The Flow Series

Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Aug 2, 2022

The focus of this sermon is on Jesus proclaiming at the last day of the Feast of the Tabernacles that soon Living Water (i.e., the Holy Spirit) will be flowing to the people, and whether that the promise is still applicable to us today.

Good morning. Did everybody get a bottle of water when they came in? Don’t you think that was nice of us to give you water? How many of you would have preferred an air conditioner? We are going to take an offering right now for the air conditioning. Actually, the good news is we have ...read more

Women In The Church - Free To Serve As God Equips!

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on May 15, 2022

God's Servant, The Justice-Bringer (Isaiah 42:1-9) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 28, 2024

God commissions and empowers his servant to produce "justice" for the nations. "Justice" here= "God's desired way of life." It's done, through gentle, careful teaching. The servant is Israel, Jesus, and the church.

This is going to be a pretty ambitious sermon today, so let's dive right in. Isaiah 42:1: (1) LOOK! My servant, [Isaiah 41:8, 9; 34:10; 44:1, 2; 45:4], I am upholding him, [Isaiah 41:10] my chosen one [Isaiah 41:8, 9; 43:10; 44:1, 2; 45:4], my soul/inner being has delighted in [or: ...read more

Church Is Not About My Rights. It's About You. (1 Corinthians 9:1-27) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 12, 2022

Paul modeled a better approach for the Corinthians, at great personal cost. Don't focus on your rights. Focus on the other.

In last week's passage, Paul tried to convince the Corinthians that they needed to stop going to idol temples and eating idol meat there. The Corinthians-- at least some of them-- thought that doing this was okay. They viewed this question as an issue of knowledge, and as an issue of freedom. ...read more

The Verdict Of Salvation’s Great Application Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jun 25, 2024

How we respond to God's calling is very telling of what He is doing in our lives. Will we obey the command to go and tell others how to be saved, just as the Church has been directed since the beginning? Or, will we make the grace of Christ about what we have done instead?
