    In this sermon, we notice that Peter encourages his readers to remember to be grounded in the truth, to remember that many of the writers of Scripture were eyewitnesses, and to remember that the Bible is inspired by God.

    Introduction: A. The story is told of an elderly gentleman who was telling his friend about a new restaurant he and his wife recently visited. 1. He said, “The food and the service were great!” 2. His friend asked, “What's the name of the restaurant?” 3. “Gee, I don't ...read more

    For the 3rd Sunday in Lent, Year A

    This looks at the Biblical doctrine of the Trinity from the testimonies of the church fathers and from the Old Testament.

    In our lives we have many commitments, but our first and most immediate commitment is to the First and the Last.

    First and Last Revelation 1:4-8 Jesus said the last will be first and the first, last. This has made for a great rush for the end of the line. Everyone wants to be first, therefore, they claim the last position ... right? Wishful thinking. People still don’t want to wait and don’t like to wait. ...read more

    The church is under intense scrutiny in our modern culture. Many believe it is filled with hypocrites. As part of the body of Christ, we have an obligation to bear fruit consistent with our calling, while being an effective witness among the world.

    Character Traits of the Believer 1 John 2: 7-11 Luke 6:43-45 – For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
