The Certainty Of Death For Modern Society

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 14, 2012

New Beginnings Series

Contributed by Tim Zoltowski on Jan 2, 2016

We are often disappointed with new beginnings, especially with our resolutions to change in the coming year. The reason might be that we are looking to change the wrong things. We look at circumstances instead of looking at who we are within.

Happy New Year! Some have heard me say before that this is my favorite time of year. It is … it feels sorta like we can start over … doesn’t it? In some ways we feel like we are starting fresh and because of this everything is possible. We haven’t done anything or failed ...read more

Vessels Of Honor

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 5, 2019

Paul spoke of various vessels within a great house. We are all vessels, belonging to the Master. Each vessel is different, and yet each has potential and is expected to be of use. We are either a vessel of honor or dishonor.

Are You A Believer Or A Receiver?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Sep 29, 2019

There is a growing belief within the church that a person who is a believer in Jesus is considered a Christian and has therefore been given eternal life after they say the "sinners prayer." This is an in-depth multipart message

This belief stems primarily from the notion that because Jesus ‘chose’ the Disciples, they were now the ‘saved’ elect, including Judas, which is why they were able to perform healings, miracles, and casting out demons in Jesus’ name. It is true that Judas was one of the multiple disciples Jesus ...read more

Called For A Change

Contributed by Perry Greene on Apr 17, 2018

God has chosen us in and by Jesus to become fully devoted followers of Jesus and to make fully devoted followers of Jesus. We are challenged within ourselves; by God; and from outside of ourselves to accomplish these two goals.

Having Done All, Stand Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 29, 2020

Not unlike other churches within the first century, Thessalonica faced much adversity and opposition. They were relentlessly attacked for their faith in Christ. However, Paul encouraged them to remain steadfast in the faith, standing firmly for the Lord.

Having Done All, Stand 1 Thessalonians 2: 14-16 It has been a few weeks since we began to study this powerful letter to the Thessalonian church. Our last encounter revealed Paul encouraging the church to be an imitator of Christ rather than a pretender of the faith. He exhorted them to a life ...read more
