Joshua 1: The Times, They Were A-Changin’ Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 19, 2024

This is the first message in a series based on the Book of Joshua. In this first chapter, Joshua received some very encouraging news from the LORD which helped him lead Israel to the Promised Land.

Introduction: Change happens. There’s no doubt about that. Way back in 1964, Bob Dylan recorded a song called “The Times They Are A-Changing (which I’ve never heard)”, talking about various things. In the text, we see that in just 40 years, Israel had seen any number of changes. They had ...read more

Part 1 of a 2-part sermon that examines the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus as he prayed for God’s glory to be displayed in his life, and as he prayed for victory for the disciples who will carry the work forward on his behalf.

By show of hands this morning, let’s see how many of you remember these catch phrases from your childhood (my guess is that you responded to these, like I did, with an exaggerated eye roll but now you say some of them yourself): • Money doesn’t grow on trees. • Were you born in a barn? • They sure ...read more

Exodus 8:1 - 11:10 The Plagues

Contributed by Carl Willis on Apr 18, 2024

This story isn't really about Moses, it's not really about the Israelites, and it's not really about the Egyptians; it's about God revealing himself to men and it's about God dealing with the condition of men's hearts.

We are in Exodus chapter 8 this morning, and we're actually going to go through chapter 11, so you'll want to order a pizza. I'll try to get any of you out of here by five o'clock this evening; it's going to be a long one. Alright, now we'll try and keep it short, but what ...read more

Exodus 4:1-17 Equipped For The Call

Contributed by Carl Willis on Apr 21, 2024

God has called Moses to deliver His people. Now God equips Moses with everything he will need to fulfill the calling on his life.

To make the fourth chapter of Exodus more understandable, we need to backtrack and understand the backstory. In most great stories, there's a backstory, and once you're clear on that, everything else makes more sense. So, if you would turn with me to Exodus chapter 3, we're going to ...read more

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on May 6, 2024

Do we have the right to reinterpret Paul's inspired qualifications for elders and deacons, adapting them to a sinful society? Let's find out in 1 Timothy 3.

Do we have any authority to ignore Paul’s inspired qualifications for elders and deacons? Do we have any authority for man-made requirements? Do we have any authority to ordain women as elders?
