Cities Of Refuge: A Kindness, To Keep You From Bloodguilt (Deuteronomy 19:1-13) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 25, 2022

God set them up, to protect you from bloodguilt. He knew you'd want revenge for accidental deaths, so He protected the innocent, from you. We don't take revenge.

This sermon marks the second Sunday we've talked about the cities of refuge. What I'd like to do this morning, because I love you, is start by messing with your heads a little. Normally, people think of the OT as the "half" of the Bible that's full of wrath and justice, ...read more

Living In The Kingdom 11 Series

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jan 26, 2022

What Makes Jesus' Yoke Light? (Matthew 11:1-30) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 7, 2022

Jesus' expectations are high (Matthew 5-7). So how can he say his yoke is a light burden? Jesus' yoke is not optional, and not secondary. You come to Jesus, in part, by taking on his yoke.

What makes Jesus' yoke light? (Matthew 11:1-30) We were doing family devotions the other night, and I was so proud of two of them, and found their insights so helpful, that I thought I'd sidetrack for a week and just make a record of this for myself. And the best way I know to do that, ...read more

Forgiving Difficult People Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

Jesus taught about dealing with difficult people. He stressed how we should not run away from our problems, or fight back against opposition, but that we should persist with people, so we can one day win them to faith in Christ.

There is nothing easy about the world in which we live. This is a world full of people, and if we are going to succeed in life, or be effective at sharing the gospel, we must learn how to deal with people, especially those who are difficult; and we must learn to love them no matter how they treat ...read more

A Word Concerning Confrontation Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 1, 2021

Most of us have, at some point, desired to get even with those who have wronged us. There is something within our human nature that desires to “return the favor.” These attitudes are contrary to God's will for our lives.
