Our Encouraging God (Joshua 8:1-29) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 31, 2021

After the setback at Ai, God encourages Joshua, and nudges him back toward Himself, and the job at hand. God is good, and loving, and encouraging.

Many of us can read the exact same words in the Bible, and draw completely different understandings from it. Some of you, when you hear me say this, think I'm talking about how Christians argue over meaning and interpretation. But I'm actually talking about tone. Let's open to ...read more

In Christ Alone - Philippians 3:3b-8 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Feb 3, 2022

The true people of God are those who serve God by means of the Holy Spirit (living the Christian life by exposing ourselves to the Spirit’s influence and cooperating with what he does) and who glory in Christ alone, rather than putting any confidence in the flesh.

Believing In Jesus Is Not Enough (John 8:12-59) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 7, 2022

In John, there are a cluster of verbs Jesus wants from us, to be full disciples, and we have to hold them all together. If we focus too hard on "believing," we will misunderstand Jesus, and what he wants.

Last week, we read just two verses from John 8, spending the rest of our time in Leviticus 23 and Exodus 13. I scratched my itch to get back to the OT, and I'm ready to take another shot at this. I say that, but this is probably the most depressing chapter (I hope!) in the entire gospel of ...read more

The Sons Of God: An Introduction (Psalm 82:1-8) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 14, 2022

In the OT, the "sons of God" are God's heavenly family, given authority over the nations of the earth (Deuteronomy 32:8-9). An introduction to who they are, and where they went wrong.

For maybe four or five weeks, we are going to take a break from the gospel of John, and start a new mini-series calls "Sons of God." My guess is that everything you hear this morning is going to be new to you. And you aren't going to know what to do with it, or how to handle it. ...read more

Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (8 Of 16)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

Today we want to take the seventh test that John gave us to see if we really know the Lord.

So far we have taken: 1. THE ATTITUDE TEST 2. THE ACTION TEXT 3. THE AFFECTION TEST 4. THE ACTUALITY TEST 5. THE ADULTERY TEST 6. THE ANTICHRIST TEST So many folks may say they KNOW THE LORD, but, if they can not pass the tests John gives, they do not really know the Lord. The Lord Jesus ...read more

Religion And Politics - Ecclesiastes 8:1-9:1 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Mar 23, 2025

One of the most aggravating parts of living in a fallen world is dealing with corruption in government and other authorities who misuse their power—especially when that abuse of power hurts you personally. This passage teaches us how to keep enjoying life even in the face of abuse of authority.

8:1 Who is like the wise person, and who knows the interpretation of a matter? A man's wisdom brightens his face, and the sternness of his face is changed. 2 Keep the king's command because of your oath made before God. 3 Do not be in a hurry; leave his presence, and don't persist in a ...read more

Don't Forget God (Deuteronomy 8)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Dec 26, 2024

Do we, like ancient Israel, have a tendency to forget God? Let's look at Deuteronomy 8.

Are we much different than the ancient Israelites? Do we also easily forget God? Do we think our blessings are from our own abilities? Let’s look at Deuteronomy 8. What was an important thing to remember all their lives? Is it also important for us? Be careful to observe every command that I’m ...read more

We read in Genesis 17:1, When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am the Almighty God. Obey me and always do what is right.

Prayin’ Like A Pagan - Matthew 6:7-8 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 30, 2024

How would you naturally finish this sentence: “God already knows what you need before you ask him, therefore ____.” The conclusion Jesus finishes that sentence gives us great insight into how to pray in a way that truly communes with God, rather than just saying dry words.

Matthew 6:5-8 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your ...read more
