We have a clear message that must be told. A fishing adventure is always better when you share the journey. This lesson ...read more

    The question the writer of Hebrews asks is the question all of us ought to consider: How shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation? The Bottom Line: God is holy, and he must punish sin.

    INTRODUCTION As we are going though the book of Romans, it is important for us to keep in mind the historical context of the book. You know, we don’t do that very well in the twentieth century. We are very poor students of history, or we don’t really appreciate history the way we ...read more

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on May 15, 2011
     | 9,490 views

    Jesus was sent by the Father and Jesus then sent His disciples. How does Jesus’ calling connect with the church’s calling? How does God use the unique character of a local church to impact its community for the gospel?

    Let’s consider the purpose of Church at the Mission today? Why are we here? What is the mission of Church at the Mission? Our mission, why we are here and what we should be doing, is not something that we come up with ourselves. Who is the head of this church. It’s not me. It’s not Rick Tobias. ...read more
