Nobody Is Better Than Anybody

Contributed by Ryan Ferwerda on Mar 28, 2019

When we are faced with someone who thinks they are better than we are we try to rise above this through the reassurance that we would never treat anyone else the way they treat us. But with that kind of attitude, are we really any better?

I myself have encountered this kind of attitude at multiple points throughout my life. I have experience it in the food service industry in which I ...read more

Jesus-Greater Than The Angels

Contributed by Ashley Benjamin on Feb 11, 2021

This sermon is a study from the Book of Hebrews on the supremacy of Christ Jesus. Who was Jesus? Was he an angel? The jewish community had lots of issues in understanding who the Son of God was. This sermon from Hebrews 1 and 2 shows that Jesus is greater than the angels.

He is Greater! The book of Hebrews is an interesting book of the Bible. It doesn’t have a salutation, so no one knows for sure who the author is. Rather than a letter, it’s more like a homily or sermon. Many attribute the author to be Apollos given the Greek used in this book and his reference to ...read more

Better Than I Deserve

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Nov 6, 2013

If you got what you deserved, what would that look like?

One of the best pastors that I have ever served with always replies with “Better than I deserve” whenever someone asks him how he is doing. There is a bit of a debate over whether Dave Ramsey stole that phrase from him, but I have been using it as well. I think it is a good answer. ...read more
