    A message that highlights four obstacles we need to overcome to progress in life.

    Gates play a significant role in both the natural and spiritual realms. Just as physical gates provide security and protection, spiritual gates are used by God and the enemy to secure and fortify our lives. While God uses gates to release blessings and goodness, the enemy uses gates to introduce ...read more

    The theology of enjoyment in the Book of Ecclesiastes is repeated over and over: find enjoyment and satisfaction in your work.

    It’s optional— when the Church’s sacred ministers wear “pink” on Laetare Sunday —the Fourth Sunday of Lent. The word is from the Latin word for the command “rejoice!” To illustrate this theme: A famous preacher was trying to teach his students to make their facial expressions harmonize with ...read more

    Overwhelmed Series

     | 4,518 views

    Right Theology, if embraced and allowed to permeate our minds and hearts, produces right worship, a right attitude toward God. The Spirit can then use the right theology and the right attitude toward God to coax us along to surrender ourselves to Him.

    Overwhelmed (Romans 11:33-36) 1. The subject of living for God is important. But a lot of times, we want to rush Christians into the Christian life without helping them understand the God they serve. 2. The study of God and His works is called “Theology.” The Greek word for God is “Theos,” which ...read more

    Some .have taken Jesus' words as a starting point to building a theology of two kingdoms. A theology of how earthly governments and God are supposed .to relate. Beloved this passage is not about two kingdoms. It is about two images. Updated June 2018

    This is a message regarding the progression of the biblical account of The Tree of Life from Genesis to Revelation with special emphasis to Cross.

    “The Tree of Life” This morning I want to talk to you about the biblical concept of “Tree of Life.” The Word of God is real; the Word of God is relevant. We came here today to worship God and to fellowship one another, but let’s also leave with something that we can apply to our life, today. ...read more

    A short talk asking an important question. This parable has often been used to say that God's promises to Israel have all been transferred away from Israel and given to the church. Is this what Jesus was saying? Who was he talking to?

    When Stevie Wonder appeared on Top of the Pops and sang, “I just called to say I love you” – who was he singing to? Was it the studio audience? Was it the wider TV audience? Or was it the person on the other end of the phone? I’m almost certain it was the latter. Does it ...read more

    There is more to this psalm than teaching us about natural revelation or a useful benediction to our church service.

    The Heavens Declare the Glory of God: an Exposition of the 19th Psalm The nineteenth psalm is majestic and begins with lofty words.

    In our modern day we as Christians can assume that we're fine with one foot in and one foot out. We've got the whole grace through faith in Christ equation going in our lives.

    "Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires." -Romans 13:13-14 ESV In our modern day we as ...read more

     | 2,334 views

    Jesus’ teaching and ministry was a way of reframing the use of Scripture. The Scribes had made notes that were superimposed on Scripture. Jesus holds before us a new way of living life. One based on mercy, grace, and love. Jesus modeled the heart and intent of God.

    As a child we would attempt to salvage anything and everything. The house I remember from early childhood was an interesting building.

    It seems that there is a never-ending struggle between the belief of salvation by faith alone and salvation by faith AND works. What does the Bible tell us?

    Please open your Bibles to Romans 5:1-11 which we will read in a few minutes. Over the past few of weeks we have been taking a look at the five “Solas” that were reestablished after the Protestant Reformation came along in 1517.
