    This sermon answers a question from a church member regarding polygamy and concubines.

    Note: This sermon was part of a series where I answered questions about the Bible submitted by the congregation. Question: Why did God leave polygamy of His people unchallenged? How did wives/concubines differ? Let me start with the second part of that question, because that is the easier part to ...read more

    Drop It All!

    In recent years, one of the biggest dangers to the church is that what was considered normal Christianity is now considered abnormal and what was not even considered Christianity at all is now become the norm and hub of our faith.

    Opening illustration: Show video “Leave: Follow.” Introduction: This is dizzying. If we read these verses honestly and thoughtfully, they really do take our breath away. And so I’m left at the end of these five short verses asking myself: “What just happened?” I don’t know about you, but it ...read more

    You may have heard of a rather pompous-looking deacon who was speaking to a class of boys about the importance of living the Christian life. “Why do people call me a Christian?” the man asked. After a moment’s pause, one youngster said, “Maybe it’s because they don’t know you.”

    Biblical view of marriage and family.

    An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. The instability of marriage as an institution and the continual increase of dysfunctional ...read more

    Learn how to get along as parents and children - and how to deal with a difficult boss at work in this practical guide to everyday living.

    At church everyone is at their best behavior (most of the time) - hair combed, attitudes straight (after the argument in the car on the way). We come in and look and act so pious and pure. But when does our real character reveal itself? At home - and sometimes on the job. Overbearing parents, ...read more

    We Christians face an immoral society with alternate lifestyles. How are parents to explain to their children the lifestyles of these people and how we should treat them? Despite our stand for godliness, we must still demonstrate the grace and love of Jesus Christ to those still lost in sin.

    God’s justice and faithfulness empower us to pray boldly, resist the enemy, and finish the year with steadfast faith and triumphant praise.

    Friends, as we gather today, I sense a hush of holy expectation. The kind that settles the soul and steadies the heart. The year has been full of peaks and potholes, headlines and heartaches, but here we are—still held, still hearing the whisper of a faithful God. Some of us carry victories we ...read more

    Zechariah #16: Superficial Religion Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jun 27, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,991 views

    This exposition of Zechariah 7:1-6 explores the issue of the inner motives behind our service to the Lord. How many people go to church, give their money, fast, etc. and are baffled by God's lack of response. Why is there so little power in the church? The text addresses all that.

    Intro Our text today is in Zechariah 7. Last week we examined the capstone of the eight visions.i The crowning of Joshua, the High Priest, was a symbolic act prophesying Messiah. Unlike any other, Messiah would be both priest and king. All the promises of God are yea and amen in Him.ii The eight ...read more

    Confidence For Worship Series

     | 11,184 views

    Our acceptance before God in worship is based on the sacrifice Jesus made at Calvary in our behalf. While we daily seek to please God in all we do, our confidence before God is in the cross.

    3.12.17 Intro I thought I was finished with our series on worship. But this week the Lord has dealt with me about something that is essential for entering into the fullness of worship that we have talked about. As you recall, in the last message we saw worship as more than a one-way declaration of ...read more
