    The subjective ever-changing cultural mores continue to creep into the church to replace the Bible as the final and absolute authority in the life of the Born-Again Christian.

    The mother of a high school student told me that a few kids in the youth group said they were non-binary (also known as ENBY or NB) and were questioning the Bible about its two sexual gender emphasis. That disturbed me deep in my spirit which led to this message. I started ministry decades ...read more

    There was a wonderful atmosphere around Jesus: there was the prophetic, the counter-culture, the miracles, the crowds, the excitement. But not everyone liked it. The carnal tried to suppress the Spirit.

    THE CHARACTER ASSASSINATION OF JESUS Mark 3:20-35 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: ONE LINERS 1. My doctor asked if anyone in my family suffered from mental illness. “No,” I said, “we all seem to enjoy it.” 2. I thought the dryer made my clothes shrink. Turns out it was the refrigerator. 3. I went ...read more

    Most people in our culture assume that Heaven is a reward for the good. But the Bible says something very different: Heaven is not for the good—it is for the forgiven.

    God did not want Israel to live or look like all the other nations around her. How should we look different from the culture around us?  

    “Different” (Leviticus) Leviticus 18:1-5 Opening and Introduction For the past few weeks we’ve been looking at Israel and how God worked to bless them. We’ve looked at priests and sacrifices, the tabernacle and how it became the center of society. As we’ve gone through this journey, ...read more

    To move forward in our faith, we must go back to the beginning.

    Last spring, while we were crossing the new I-74 bridge, Beth made an astute observation about the old bridge. While our community was excited about the opening of the new bridge (and rightly so), the old one was being dismantled piece by piece, without anyone really paying attention. She said ...read more

    Christianity is the underpinning of western civilization, and as we jettison it for entertainment, nihilism, pleasure, and post-modernism, we unsurprisingly see a society tipping into chaos

    In our desperate search for what went wrong with western civilization, digging through layer after layer, social structures breaking down, norms shifting, confusion abounding, unrest spreading, and suicide flourishing, we search and long and cry out, "What has gone wrong!?" We think to ...read more

    When those who rule are unjust, how shall the Christian respond? David provides a model for godly response in this 58th Psalm as he encourages the godly to look to the Lord for His deliverance.

    TO THE CHOIRMASTER: ACCORDING TO DO NOT DESTROY. A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods? Do you judge the children of man uprightly?

    I fear too often we major on the minor things and neglect the greater aspects of our faith and service unto the Lord. Jesus confronted the hypocrisy and neglect of the Pharisees. This passage reveals similarities to the modern church.

    Clean Hands and Defiled Hearts Mark 7: 1-23 It has been a while since we’ve heard from the scribes and Pharisees, but they were a continual nuisance to the Lord as He ministered among the people. It appears they followed Jesus as often as they could, seeking any means to accuse Him and discredit ...read more
