Hypocrisy Series

Contributed by Jeffery Anselmi on Aug 5, 2022

If Christians really love Jesus, why is there so much hurt in the church? Jesus confronted the hypocrisy of religious people and desires that his disciples walk in love.

INTRODUCTION • In our new series, Hot Topics, we will dig into six tough topics that people inside and outside the church often think about (even if we don't ask about them out loud!): • If Christians love Jesus, why is there so much hypocrisy in the church? • How can we trust the Bible? ...read more

Foregoing Our Rights Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 8, 2022

Paul did not use his rights because of his concern for the witness of the Gospel and the welfare of the people he is reaching out to.

Everyone has rights. We can stand up for our rights. We ask for what we deserve. • Yet it is not always necessary for us to do so. There are times when we need to forego legitimate rights for a higher good. I came across what was trending two days ago – “Don’t Treat Us Like We Owe You a Living” – ...read more

The Unjust Steward

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 21, 2021

We have heard it said many times, in many places, by many people, “DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU.”

This would be a great place to live if everyone lived by this Bible principle. The fact is, many among us would be irate, to say the least, if others treated us the way we treat others.

Cs Lewis Style Observations About Reality

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Dec 28, 2021

If I may make a CS Lewis'esc observation about humanity: No one is really old. Every person ever born was always intended to be forever young, and has a soul which feels a natural inclination to always exist, thus aging and death is a profound surprise to us.

Hope Set Before Us

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 15, 2022

We need tradition to guide us, but often our traditions lie in the past fifty to seventy years. Our tradition should reach back further; like 2000 years ago! The anchor for our traditions should be in Jesus, not the inventions of men.

This evening we’re going to discuss the topic of “tradition.” If you have ever seen the musical “Fiddler on the Roof,” then you probably recall a rather large Jewish man singing about tradition throughout the entire performance. You may recall that tradition was a dreaded word to the young ...read more

Confidence During Uncertainty

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 21, 2022

Today I want to look at being confident in times of uncertainty. If anyone knows about uncertainty, it's our world today. You all know ...read more

The Injustices Of Life

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 18, 2022

Life can throw many hard things at us. We may even be tempted to let our hope in God fade. We want to scream, “Where is the justice?” As we move along a little further in Joseph's life God would want us to be encouraged that he will always see his children through.

Today I want to talk about the injustices of life. Have you walked through a season when you couldn't seem to catch a break? Did you ever wonder if good days would ever return? Maybe you lost a job around the same time a loved one died. Or you were going through a painful divorce just as ...read more

In the Bible, God and Jesus are repeatedly identified with light.

The Love And Hate Barometer

It is our love for one another that lets our light shine unto the world and boldly states we are Christians! In 1 John 3:11-18 John states if one is indifferent or hates a brother or sister then either one is not saved or is out of fellowship with God.

Grace Was Upon Them

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

God abundantly pours out His grace whenever His people run boldly to His throne and cry out for help. This message looks at four ways that grace worked in the lives of the apostles and believers in the New Testament church.

If I am tempted and afflicted with many tribulations, I will fear no evils while Your grace is with me. This is my strength. - Thomas à Kempis(1) In Hebrews 4:16, we’re told, “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of ...read more
