"It Is More Blessed To Give Than To Receive”

Contributed by Barnabas Park on Aug 22, 2025

The generous support of the Philippian church reminds us that giving is more than charity—it is worship. Meeting the needs of others becomes a fragrant offering to God, bringing Him glory as we reflect His character and Christ’s love, while also allowing us to experience God’s abundant provision.

“It Is More Blessed to Give than to Receive” Philippians 4:15–20 15 Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only; 16 for even when I ...read more

The Art Of Living With Disagreements

Contributed by David Owens on Sep 1, 2025

Disagreements are inevitable, but how we handle them makes all the difference. In this sermon, we explore four suggestions for developing the art of living with disagreements.

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 22, 2025

Every day, we wake up, and choose whether we will put on our old way of life-- the ratty, stained, lifestyle-- or if we'll put on the new clothing of righteousness. Choose the clean clothing.

Over the last couple of weeks, we've seen Paul starting to pull his entire argument in Ephesians together. God is in the process of creating one holy family, who will live in peace with Him and with each other.

Fired Up: From Anger To Action

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

Anger shows up—on the road, at home, at work. Psalm 37 teaches us not to “burn” (fret) but to trust, wait, and do good. The bible distinguishes anger that seeks justice from anger that seeks control. Trust God’s justice, practice meekness, and pursue peace in Christ.

Road Rage Let me ask you a simple question: “When was the last time you got angry?” Maybe it was this morning when that driver cut you off in traffic. Maybe it was last night when your teenage kid rolled their eyes at you one too many times. Or maybe you’re angry right now about something deeper - ...read more

Spiritual Zombies, Arise! (Ephesians 5:3-14) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 29, 2025

When we are saved, we move from death to life. When we go back to our old way of life, we become as a people who are dead, living in the dark. Paul urges, rise from the dead, and let Jesus' light shine on you again.

This week, we continue our Ephesians study, and we find ourselves picking up midstream in Paul's argument. What we've seen up to this point, is that God is a good and loving God, who acts rightly toward his people, showing them grace and kindness. And God is the process of creating one ...read more
