Hebrews 3:1-6
How many of you have a Bible? Hold up your Bible. What a blessing it is to see people with their Bibles. It's a beautiful sight.

On Wednesday nights, we just settle in and try to dig deep in God's Word. I have a feel that those of you who come on Wednesday nights are really interested in getting the meat of the Word.

People just came from everywhere to see this man play baseball and to watch him hit the ball out of the park. So, in 1923, to accommodate the crowds who wanted to come see this slugger play baseball, they build Yankee Stadium and they called that stadium ''The House that Ruth Built.''
When I was a nine-year old boy, my dad was stationed during WWII in St. Petersburg, FL. My mom and I moved down there to be with him and we lived right across the street from the old Al Lang Field. It's not there anymore, but it's where the Yankees had spring training. As a boy I would go across the street to the field and watch the Yankees in spring training. I remem ...
