    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,705 views

    The author of Hebrews has made the case that the New Covenant is superior to (and fulfills) the Old Covenant. What then are the requirements of this new covenant?

    Before we continue our study of Hebrews this morning, I want to take a moment to comment on our Gospel lesson found in Mark chapter 12. I love that short little story about the widow who placed her two coins in the offering. I love the way that Jesus so graciously commends this woman—not because ...read more

    C.S. Lewis quote: There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors and hail a ...read more

    Passion For God’s House

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 8, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,504 views

    This message looks at four reasons to have a passion for God’s house. First, it is a place to satisfy our passion; secondly, it is a place for all to take refuge; thirdly, it is a place of blessing; and last of all, it is a place we would rather be.

    I want you to think about how you feel whenever you decide to attend church. Do you dread going to church; do you feel complacent about it; or do you anticipate going to church with a fervent passion and desire? In our message this morning, we’ll view a passage from Psalm that’s said to be ...read more

    There is a good reason to avoid the near occasions of sin, but not even that is enough to make us the image of Christ.

    “What’s bothering you so much? After all, I didn’t kill anybody!” That lame excuse is often given to people who have seen another doing wrong. The wrong action could be anything short of murder. Maybe it’s a so-called “white lie,” told by somebody to ...read more
