The Uncomfortable Christ

Contributed by Jessie Manuel on Aug 11, 2025

What kind of fire is Jesus talking about? Is this the fire of judgment? The fire of hell? The fire of destruction? I don't believe so. This is the fire of purification, the fire of truth, the fire that burns away what is false so that what is true can shine forth.

OPENING Good morning, church family. I want to begin today with a story that might help us understand something profound about the nature of Christ's ministry. Last summer, I had the opportunity to speak with a forest ranger in Colorado. As we drove through a section of the national forest, I ...read more

31. Romans Chapter 7 Verses 15-25 - Messages In Romans – Gentiles Are Not Part Of Chapter 7 – Not The Battle Of The Two Natures - Message 31 Part 3 Of 3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 17, 2025

We conclude Roman 7 - the experience of a devout man under the Law trying to keep the Law - but always being defeated. Finally, victory in in the Lord Jesus. Chapter 7 is not a Christian battling sin. The Christian is NOT in this chapter. To say so has confused the whole matter.

14. The Rejection Of Saul: Obedience Over Sacrifice Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Aug 27, 2025

Have you ever told yourself, ‘God knows my heart,’ while deliberately doing something He’s already told you not to?” We often give ourselves credit for partial obedience—as if God should be pleased with most of our compliance.

The Wages Of Sin Is 'aaaughh!' Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Oct 13, 2025

Sin always pays its wages — and the result is death. We all run somewhere when confronted with our guilt — but where we run makes all the difference. Temporary fixes and “spiritual tourniquets” cannot save us; only Jesus can bring true healing and freedom.

### **Introduction – “AAAUGHH!”** Video Ill.: Goulash — The Skit Guys It has been a few weeks since we started our series The Gospel According to Peanuts, so let us take a moment to remind ourselves where we have been and why we are here.

House Of Mirrors Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Oct 14, 2025

God didn’t hide Judah’s story. He redeemed it. And He can redeem yours too. In fact this might be where God is just getting started in your life.

Today, we’re looking at a story in Genesis about Judah, the fourth son of Jacob (Israel) and great-grandson of Abraham. Last Sunday, we were studying Joseph, Jacob’s favorite son — so it may seem strange that Moses suddenly leaves the story of Joseph to tell us what’s happening in the life of ...read more

Scheming Without A Schematic Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 17, 2025

When human design collapses, God’s blueprint restores; the Divine Draftsman rebuilds lives and cultures through grace, purpose, and renewed imagination.

(Finding the Blueprint Again) --- 1. The Great Design Problem We live in a world obsessed with building things—apps, ideologies, identities, futures. Every headline feels like a pitch deck: Here’s how to fix the world. Our confidence is architectural; we assume that with enough data, diversity, ...read more

Life From The Son

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 17, 2025

Worship is the soul turning toward Christ’s light—adoration that becomes transformation, joy that becomes service, life aligned with divine love.

The Flower and the Smile: What Worship Really Is There are moments when a question feels too obvious to ask and yet too heavy to ignore. One of those questions has followed me for years: Why does God want our worship? If He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-sufficient, why would He want—much ...read more

Contributed by William Akehurst on Oct 25, 2025

Something Obvious I Missed For Years

15. The Kingdom Parables – The Fourth – The Leaven – Part 2 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 1, 2025

This message looks at several comments and opinions and proves that the Parable of the Leaven is that of evil permeating the Church and the world. It brought in a corrupting influence. Leaven is never good! What is the woman, and three measures and the meal in this parable?

15. THE KINGDOM PARABLES – THE FOURTH – THE LEAVEN – Part 2 We are doing a series on the Kingdom Parables of Matthew 13 and this message continues the fourth one, the LEAVEN. In the last study, we looked at the biblical mentions of leaven to see that it always stood for evil without exception, ...read more
