An Invitation To Healing (Bonus Week) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 25, 2022

God gave most of this message to me while I was at work. I took dictation, basically, for 45 minutes, and then tried to fill in gaps without messing it up. Bottom line: God will heal you.

Brothers and sisters, understand today that I am in no way criticizing you, or condemning you, or judging you. I want to help you. There is no more obvious sign of the church's weakness and lack of faith than the chronic sickness and disease found in so many of its members. Even just among ...read more

Joshua's Final Words, Part 2 (Joshua 24:1-33) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2022

Joshua calls them to make a deliberate choice-- for Yahweh, or other elohim. And he warns them, they will fail, and God's wrath will come. That said, he and his family will serve Yahweh.

Last week, in Joshua 23, we read what we thought were Joshua's last words. They were, really. Just, it was only first half of his farewell. And the focus of those words was on the warning. As a reminder, I'm going to reread verses 14-16: 14 “And now I am about to go the way of all the ...read more

How Rich Are We, In Christ, Right Now? (1 Corinthians 4:1-21, Part 2) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2022

Are we kings, already? The answer is "yes" and "no." But our riches are for service, to be used in humility. Not to lift ourselves up.

Last week, we worked through 1 Corinthians 4. Admittedly, I didn't really explain the last half of the chapter at all. I think I had three reasons for this. None of which are very important, but here they are: (1) Chapter 4 hangs together as a single argument, and I wanted to catch the ...read more

Here's A Man Who Needs No Introduction Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 1, 2024

To take somebody else’s off was considered absolutely degrading. If you had servants, one of the rules was you could never make a Jewish servant take your sandals off. That would be too degrading to make a fellow countryman do.

We celebrate celebrities. Whether it is rock stars, actors, or actresses, or athletes. Our culture loves celebrities. They are celebrated because of their unique talents and skills. The Gospel of John introduces us to the celebrity of the universe – Jesus Christ. Because there is nobody but nobody ...read more

Trusting God In Turbulent Times

Contributed by David Owens on Oct 30, 2023

What should Christians think and do about the conflict in the Middle East. Does God still have a plan for the nation of Israel? These are important questions. Trusting God and praying for peace are the most important things we can do.

Introduction: A. Today, we are stepping away from our sermon series on the Gospel of Mark in order to address the heartbreaking current events in the Middle East. B.

God's Fresh Start (Revelation 21:1-8) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 15, 2023

A practical, no-rapture, academically rigorous reading of Revelation. One day heaven and earth will be merged, and God will fully, entirely, dwell with his people.

At one point or another, most of us have felt the need for a fresh start in life. One Friday night, we finished our work, and looked at our paycheck, and decided that it wasn't worth it. We were tired of difficult bosses, or rude customers, or just the work itself. We looked at our job, and ...read more
