    This sermon focuses on sinful desires that culture uses to entice people to sin, and how through Christ we have the power and the responsibility to not yield to them.

    The world is watching how we as Jesus-followers respond to those who have authority over us. Does what they see enhance the cause of Christ or damage it?

    Somebody’s Watching How We Respond To Authority Living-Hope 1 Peter 2:12-23 We are in this section of our study of 1 Peter called, ‘Somebody’s Watching Us.’ The theme verse in 1 peter 2:12. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your ...read more

     | 2,628 views

    Have you ever heard someone say, 'I don't care what people think about me'? Should we care what people think about us? Well...yes and no.

    SHOULD I CARE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ME? John 8:48-54 Have you ever heard someone say, 'I don't care what people think about me'? Most of the time when I hear someone say this there's an edge to it, telling me that deep down they really do care; otherwise their tone would be ...read more

    Stupid Is As Stupid Does - Why People Reject Common Sense, Sound Doctrine, Facts, And The Truths Of God

    We are living in an insane world. People hold political power and make stupid laws and mandates. A person who uses reason, logic, and common sense often feels isolated amid all the madness

    "The stupid man cannot know; the fool cannot understand this: that though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever; but you, O Lord, are on high forever. For behold, your enemies, O Lord, for behold, your enemies shall perish; all ...read more

    Heaven Help My Home!

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 29, 2021
     | 2,274 views

    The word “honor” means to esteem your parents or to value them. The Bible calls on you to respect them. You don’t have to think your parents are marvelous. You don’t have to do everything they say once you are an adult. But you must honor them.

    If your home is anything like mine, see if this sounds familiar. You have more expenses than money. Your house isn’t anywhere near as clean as you would like it. You’re embarrassed by the messiness of your garage. You have not won “yard of the month” in a long, long time. There is more arguing than ...read more

    Our Christian conduct speaks volumes.

    An Exposition of 1 Peter, Part 11: A Good Conversation 1 Peter 2:11-12 Introduction Royalty has its privileges. We can think of England’s royal family, for instance.

    Living Under Authority Series

    We see the governing mandate, its mission and its means. Human authorities are used by God to achieve His sovereign purposes. We submit to Him and live as good citizens.

    I am not sure if you noticed this, we are always living under some kind of authority in life. • As children, we live under the authority of our parents. In schools, our teachers. At work, our superiors. In church, pastors and leaders. As citizens, our government. • None of these authorities is ...read more

    If That's The Way Christians Act, I Want Nothing To Do With Their God!

    Lost people often use our failure to live as we ought to justify their rejection of Christ. While we cannot excuse them, we must know that we do offend. Therefore, we require grace to honour God and to avoid giving offence to the lost.

    “Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.” ...read more

    What can Peter teach us about how to live the Christian life when the government persecutes us?

    The Christian and Governmental Authority 1 Peter 2:13-17 Introduction In the USA, where I live, there is no more odious word in the English language than “submission.” No one here wants to submit. They don’t want to submit to government. They don’t want to submit to their boss. Women don’t want ...read more

    The Bible says God expects you to show mercy to everybody. How are you supposed to do that?

    “Treat everyone you meet with dignity.” 1 Peter 2:17 (The Message) The Bible says God expects you to show mercy to everybody. How are you supposed to do that? Here are three simple, practical ways to be God’s agent of mercy in the world. 1.) Forgive people when they mess up “When people sin, ...read more

    What Does The Bible Say About The Christian’s Relationship With The Government?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 25, 2021
     | 3,574 views

    What do Paul and Peter have to say about the Christian and government? Is the church allowed to pursue the violent overthrow of secular governments? What should be our focus if it's not the accumulation of earthly power?

    - We are going to dig into a subject this morning that is challenging. We are going to be talking about church and state. It’s one we don’t talk about particularly often. - As we start, I want to acknowledge up front that these passages are difficult. I want to say that I don’t like everything ...read more

     | 2,036 views

    Sinners and the government are not the real problem. We are our own worse enemies refusing to clean ourselves up so sinners will want to be clean.

    Romans 13:1  Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.  2  Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves ...read more

    Bob Dylan famously wrote, "But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed you're gonna have to serve somebody." As disciples of Jesus, we must choose daily who gets to be king in our life. Which king do you follow?

    THE BATTLE IN THE DESERT (part two) Matthew 4:8-11 Last week we started looking into the temptation of Jesus in Matt. 4.
