Faith Never Fails: It Is Imperishable PRO Sermon

The sermon calls believers to courageous, costly obedience, trusting God’s sovereignty even when outcomes are uncertain, inspired by Esther’s example of sacrificial faith.

There’s a holy hush that falls over a room when courage walks in. Not the loud kind that shouts to be seen, but the quiet courage that prays in whispers and stands when knees are weak. We know this courage. We’ve asked for it in hospital hallways. We’ve reached for it at midnight when the house is ...read more

Letting The Gospel Shine Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 25, 2011

1st Corinthians 11 is one of the most controversial and misunderstood sections of Paul's writings. We'll explore it using culture, context, character, and language to find out what Paul is and is not saying to the Corinthians and to us today.

The first thing to know about this section is that it is not about marriage or the role of women in the church. It is about having respect in worship for each other within our culture. Just prior, Paul was telling us to have respect for the conscience of others who are weak in terms of the freedoms ...read more

Man's Fickleness And God's Faithfulness Series

Contributed by Pat Damiani on Nov 23, 2009

In Isaiah 65 and 66, Isaiah presents the contrast between man’s fickleness and God’s faithfulness.

So far, we’ve spent five weeks in the Book of Isaiah, focusing on how Isaiah describes the “Day of the Lord”. As I’ve pointed out during that time, much of what Isaiah writes deals with various aspects of the “Day of the Lord”, so all we’ve really been able to do is to look at a few brief snapshots ...read more
