God's Stewards Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Nov 10, 2025

A life with Jesus is fraught with the struggle between master's. In the parables and teachings of Luke 16, Jesus urges that we should serve God as his stewards with our resources, righteousness, and relationships.

Over the last couple of weeks we’ve been able to learn about the ways that God considers us and how He searches for us and welcomes us when we come home, when we truly repent. While life with God is one of peace and rest because of His great love for us and because of Jesus’ substitutionary ...read more

God meets depressed hearts with presence, truth, rest, and hope, offering Himself as the deepest answer to our soul’s unspoken longings.

Most of us remember that upbeat theme song from the old television show Friends — the one with the snapping fingers and the chorus that keeps repeating, “I’ll be there for you.” But if you’ve ever listened closely, the song basically describes a life falling apart. The singer talks about how ...read more

John 8:2-11 The Stone Dropped: How Jesus Turned A Legal Trap Into A Call For Self-Examination

Contributed by Ellick Wu on Jan 6, 2026

Now we come to study John 8:2-11. A familiar story about “The Woman Caught in Adultery” and the well-known phrase, “He who is without sin throws the first stone.” Let’s explore the Hypocrisy in the Temple that day, and challenge the judgmental spirit alive in our world today.

Imagine the scene: The temple court is quiet, filled with people eager to hear Jesus teach. But the peace is about to shatter. Suddenly, a group of powerful religious leaders storms in, dragging a terrified woman to the center. They haven't come for justice; they've come to set a trap. They ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 14, 2026

The new generation is given the same 2 options as their ancestors: return to me, and I will return to you. This generation makes the right choice-- will we?

Today, we begin a new series in the book of Zechariah. What I like to do, at the start of each series, is recommend a book to all of you, that you can work through as we work through the book.

Oh God, You Devil PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 27, 2025

Following Jesus means embracing His challenging teachings, trusting Him even when it’s hard, and letting His words transform us beyond our comfort and preferences.

Some of the most life-giving words Jesus speaks are also the ones that make us swallow hard. You’ve felt that, haven’t you? You’re reading the Bible in the early hush of morning, coffee cooling by your chair, and a sentence seems to stand up from the page. It has weight. It has heat. It asks ...read more
