Judgment Day Surprise - Matthew 7:21-23 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 18, 2024

Many will call Jesus Lord and have impressive, Christ-centered ministries and yet be condemned because 1) they were not known by Christ (not favored by Him and did not trust and obey Him) and 2) they did not do the Father’s will (a function of knowing God) and are therefore lawbreakers.

Matthew 7:15 Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears ...read more

From Anxiety To Peace - 1 Peter 5:7 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Feb 24, 2025

Anxiety is a gift from God designed for a good purpose. But it is dangerous.

Peter’s reason for why we can cast our cares on God is the fact that God cares for us. You can offload a task onto someone else, but the anxiety about it stays on your plate until you are convinced that person is 1) competent and 2) that he cares about it as much as you do. This message will help ...read more

Two Comforting Visions (Zechariah 1:7-21) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 21, 2026

There is a type of world peace which God finds profoundly inadequate-- a type where God's people don't participate in its prosperity, and where the wicked have gone unpunished. The 2 visions tag-team, to address this.

Today, we enter into week 2 of our Zechariah study. Last week's verses were kind of an intro to the book, and my guess is that that prophetic word felt "normal." Many of you have heard my earlier series on Haggai, Nahum, and Zephaniah, and Zechariah starts off sounding a lot like ...read more
