Sermon # 9 - Arise From Your Slumber Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 18, 2024

Just as Jonah slept through the raging storm there were others in the Bible who also slept for various reasons. Today if the church does not wake up and continues to be in slumber of any sort, we will become easy targets of the evil one.

We read in Jonah 1:5-6, And the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it unto them. But Jonah was gone down into the innermost parts of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. So the shipmaster came to ...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

A Rebuke To Forgiveness-Only Salvation

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Sep 30, 2025

This is a challenging passage. Surely Paul doesn't mean that we have to actually live like that?! What it all points us to is a false gospel that is too often preached today - "forgiveness-only" belief. What does this passage tell us about what real salvation looks like?

A COMMON BELIEF TODAY: I am “saved” and unchanged. - Matthew 7:15-20; Matthew 7:24-27; Luke 13:6-9; John 15:8. - This passage makes us uncomfortable. It sounds harsh and unrealistic. We will delve into how we are to understand it as we move forward. - A good place to start is a major reason why ...read more
