Maybe in your upbringing you were introduced to a god who scared you and this was reinforced as you read those violent stories in the OT. Does a fear of God turn you away him? The language that ...read more

Restrained Power Series

Contributed by Fred Sigle on May 20, 2024

A study of the Beatitudes. Jesus begins His sermon on the mount answering the question: "What will it take to make you happy?" His answer, however, is far different from the way most people will answer. In fact, his answers appear to bring sorrow, not happiness.

What Is God Waiting On?

Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 7, 2017

One of the hardest things to do is wait on God. But what if God is waiting on you? This message pivots off of Isaiah 30:18 and explores that possibilities and its implications for us.

I know God is omnipotent—so if the answer is not coming, it’s not because He’s unable to do it. The problem is ...read more

We Praise The Name Of Yahweh (Psalm 135) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 27, 2025

A sermon I wrote, while wrestling with what Michael Heiser teaches in The Unseem Realm about the Name of Yahweh being Jesus.

Today, we continue our very sporadic and haphazard study of the psalms, by turning to Psalm 135. This is a beautiful psalm-- it's the type of psalm that lends itself to being used as an opener for Sunday morning worship. I hope today that you'll leave differently, in two ways. The first, ...read more
