    Good morning, beloved congregation. It is a joy and a privilege to stand before you today, as we gather together in unity, in faith, and in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Perspectives Of A Tentmaker

    Contributed by Ed Lu on Dec 17, 2024
     | 409 views

    Just as Paul brings a perspective as God’s instrument in both his occupation and ministry, similarly we have a calling to live out our purpose for the people we are responsible for.

    Perspectives of a Tentmaker 1 Timothy 6:1-10 What kind of bosses do you work for? What type of a boss do your employees think about you? As for me, I had many. One of them has a mouth as foul as a sewer. But if you get to know him, his heart is as tender as a newborn’s skin. The one ...read more

    Life, Death, And Forever

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 26, 2025
     | 188 views

    Scripture teaches that immortality is God’s gift through Christ; death is unconscious sleep, and final judgment ends sin and sinners completely and forever.

    (Common Notions vs. Biblical Truth) Introduction – Two Funerals, Two Stories A few years ago, I attended two very different funerals only weeks apart. At the first, music played softly as family members and friends shared memories. Again and again people said things like, “She’s looking down on ...read more

    The Great Reversal

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Aug 24, 2025
     | 129 views

    In God's Kingdom, our true identity and reason for rejoicing are found not in our financial status, which is temporary and fragile, but in our eternal position in Christ, which is permanent and secure.

    Introduction: The Status Game Our world is obsessed with a game, and it’s a game we are all forced to play from the moment we are old enough to understand it. It’s the status game. We measure ourselves and we measure each other constantly, don't we? We notice the car someone drives into the ...read more

    How does the Cross show us the love of God and steer us in the way we are called to live?

    “The Foolishness of the Cross” 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 There is a story about a wealthy early colonial settler who asked the rector of the church if it was possible to find salvation outside of the Church of England.

    Two Steps To Trouble Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Sep 4, 2024
     | 861 views

    An interesting "two step" phrase is repeated three times in this passage. It gives us insight into how what we believe in our heart creates hurdles in real life.

    TWO STEPS TO TROUBLE: 1. AN IDOL IS A SUBSTITUTE FOR GOD THAT WE PUT ON OUR HEART'S THRONE. - Ezekiel 14:3, 4, 7. - The triple repeat is interesting and significant. - An idol is the start of the problem. It’s a substitute God. - Let’s look at three examples. We’ll start with this step ...read more

    Not Ashamed Of The Gospel Series

     | 2,455 views

    The Apostle Paul penned these words that are considered the central thought of Christianity. At one time he dedicated his life to stamping out Christianity. On his way to Damascus the power of God changed his life forever.

    When I was a teenager, I was first an agnostic and then I became an atheist. Of all places I was in a church when I made the transition to an atheist. It was my conclusion that the worship around me was not real and all of life could be explained by natural science. I even felt sorry for people ...read more

    John the Baptist is not sure that Jesus is the anointed 'Messiah'

    Matthew 11:2-11 In the past two weeks, our Advent lessons have taught us to prepare to celebrate both the past and the future - to celebrate both the birth of Jesus 2,020 years ago and to heighten our anticipation of his coming anew at a date and time no one knows for sure.

    God’s blazing holiness reveals our sin and demands perfect justice, leaving us helpless and pointing to the cross where mercy will come.

    Opening: The Longing for Justice Good morning, friends. Before we open our Bibles, let me start with a little story. Author Gary Haugen once described how he would teach math to a room full of six-year-olds. He said he would begin each day by handing out a snack—but unevenly. A few kids would get ...read more

    A Broken Man Before The Boundless Gospel

    based on 1 rating
     | 442 views

    Locked doors and crowded rooms can stop most people, but real faith finds a way. In Mark 2:1–12 four friends tear through a roof to place a paralytic before Jesus—He forgives first, then heals—showing His authority and calling us to carry others to Him.

    A little while ago I was installing a keypad lock on the door to my upstairs studio—just trying to add an extra layer of security for my equipment, cameras, computers, all that production stuff. So I set the keypad lock up, got the old handle out of the door, got the batteries in, set the code, all ...read more

    Thoughts about Labor: ¡ñ One day a fisherman was lying on a beautiful beach, with his fishing pole propped up in the sand and his solitary line cast out into the sparkling blue surf.
