    God's grace isn't a relic from our past, it is our daily manna.

    INTRODUCTION Did you hear about the joke about the Baptist pastor who snuck out to the horse race track? He’d never bet on the horses before, so he wasn’t sure where to put his money. Before one of the races he watched as a Catholic priest pronounced a blessing on a particular horse. ...read more

    Legalization Of Drugs Won't Usher In A Utopian State

    In an article on dope legalization appearing in the 2/28/95 edition of the Diamondback, one of the paper's columnists abandoned sound conservative principles for the drug-induced hallucinations of libertarianism. While sounding wonderful and imminently logical on paper, many of these ideas ...read more

    Over the next few days, Jesus taught in the temple daily and lodged in Bethany. The religious leaders looked for an opportunity to kill Him and tried to trap Him with questions. Jesus rebuked them publicly. He spoke parables and talking to his disciples about the end times.

    This message uses Saul’s poorly-conceived rule as an example of how our rules can create major problems.

    - This was a difficult passage to find the “interpretive key” for. How Legalism Starts: He made up a rule that made him feel better. - 1 Samuel 14:24. How Those Around Him Responded: They feared the rule, so they tried to live by it. - 1 Samuel 14:26-28. - v. 26 - There was honey that they ...read more

    But as noted… we often find ourselves in tensions between two feelings … the tension between a spirit of legalism and a spirit license.

    Walking in True Freedom Part 2 – Walking It Out Brad Bailey – July 15, 2007 One question I asked last week…Are you free to do anything you want (if within your means)? Yes… but somehow we sense that’s not the greatest news to hear… it helps us think about what true freedom is… spiritual ...read more

    Don't Go Under The House! Series

    What do you rely on for how you behave? That might seem like a simple question but who and what influences you can mean the difference between relying on your own abilities or falling on the grace of Jesus. The answer is simple: die!

    We start out so well. We come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah and we’re filled with excitement and that “first love” feeling. Once the realities of the flesh with dwell with and the world we dwell in begin to sink in—we face a fork in the road of our Christian maturity. ...read more

     | 3,854 views

    When we're tempted to focus on lesser things than the cross of Christ, Paul's closing argument in Galatians is a helpful reality check.

    Yesterday 15 of us from this church gathered to pray and then to go out into the community. 12 in total went out and 3 stayed back both to pray for the teams that went out and to prepare a remarkably yummy lunch for the team on its return. We went out in teams of 2, and we went out for one reason. ...read more

    The War Within Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 7, 2011
     | 5,132 views

    Being human we are born with certain default settings that drive us to think in certain ways. When we become a Christian a war starts between a new nature seeking to establish a beachhead and take over and the old regime that wants to stay in control.

    The human mind is self-rationalizing. In other words, we will rationalize our thoughts and actions according to ourselves, rather than to some external source. Even when we read something or hear something and alter our behavior, it is because we choose to believe that thing we read or ...read more

    The human mind is self-rationalizing and self-deceptive. Without a guide, we have no idea what is right and good. God's Word offers that guide but it's more than just reading a guidebook and determining to do better. We need to come to grips with the brok

    Today we are going look at just three verses. Normally these verses might be couched in terms of “this is really bad stuff—this is sin—don’t do it!” While that is true, I want to handle these verses a little differently. Firstly, remember that these words are written ...read more

    The Stark Contrast Series

     | 3,792 views

    The contrast between the old nature and the new couldn't be more stark as we finish up our study in Paul's letter to the Galatians. The question we all have to face is: where is our treasure, in this legalistic age, or in God's kingdom?

    Galatians is all about the contrast between the old nature and the new, legalism and Spirit-life. As we finish up the book today we’re going to see that contrast in stark relief so let’s look for it as we finish chapter 6. As we talked about the fruit of the Spirit in chapter 5, we saw ...read more

    Paul warns about threee subtles deceptions about living the Christian life that can cause us to get detoured from focusing on a growing love relationship with God.
