08 A Risen Redeemer Series

Contributed by Seth Lawson on Apr 25, 2025

Only the Risen Christ can make us holy, satisfying God’s justice and securing our hope.

What does it take to feel whole again? Maybe that’s not how we usually phrase it—but we’ve all felt the gap. The ache that comes from broken things. A fractured relationship. A shame we can’t shake. A hope we once held that didn’t pan out. Even though we smile through it, something deep inside ...read more

Finding Refuge In A World At War

Noah: God's Preacher In The Midst Of Perverse Times

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 2, 2023

Noah and the ark (Genesis 6-8) like everything else in Genesis, is authentic history with an authentic warning to get right with God before it is too late. It is a call from God for us to repent and be saved from the wrath to come.

When we read about the events of Genesis, Chapters 6-8, we forget that this is not a children's story, but an actual historical event recorded by Moses dealing with the effects of sin upon the world and the fact of God's certain judgment. Noah's task was to not only build the ark ...read more

Contributed by Derrick White Sr on Feb 14, 2026

This morning, we encountered the most notorious hypocrite in scripture. Judas Iscariot. The name Judas itself has become a kind of curse word for someone you can't trust.

"The Un-Named Woman" Series

Contributed by Donald Smith on Apr 28, 2003

If we have trouble expressing love, maybe it’s because we haven’t experienced forgiveness. We can learn much from Jesus and a woman with no name.

Yearning to touch Jesus and out of desperation, Jesus says to the woman, “Your faith ...read more

The Judas In All Of Us

Contributed by Leon Sanders on May 2, 2001

Judas, the man, was the sum total of the decisions that he himself made.As believers, we make some of the same decisions that effect not only ourselves, but to those to whom we are to reach for Christ.

Introduction: Many of us see The man Judas as a sinister precesence, someone who had an evil look or a devilish grin.
