Saving Grace Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Oct 14, 2022

1) Abraham’s justifying faith did not come by his circumcision (Romans 4:9–12); it did 2) not come by his keeping the law (vv. 13–15); but rather 3) it came solely by God’s grace (vv. 16–17).

Romans 4:9-17. 9 Is this blessing then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness. 10 How then was it counted to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was circumcised. 11 He ...read more

The Missing Sheep And The Misplaced Silver

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 21, 2022

Are some Christians like missing sheep and misplaced silver? If so, what should we do?

In verses 1 - 2: Why were the Pharisees bothered and irate that Jesus related with these individuals?

What Christ’s Fulfillment Means For You - Matthew 5:17-18 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 27, 2024

How do you know what parts of the Old Testament law apply to you today? Why do we still obey the law prohibiting adultery but not the laws concerning stoning certain people to death?

The Greater Righteousness - Matthew 5:20-21 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 3, 2024

How can Jesus say anger is equivalent to murder? Killing a human being has such greater consequences and is so much more extreme. This message will show how the two sins have the same DNA and will expose how even our best efforts to obey God’s Word can degenerate into legalism.

Matthew 5:19-26 Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness ...read more

Author Of Liberty

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Feb 7, 2025

Why do you suppose it is that people find it so difficult to understand that real freedom only comes when we obey God?

It’s a risky thing to mix politics and religion. It’s too easy to confuse the two. And if I remember correctly, one of the major bones of contention during my predecessor’s tenure was over that very thing: whether or not it was proper to have the American flag in the sanctuary. Many people do ...read more
