The Cost To Serve Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 8, 2019

Jesus had revealed much about the difficulty and opposition the disciples would face as they sought to serve Him. Finally, He revealed their service would also require personal sacrifice - it would come at a cost.

A Detailed, Multi-Part Look At Biblical Marriage And Divorce Series

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Sep 20, 2019

Second, only to a personal relationship with God, marriage is the single most important relationship that a Born-Again Christian will ever have.

Marriage is the most HOLY thing they will ever do. Marriage is about living in harmony, commonality, and agreement, which is impossible without both partners being Born-Again (See 2 Cor 6:14-7-2). It should be entered into just like the High Priest entering into the Holy of Holies - with reverent ...read more

"i Have More Important Things To Do Than Come To Church." Series

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 7, 2019

Is church really worth our time? Our time is inherently valuable so we want to make sure that we are spending our time on things that have value. Is church one of them?

The 9-5, Monday-Friday, 40 hour per week, weekends off work week seems to be a thing of the past for many people.

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 14, 2020

Easter sermon that asks "Who would you die for?" and, more importantly, in the shadow of the cross, "Who would die for you?"

There are athletic passages both in Greek philosophy and in the Bible that say suffering can be useful like an athlete in training, because it can aid in the growth of virtue.
