Why Light Doesn’t Always Lead To Sight Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jul 21, 2025

John doesn’t blink when he says the ultimate reason the Jewish people don’t believe is because of God. What you are seeing in Jesus’ ministry is the same that Isaiah saw in his ministry. God has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts.

One of the biggest challenges for the early Christian leaders was how many Jews were rejecting Jesus. The first two things Jesus’ disciples say about him in the Gospel of John are “We have found the Messiah” (John 1:41). And, “We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, ...read more

Truly Following Jesus Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 18, 2025

There are a variety of reasons why some people follow Jesus - some for benefits, some to slander, some to argue, some bandwagon followers, but what does it take to be a true follower of Jesus?

It seems like nearly every week I run into people who have some sort of faith. They say that believe in Jesus or at least call themselves Christians, but don’t attend a church. Their faith is very personal, private, and even comfortable. They choose to follow Jesus on their terms, as long as He ...read more

Beware Of Hypocrisy Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 25, 2025

In His encounter with Pharisees and Scribes, Jesus discusses the characteristics of hypocrisy. To His disciples He notes the promises of hypocrisy with a stern warning. And yet, in the gospel, we find great hope for hypocrites.

It seems like nearly every month (maybe even more frequently if we look hard enough), we receive news about some Christian leader who fails morally, gets caught, and is removed from ministry. Whether it’s pastors, professors, performers, or politicians - failure happens. We see hypocrisy ...read more

In Proverbs 8:17-21, in order to find The Way of Wisdom, in three ways we must 1) Pursue Purposefully (Proverbs 8:17-18), 2) Prioritize Priceless Treasures (Proverbs 8:19) and 3) Pledge to Walk Righteously (Proverbs 8:20-21).

Proverbs 8:17-21. 17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me. 18 Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness. 19 My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver. 20 I walk in the way of righteousness, in the paths of ...read more

2 Corinthians Series: Yoking Not Yolking Series

Contributed by Troy Borst on Sep 3, 2025

We are in the world and need to push, pull, and travel through this life with those who follow Christ. Our closest companions and partners and influences should belong Him; not of this world.

The Main Thing

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 20, 2025

Grip the gospel daily—remember, receive, redirect, rely—and the Spirit will help you guard God’s good deposit.

One of the typical characteristics of our children—maybe yours too—was that they enjoyed playing their music loud. Not just loud… LOUD. The kind of loud that rattles the drywall and makes the dog rethink his loyalty to the family. One day, while I was getting dressed, I heard music thumping ...read more

2 Corinthians Series: That Ain't Jesus Series

Contributed by Troy Borst on Oct 7, 2025

The Apostle Paul uses irony to engage the Corinthians’ attention, sarcasm to sting their heart and emotions, and satire to convince the Corinthians that false teachers have been misleading them and they are believing so-called truth about the Gospel that is not true at all.

The Great Omission Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Oct 13, 2025

To keep the Great Commission from becoming the Great Omission, we must live on mission by glorifying God and making disciples of Jesus in our families, among our neighbors, and among the nations.

The Great Omission Luke 24:44-49 Rev. Brian Bill October 11-12, 2025 A young boy asked his mother and grandmother to play with him in his new sandbox in the front yard.

The Book We Skip And The God We Need

Contributed by Scott Maze on Oct 27, 2025

How would you like to pray to this god to answer your desperate prayers each day? Prayer would be a gamble each and every time. If you were single and you were praying for love and marriage, this kind of mercurial god might give you Hannibal Lecter or Jeffrey Epstein for a boyfriend!

Find the book of Nahum with me, a small book with a massive view of God. You won’t wake up one day to find Nahum trending on social media. If the Bible were a playlist, Nahum would be the song you’d skip every time. It’s the book we totally ignore. But we shouldn’t ignore it. Here’s why you ...read more

In God We Trust

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 15, 2025

Jesus, the Second Adam, passed the test Adam failed—restoring trust, reversing the fall, and giving us victory through His obedience and sacrifice.

INTRODUCTION — THE TEST THAT NEVER CHANGED There are moments in Scripture when the veil between heaven and earth thins—when the stories we’ve read for years suddenly reveal a deeper thread running through them, binding Genesis to the Gospels, Eden to Calvary, Adam to Christ. These moments don’t ...read more

When Loyalty Breaks Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 27, 2025

Psalm 109 reveals God’s compassion for the betrayed, turning wounds into prayer, surrendering justice to Him, and finding refuge in Christ’s faithful presence.

INTRODUCTION — THE WOUND YOU DON’T SEE COMING There are many kinds of pain in life, but betrayal has a unique flavor. It is the kind of pain that doesn’t scream — it leaks. It shows up in subtle ways: your appetite changes, sleep slips away, and you walk through familiar rooms feeling like ...read more

Unshared Unrivaled Unequaled

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 10, 2025

Christ alone is the unshared, unrivaled, unequal Rock; surrender means stepping off the throne of self and letting Him reign today.

There’s a certain comfort, isn’t there, in imagining that somewhere out there is a man who carries the weight of spiritual certainty on his shoulders. He sits robed, enthroned, vested in centuries of tradition and expectation. His words ripple across continents. His gestures become symbols. His ...read more

In Praise Of Our Reliable God (Psalm 40:1-17) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 27, 2025

We sing songs to the God who can be trusted to pull us out of the pit, and put us on dry ground. Part of what "faith" is, is choosing to have confidence that God will come through for us.

Today, we have the privilege of working through Psalm 40. Let's start by reading verses 1-4 (Hebrew numbering throughout, my apologies): Of/for the director. Of/for David. A Psalm. (1) Surely, I waited for Yahweh, and He stretched out to me, and He heard my cry for help, (2) and He ...read more
