    Don't Overthink Truth

    Contributed by Don Campbell on Apr 20, 2023
     | 1,385 views

    Overthinking the truth can result in the paralysis of analysis or it can result in distorted truths that are torn from the context in which they were spoken and made to serve as handmaidens for many false doctrines.

    DON’T OVERTHINK TRUTH “Be not overly righteous, and do not make yourself too wise. Why should you destroy yourself?” (Eccl 7:16) INTRODUCTION A. Solomon is not suggesting a lukewarm relationship with God nor a lackadaisical pursuit of knowledge or wisdom, but we can overthink the truth, resulting ...read more

    Paul shows how to return and keep moving—admitting we haven’t arrived, forgetting what holds us, and pressing on toward Christ (Philippians 3:12–16). The direction is the point: let go of past wins and wounds, lean forward, and run because Christ already holds you.

    Last week, we kicked off our series "Back At It," and we talked about how Jesus meets us where we are, even when we've drifted back to our old ways. We looked at the story of Jesus cooking breakfast for His disciples on the shore, calling them back to their true purpose. Today, ...read more

    The Time To Seek The Lord

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 23, 2025
     | 570 views

    We are in a critical hour—an hour when the true worshippers must rise and seek the face of God. Revival will not come to those who are passive, distracted, or indifferent. It will come to those who cry out, break up their fallow ground, live in righteousness, and seek the Lord with all their hearts.

    THE TIME TO SEEK THE LORD By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Hosea 10:12 Supporting Texts: Isaiah 55:6-7, Psalm 63:1-2, Jeremiah 29:13, Amos 5:4, James 4:8 INTRODUCTION: We are living in a generation distracted by pleasures, pursuits, and pressures. Yet, in the midst of all this noise, God is ...read more

    A study of the Beatitudes. Jesus begins His sermon on the mount answering the question: "What will it take to make you happy?" His answer, however, is far different from the way most people will answer. In fact, his answers appear to bring sorrow, not happiness.
