Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 13, 2025

The sermon emphasizes steadfast obedience to God amid cultural pressures, highlighting how consistent faithfulness and convictions can leave a lasting legacy and honor God.

Some families pass down recipes, some pass down stories, some pass down the old pocketknife with a smooth handle and a history. The Rechabites passed down a way to walk with God. Simple. Steady.

God adopts us into His family through Jesus, offering true belonging and purpose beyond our natural ties, inviting everyone to a place at His table.

Have you ever noticed how the family refrigerator becomes a gallery of grace? Smudged fingerprints. Crayon drawings. Photos held up by a magnet that looks like a banana.

The sermon urges us to end each season and day with intentional prayer, focusing on what truly matters and leaving a legacy of faithfulness to God.

If you’ve ever closed a well-worn journal, you know the gentle weight of a last line. Ink fades, pages wrinkle, and somewhere in the hush after the final sentence, a story settles.

Who Sits On Your Throne? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 24, 2025

Holiness isn’t something that God has, but holy is what He is. The word holy has concentric circles of meaning. At its heart, when the word holy applies to God, it is almost an adjective for God. It is almost a way of saying, “God alone is God. There is no other.”

We conclude a series that explores the great character of God. Every sermon has been taken from the Psalms in this series. No other book in your Bible has as many authors as does Psalms. The superscriptions above verse 1 of many of the Psalms tell us that Moses, Solomon, Asaph, Hezekiah, and ...read more
