Welcome to More Like The Master!
Our desire is two-fold:
1) That you will discover the Master - Jesus Christ! Romans 10:9-10 says that if you will say with your mouth "Jesus is Lord" you will be saved. Jesus is Lord, but He wants to be YOUR Lord.
2) That as a Christian, you will endeavor to become more like Him! As a Christian, you have the Holy Spirit inside of you. Through His power alone you can become "conformed into the image of His Son" (Romans 8:29). That is, you will become "more like the Master"!
Please enjoy this website, including sermons, books and other resources that will help you in your Christian journey.

"Nothing is as wonderful as knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have given up everything else and count it as garbage. All I want is Christ and to know that I belong to Him...God accepted me simply because of my faith in Christ." (Philippians 3:8-9, CEV)
