Not Even One Series

Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Aug 31, 2022

This sermon unpacks the concept of sin and how we have all been tainted by it, along with the freedom from it thanks to the forgiveness and redemption made possible through Jesus Christ.

If you were here this past week, you know that I just began a new sermon series entitled “Do Not Conform. Be Transformed.” It was based on Romans 12.1. Today we are starting to dig in to that series.

Can You Live However You Want, And Still End Up With Jesus? (Revelation 14:6-20) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 13, 2023

Ch. 14 gives three pictures, rooted in OT thought, of what God's wrath is like. All are (arguably) symbolic, but all are something to be avoided. An encouragement to be faithful, and endure suffering.

Can you live however you want, once saved? (Revelation 14:1-20) One of the main themes in the book of Revelation that we've seen, especially in the last few weeks, is that the church will suffer on earth. Revelation has described this suffering using a number of different images, and symbols. ...read more

A practical, no-rapture, academically rigorous reading of Revelation.

Today, we have the privilege of studying a passage, Revelation 20, that's been sharply debated by Christians for at least 1700 years. It's been understood, and applied, in shockingly different ways. I'm guessing that those of you who lean nerd, and are really into end times stuff, ...read more

Who Will Be Justified? Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Mar 11, 2024

The apostle spells out the means of man's justification and the one who is the judge of all.

2:10 “… glory, honor and peace…” Remember who they are? We just read about them in verse 7 above.

Is There Direct Evidence That Proves The Historicity Of Jesus?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jun 9, 2024

You may not like the answer....

You may not like the answer, but it is - NO! There is no direct empirical evidence (i.e., primary or reliable secondary sources) or absolute proof that Jesus existed. Unfortunately, to the chagrin of atheists and agnostics, there is no audio or video evidence of any person alive today who was there ...read more

He...is...risen!!!

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Apr 11, 2023

The resurrection story is capture in three words, "He Is Risen". The best news the world has ever heard came out of a cemetery, "He is risen!!! He is alive"!!!

Turn in your Bibles to Luke 24. The resurrection story is capture in three words, "He Is Risen". Christianity rises or falls on the resurrection story. If Christ did not rise from the dead, our faith is a colossal hoax, an absolute fraud. If Jesus did not rise from the dead, our songs and ...read more

The Thirst Of The Soul - Psalm 63 Part 3 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jun 23, 2025

One attribute of God you won't see in the theology books, even though it is mentioned more often in the Bible than other, more celebrated attributes, is the food-likeness of God. And before you laugh--consider how often God compares himself to food and drink.

Psalm 63:1-5 A Psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah. O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. 2 Therefore I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. 3 ...read more

Loving Leah

Contributed by Pastor Michael Threadgill on May 8, 2025

Leah, the first wife of Jacob, is one of the most overlooked figures in the Bible even though she may have felt weary or unwanted, God saw her, honored her, and made her fruitful. Her life is a powerful testimony to how God uses the overlooked to fulfill His greatest purposes.

Scripture: 16 Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17 Leah’s eyes were delicate, but Rachel was beautiful of form and appearance. 18 Now Jacob loved Rachel; so he said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel your ...read more

Anchored In Faith

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on May 20, 2025
