If You Really Love Jesus . . . Series

Contributed by James Wallace on May 19, 2022

If you really love Jesus, then what? How will you show it? Do you show it? Jesus had specific answers for us in John 21.

Well, finally, some of you must be thinking, we come to the end of the Gospel of John.

Joshua's Final Words, Part 2 (Joshua 24:1-33) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2022

Joshua calls them to make a deliberate choice-- for Yahweh, or other elohim. And he warns them, they will fail, and God's wrath will come. That said, he and his family will serve Yahweh.

Last week, in Joshua 23, we read what we thought were Joshua's last words. They were, really. Just, it was only first half of his farewell. And the focus of those words was on the warning. As a reminder, I'm going to reread verses 14-16: 14 “And now I am about to go the way of all the ...read more

Aurelius Augustinus was born on November 13, 354 a.d. in Tagaste, Numbia … or what is known today as Algeria. We know Aurelius Augustinus today as ...read more

A Litmus Test Of Spiritual Well-Beng

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Mar 5, 2022

Using the analogy of a litmus test, this sermon juxtaposes the traits of arrogance over against the traits that reflect the DNA of love. It explores the inclusion of 1 Corinthians 13 sandwiched between chapters 12 and 14.

“Litmus test” is a process used to determine the nature of something. In the 14th century scientists discovered that litmus, a mixture of colored organic compounds obtained from lichen, turns red in acid solutions and blue in alkaline solutions and, thus, can be used as an acid-base indicator. ...read more

School is pretty much a reality. School is a reality all of life. You could probably say that really all of life is a school. The only problem is that sometimes we learn the lessons after we fail the exam, which is not too good. But that is the way it is. Fortunately, as we continue to look ...read more
