The Mystery Of Godliness

The message of Christ and His work on our behalf is a mystery of God. In fact, Paul speaks of this as "the mystery of godliness."

The Authority Of Jesus Christ Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Nov 23, 2022

Jesus Christ is central in our faith. The Old Testament looks forward to Jesus Christ. It has an attitude of anticipation. In the New Testament the really big claim is for the supreme authority of Jesus Christ.

When I was in college one of my courses included outdoor repelling down a sheer cliff. This is not what you normally do in college.

Sermon # 30 - We Are God's Temple Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 25, 2025

In the Old Testament the temple was the central place of worship. However, in the New Testament the focus is on the church, which is not a building, but a people of God who come together for teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayer.

We read in Act 2:46-47, And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, ate their food with gladness and singleness of heart, praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. ...read more

Heaven Is A Party Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jun 24, 2013

Heaven is party-central, and the party starts now, but doesn't get into full gear till we get to Heaven, or when Jesus returns--whichever comes first.

When Biblical writers speak of Heaven, they often use figurative language. I suspect the reason is that they’re trying to express heavenly realities with the limitations of human language. Trying to describe Heaven to us is like trying to describe this world to an unborn child. And so ...read more
