God Is Flexible (Exodus 4:1-18) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 28, 2021

Exodus 4 paints a picture of what a genuine relationship with God should look like. God values us, and our input, and He's flexible in how He carries out his plans.

Today, we continue reading about when God and Moses meet. And, again, this is not simply a meeting. This is a commissioning. A calling. But what we've seen, is that Moses has no interest in being called. He has questions, concerns, and protests. In a perfect world, I would've been ...read more

The Christian & Military Service

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Feb 6, 2003

This is an examination of what the Word of God teaches about the Christian’s participation in the military and carnal warfare.

Contributed by Brian Atwood on Feb 26, 2003

First sermon in series "Living Life on Purpose - Christ’s Answers to Man’s Questions". This is a question from John the Baptist.

Christ’s purpose-driven life was constantly arousing the curiosity of onlookers.

Jesus used ...read more

Sabbath To Sunday

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Jun 8, 2004

This is a study which shows that Sunday is the Divinely-instituted day of worship for the Lord’s Church under the New Covenant as opposed to the Sabbath.

For those who sincerely wish to please the Lord by doing His will, determining which day is the proper day on which God’s people should come together to offer worship is quite crucial. Scriptural and historical evidences provide a firm foundation for concluding that the Lord’s Church should ...read more
