Contributed by Brian Bill on Nov 17, 2021

It’s costly to follow Christ, but the cost is worth it.

God Treats His People Better (Exodus 11:1-10) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 9, 2022

God doesn't treat all people the same. Also, bonus discussion of OT slavery-- it's not what you think.

The last few weeks, I've found myself struggling with the relentless nature of God's plagues. I don't really even have words to explain how working through this has affected me. But when you find yourself thinking about the plagues off and on during the day while you work, and then ...read more

4 Rs Of The Millennium

Contributed by Bobby Brewer on Jul 24, 2023

There’s lots of material available discussing the signs preceding Christ’s return but what exactly will happen when He does return? Not only did Jesus personally promise that He would return (Jn. 14:1-4, Acts 1:11) but that upon doing so, He would rule and reign.

He'll Leave The Light On For You Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 13, 2024

There are not that many people who are resurrected in the pages of the Bible. You can trace down every one of them in an afternoon’s sitting. It’s nearly exclusively the women who have this privilege.

Faithful And Unfaithful Servants (Isaiah 22:15-25; Revelation 3:7-13) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 22, 2025

Focus is on the "key of David" as being about access to David's house/kingdom. Jesus has this key. Also, a focus on how Rev. uses OT in a not-straightforward way. Prophecy-fulfillment is not a good core model to use.

Last week, we took a one week rabbit trail into the first part of Isaiah 22. Today, we'll begin by finishing off Isaiah 22, reading the second oracle in that chapter. I will then more or less smoothly transition back to Revelation, to the letter addressed to the church in Philadelphia. So ...read more
