     | 1,985 views

    Many today, seeing Western culture disintegrate as it abandons Christian living and teaching, tell us that serious Christians need to flee the cities and establish new Christian communities of virtue.

    Tuesday of the 33rd Week in Course 2019 Saints Severinus, Exuperius, & Felician The sources tell us that Marcus Aurelius “was Roman emperor from [AD] 161 to 180 and a Stoic philosopher.

     | 1,653 views

    There are a number of repercussions instituted by God as a result of the fall. Most movements in our culture today are opposition to this curse. What we fail to understand as a society is the masterful weaving of grace in the curse.

     | 2,376 views

    Church congregations need to withstand storms: changes in membership, changes in leadership, differing political situations, changes in culture, and a host of potential challenges. Church congregations need to be strengthened and reinforced.

    Built to Last (Romans 16:1-27) Intro 1. My kids just got a puppy that is scared of every appliance in the house, but one in particular. I suggested they name the dog, “Nature.” Because nature abhors a vacuum. 2. Appliances are not what they used to be. Old appliances were built to last. 3. We had ...read more

    The Truth About Treasure Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 9, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,872 views

    We live in a culture that is consumed with possessions and wealth. In fact, most are judged more by what they have accumulated than the character they possess. It seems as if most can never get enough.

    The Truth about Treasure Matthew 6: 19-24 In our text, Jesus addresses an issue that was prevalent in His day. He was surrounded by many who sought worldly gain. They were often preoccupied with acquiring material wealth and possessions. We too live in a culture that is consumed with possessions ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 465 views

    The Church was never meant to be a museum of saints but a barracks for soldiers. We were not called to maintain comfort, status, or cultural approval—but to advance the Kingdom against the very gates of Hell.

    Matthew 16:18–19 (NKJV) “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on ...read more

    We live in a world made with many different peoples, languages and cultures. Among these people are different religions. The diversities are too great to fathom the idea of one people.

    So much of what comes “naturally” to us is shaped by sin, self, and the culture around us. But what the Holy Spirit compels us to do—that is divine wisdom at work.

    Go! And Walk in Godly Wisdom - James 3:13–18 (A Sermon in the “Go! And…” Series) Introduction Good morning, Church. Today I want to begin with a quote from Dr Charles Stanley. He once said: “Earthly wisdom is doing what comes naturally. Godly wisdom is doing what the Holy Spirit compels us to ...read more

    Lessons From The Prodigal’s Father

    Contributed by Joseph Marshall on Sep 3, 2025
     | 408 views

    Within these verses, Jesus paints a picture of a father whose character and attributes transcend time and culture, providing a model for all who desire to nurture, guide, and love with depth and grace.

    On Father’s Day, as we pause to celebrate and honour the men who help shape our lives, the parable of the prodigal son found in Luke 15:11-32 (KJV) offers a profound portrait of fatherhood. Within these verses, Jesus portrays a father whose character and attributes transcend time and culture, ...read more

    How should we live in a world that is hostile to Christianity? Not by adopting the culture around us uncritically, nor by rejecting the world completely, but by engaging with the world while guarding against sin.

    This morning, we continue with our study of First Peter. As a reminder, 1 Peter is a general epistle, meaning that it was a letter written to Christians in general, rather than to a specific church body. The first verse of the letter tells us that it was written: “To God’s elect, exiles scattered ...read more

    Explore the joy of singing, praying, and reading the Scriptures as forms of worship, and to encourage believers to express their faith in ways that reflect the Christ within them more than the culture around them.

    Good morning, brothers and sisters in Christ. It's a blessing to gather here together with joyful hearts to praise our Lord. I'm reminded of a quote from A.W. Tozer, who once said that, "Worship is no longer worship when it reflects the culture around us more than the Christ within us." Today, ...read more
