need to build up our humility. But too often, we do this by working hard to see how we are not as good as we think we are, or that others are better than we think we are. The problem is that we forget the most important truth when it comes to humility. It is not about me. It’s about God. We forget that we are so small compared to God. That the God who created all things knows so much more than we do. It is when we truly recognize the Greatness of God, that we become humble.

The Man from Heaven

Who we are...
We are a new church looking to build the Kingdom of Christ here in Suffolk County, Long Island. We are not your traditional church. Instead, we try to be relevant to everyone without watering-down the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our music is contemporary Christian. Our message is pertinent. Our service is enjoyable and interesting.
If you are looking for a new church or have never been to church before but would like to know what Jesus is all about, we invite you to come and visit us. We meet at the Long Island Sheraton Hotel on Sunday Mornings at 10:30AM in Hauppauge, which is in Western Suffolk County. Click here to find the directions to the Long Island Sheraton. Check the monitors to find out which room we are in.
You can also check us out at your leisure by perusing our "Vision Site" here. If you like what you see, then come visit us! You'll find a group of loving people who are happy to see you! |
Why did Jesus have to die?
If you're like most Americans, you believe that most people are going to heaven and the way we are getting there is by being good people. But what is good? What you might think is good, I might think is wrong. Even if we knew what "good" was, we don't know how good is good enough. Do I have to do one good thing for every bad thing? Or is it ten good things for every bad thing? Or is it 100? What if you miss by one good thing? Who knows the answer?
And in the end, when you're lying on your deathbed and I ask you, "Are you going to Heaven?" is the best you can say, "I hope so"? If so, that's one big hope, because if you're wrong, you are gambling with your eternal soul!
