What’s So Amazing About Grace? Series

Contributed by Paul Barreca on Apr 12, 2013

This story of Judah and Tamar reminds us that God’s grace comes in spite of our sin - even through our sin. Grace overcomes the mess that we make of our lives and provides us with something that we could never provide for ourselves.

There are many passages in the Bible that are difficult to preach. Genesis 38 is right up there at the top of the list. It’s not BORING It’s not DEEP THEOLOGY It’s not IRRELEVANT Simply put, it’s TOO RACY! But the story must be told, because it’s an amazing story about GRACE. The story concerns ...read more

Mary A Terrific Teenager

Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Dec 3, 2019

The Roman Catholic Church has defied this young girl and in response, many Protestants have demoted her as some kind of second-class servant of God. This is wrong because she, like her Son, was one of God's suffering servants.

MARY - THE TERRIFIC TEENAGER Luke 1:26-38 A remarkable thing about God is that he trusts us with His work. He trusted men and women in Bible times to receive and record His revelations of Himself. He entrusted His church with His supreme revelation, Jesus, and with the great commission ...read more

Sermon # 25 - God Who Heals Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 6, 2025

Health and long life are God’s precious gifts to us. The life of King Hezekiah is a great reminder that God hears our prayers and brings healing to our bodies. No matter what the illness we or someone close to us is struggling with, know that Jesus is our healer.

I will heal you, and in three days you will go to the Temple.” (GNB) King Hezekiah was really sick, and near ...read more

The Four Faces Of Obedience

Contributed by John Gaston on May 17, 2023

Christianity is not just a set of beliefs. James said the demons believe and tremble, but their belief doesn't save them, because they don't OBEY God. Our faith should cause us to walk, stand, live, and obey.
