Aim For Perfection

Contributed by Roger Hutto on Dec 31, 2017

The church should intentionally strive for perfection - being a church where God's presence is evident and powerful. This requires a strategy of obeying God's word, uniting on the fundamental truths of our faith, and never sacrificing unity over trivial

The Sacrifice Of Fools

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Oct 4, 2017

Eccl 5:1 Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. To draw near to listen is better than to offer the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they are doing evil. What is the sacrifice of fools?

THE SACRIFICE OF FOOLS Ecclesiastes 5:1 Christians have nearly abandoned the word "fool," and replaced it with various synonyms. The reason is found in Matthew 5:22, where Jesus says, "...whoever shall say, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the hell of ...read more

Getting Your Hands Around God’s Love Series

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jul 29, 2018

Maybe the reason we love our sin more than we love our God is that we don’t really understand how much our God loves us! Paul describes God's love as wide, long, high, and deep. Each of these words will help us grasp more of God's love for us.

You have that one little temptation that keeps getting you, no matter how hard you try? You feel like you could have written Romans 7, where Paul says, “I don’t do what I ...read more

The Importance Of Faith Series

Contributed by Greg Powell on Aug 19, 2020

Paul anticipates the Judaizers next objection since they were huge fans of the law of Moses. In general, they recognized the importance of the Abrahamic covenant, but they gave priority to the Mosaic covenant. This led them to emphasize law over faith.

INTRO: We have seen the interrogation of faith and the illustration of faith and today we’ll see the importance of faith. Next week is the identity of faith. What Paul has been hammering home in Galatians is that we are saved by faith and not by works. This is the distinguishing hallmark of ...read more
