Witnessing To Postmodern People

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

This message discusses postmodernism. In today's moral relativism, truth is seen as subjective, and it can supposedly change with circumstances. So, how do we share about Jesus who is "the way, the TRUTH, and the life?"

Our message this evening is entitled, “Witnessing to Postmodern People.” As we seek to understand how to better share our faith in today’s western culture, we must begin with a discussion on modernism and postmodernism. Modernism and postmodernism are eras, or time periods of societal thought and ...read more

Diverse Yet One Blood

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Dec 30, 2024

All men are my temporal brothers through the Creation. Some men are my eternal brothers through the new Creation.

The Problem With Racism Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 24, 2025

During the days after the Civil War up thru the 1960s, there were many "Christians" in the U.S. who embraced bigotry and mistreated the black people around them. Why would supposed Christians do that, and how do we protect ourselves from that kind of evil?

He once said: “The time is always right to do what is right.” Today, our sermon is going to be on racism, not because I think any of us are racist - but because, as Christians, we need to know what the Bible says about it. Martin Luther ...read more

The Greatness Of Our God

Contributed by Les Buttolph on Aug 15, 2025

Great is an overused word today, but right to describe our Great God. Awesome is even better

Watching the Browns’ exhibition game last week, I was very critical of the announcer’s overuse, even misuse of the adjective ‘great’. Ask Cathy.
