    As one reads news articles from around the Christian community, it is hard not to notice that many churches and denominations seem to stepping away from "controversial" biblical teachings in favor of a world view version of the bible.

    Leviticus 26:1-17 Luke 4:16–21; 1 Corinthians 7:21–24; Galatians 6:7–10 I am Adonai your God. “‘Keep my Shabbats, and revere my sanctuary; I am Adonai. A Prophetic ...read more

    Life - real Life can be hard, but in the scale of eternity it is only for a moment and maybe if we spent more time seeking God’s guidance, if we spent more time trusting Him.

    It’s the 2nd Sunday of Advent - it’s just 17 days to Christmas Day. So let me ask you: Are you ready for Christmas? “Are you ready for Christmas?” .... What question am I really asking you this morning.. When I ask are you ready for Christmas? Do you think I’m ...read more

    In confusing times of tragedy and loss like many Americans are facing at the present time, it is hard to make sense of it all. The Psalmist gives us encouragement to seek understanding and confidence in the "sanctuary" of God’s presence.

    The Source of My Hope Psalm 73 I heard on the news this past week that one of the outcomes of what has happened since the September 11th attack on America has been a rush on bookstores around the country. The sale of Bibles is up and that is good news. Alongside of this good news is the report that ...read more

    Why do we sometimes wait for God to "punish" us if we mess up as Christians? We are not under the law any longer, but under grace. And sometimes it’s hard to remember that.

    “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin ...read more

    "A Big Sigh Of Relief"

    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,543 views

    Religion that focuses only on the details of things you’re allowed or not allowed to touch or eat is dealing with worldly and perishable things. God is much bigger than that!

    Colossians 2:6-23 “A Big Sigh of Relief” As Christians, it seems like we are always trying to add more stuff... …rules, regulations, don’t do this, don’t say that… “…you gotta have this, you gotta have that…” But in our Scripture ...read more

    No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.

    Go! And Be Faithful with Eternal Treasure Luke 16:1–13 “The Steward of a Fortune” Imagine you were suddenly handed the keys to manage a billionaire’s fortune—not your money, but theirs. You could use it, invest it, distribute it—but one day, you would have to give an account. How would you handle ...read more

    You cannot be saved by your good works, because no matter how hard you try, your “Good” is not good enough for the perfectly holy and completely righteous God who alone grants salvation.

    TITLE: ONE FILTHY RAG TALKING TO ANOTHER FILTHY RAG SCRIPTURE: ISAIAH 64:6 / ROMANS 3:10 / ROMANS 3:23 / ZECHARIAH 3:1-4 The title of this morning’s message came from a rather exciting and spirit filled Bible Study we had here at ‘First Church’ a few weeks ago.
