Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 7, 2023

God has given us a seat in his divine council, and we have a voice-- a say-- in what happens in the world.

Our passage today, I'm hoping, will expand your view of who you are, of how God works, and of what prayer can do. It's not going to start, by talking about any of those things. We will take a bit of a wandering path this morning. But that's where we are going to end up. Let me ...read more

God Offers Grace To All (Ephesians 2:1-10) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 5, 2025

And that grace is offered to all people, Jew and Gentile, through Jesus, not Moses, to be received by faith in Jesus, not by commitment to the Mosaic covenant.

Today, we have the privilege of working through Ephesians 2:1-10. But let's start by rereading a little bit from last week. Ephesians 1:22-23: (22) And all things/beings He subjected under his feet, and him He gave as head over all things to/for the church, (23) which is his body--the ...read more

Philadelphia: Que Sera Or Carpe Diem? Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 5, 2003

It’s hard to go forward if we continually look back. God puts before us an open door of opportunity, but we must know that we are capable of good, and we must know our identities.

Well, let’s get this over with. New Year’s resolutions: how many of you made New Year’s resolutions? Now how many of us have already broken at least one resolution? Come on, hands up, confession is good for the soul. How many have already, five days into the new year, broken at least ...read more

Harnessing The Power Of The Tongue

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 12, 2003

We should seek to harness the tongue because: (1) It has great power to do good and evil (2) Our speech reveals our heart (3) It glorifies God.

In last week’s message, I gave four reasons why it can be a spiritually beneficial practice for us to make and keep resolutions. They stimulate us to think about what it means to be godly; what it means to be conformed to the image of Christ. They express our faith in God’s promises to transform ...read more

The Rewards Of Seeking God

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 26, 2003

God promises great rewards to those who seek Him, and it is a proper motive for obedience to consider these rewards.

Last week, we discussed the topic of "seeking God." We saw that the pursuit of God is a lifelong quest. It’s not merely a phase in our spiritual growth, nor is it an optional activity. Rather, it’s fundamental to our lives as Christians, from beginning to end. You could even say that continuing to ...read more

Praying For A New Perspective Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Mar 20, 2003

While the Book of Psalms may be the most popular book in the Bible, and is most often associated with worship or songs of praise, the Psalms actually give us a very practical picture of prayer.

Finding Refuge In A World At War

On Whom Are You Depending?

Contributed by Jim Twamley on Mar 26, 2003

We all depend on something or someone in life. The question is, who do you ultimately rely on? Yourself? Your family? Your Church? Your government? Your bank account? Your friends? Or do you rely on God?

The doctor asked if it disturbed his wife. The ...read more
