    True Christian living finds its meaning and endurance in love; without love, our actions and gifts are empty, but with it, everything gains lasting value.

    Good morning, friends. If you came in today weary, worried, or worn thin, you’re not alone. Some of us have been carrying more than we care to admit—unanswered questions, unspoken hurts, unfinished to-do lists. We try harder, run faster, give more, and still wonder: Why do I feel empty? Why does my ...read more

    Occasionally people wonder how they can possibly make the most of adversity.

    Occasionally people wonder how they can possibly make the most of adversity. Most of us feel like giving up. Consider Jesus Christ who experienced betrayal from one of His closest companions, Judas Iscariot. No doubt Jesus felt angry and tempted to lash back for such improbity. However, Jesus knew ...read more

    This sermon emphasizes the need to support your leader in their time of adversity.

    In the heat of battles, our souls will often become faint. Bouts of depression will come to most of us. The strong are not always vigorous. The wise are not alway ready. The brave are not always courageous. The joyous are not always happy. Great travail is created for all men. It is clear that the ...read more

    Finding grace in adverse circumstances to pass the torch of the gospel on to others.

    PASSING THE LIGHT. 2 Corinthians 4:5-12. Paul had been concerned by some self-made ‘ministers’ who were nothing better than peddlers ‘making gain by corrupting the word of God’ (2 Corinthians 2:17).

    Men, I call on you to take responsibility for your wife. Take responsibility for your children. Take responsibility for your church. Take some responsibility even for your city. Jesus is our model for masculinity.

    In Peter’s first letter – a letter that we have been focusing on since May of 2008 – Peter tells men that right living will help them pray. Peter tells us that our prayers can be clogged by how we treat our wives. This is an especially important commandment in our day for the definitions of men ...read more

    Psalm 32 - Acknowledging Our Sin Is To Be Our Regular Practice

    Contributed by Neil Olcott on Jul 29, 2023
     | 1,737 views

    Have you ever felt that your relationship with God has been, not just stagnant, but wooden and hollow, with no life, no relationship, no joy, no vibrancy or flourishing? Like it is forced and faked and empty?

    This morning we are looking at Psalm 32 and we find that it is written by King David. It’s a psalm paired with Psalm 51. They’re bound together. “Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your steadfast love.” And they’re bound together because the context of the psalm is 2 Samuel chapters 11 and 12. ...read more
