The Problem With Racism Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 24, 2025

During the days after the Civil War up thru the 1960s, there were many "Christians" in the U.S. who embraced bigotry and mistreated the black people around them. Why would supposed Christians do that, and how do we protect ourselves from that kind of evil?

Martin Luther King Jr. Day was last Monday (1/20/25). He once said: “The time is always right to do what is right.” Today, our sermon is going to be on racism, not because I think any of us are racist - but because, as Christians, we need to know what the Bible says about it. Martin Luther ...read more

If God Is Love, Why Did He Hate Esau?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Nov 4, 2024

“Yet I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have HATED, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals’” (Malachi 1:2-3 NIV - emphasis mine)

The Bible is very clear that God’s essence is love (1 John 4:7-10). He has always been love, even before He created the first human beings. He has always sought to have a close relationship with them because they were made for this love. The entire story of humanity is wrapped up within it. Love is ...read more

The Bible Proof Of God’s Judgment

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jun 6, 2025

In America alone, there are approximately four hundred sects and cults, and all of them are teaching different things and they all claim they are teaching the Word of God.

That is IMPOSSIBLE! Let me illustrate… Illus: These different cults make you think of all these translations, paraphrases and perversions of the Word of God that are on the market today. All of these translations teach different things, and they all claim their translations to be the Word of ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 27, 2025

Before Peter passed to be with the Lord, he set out for the scattered Christians, pointers to recognise and refute false teachers who were gaining traction among Christians. He exposed these subversive agents of the devil. I am examining them, then adding cautions so we don’t follow.

Save Your Sheep

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 4, 2025

A call to reject restored sacrifices and shadows, embracing Christ’s finished work through the torn veil and shepherding believers toward the true Lamb.

There was a moment in ancient Israel every family knew too well. A father would step into the small pen behind the house. His children would stand at the doorway, quiet, watching.

The Peace Altar

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 20, 2025

God gives peace before the battle, speaks identity before performance, and empowers fearful people through His presence, not their strength.

Most of us assume peace comes after things change. After the diagnosis is clear. After the conflict is resolved. After the money situation stabilizes. After the fear finally loosens its grip. We tell ourselves, “I’ll have peace when the battle is over.” But the story of Gideon opens with a ...read more
