Living With(Out) Regret Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 24, 2022

We all have regrets, things we've done or have had done to us in the past. Paul describes two ways of dealing with these regrets- worldly and godly. Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell on living without regret.

Our current series is called “What Keeps You Up At Night?” We’ve explored anger/bitterness, concern for family, and today I want to talk about regret. It’s the idea of dealing with our mistakes/sins, whether real or perceived from our past. Personally, the concept takes me back to my ...read more

“Hope” 1 John 3:1-3 I’ve been a Pastor now for 20, going on 21 years. And, in the past, when someone has lost a parent or a close relative, I have said to them “I can’t imagine what you are going through.” Sadly, now, I can say: “I know what it is like. It is horrible. It is ...read more

Jesus Among Secular Gods, Part 3 - Who's Mountain Are You Climbing? Answering Questions Of Humanism & Pluralism Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Oct 28, 2019

According to God's own Word, every nation tribe, people and language will be represented in heaven. It is important, however, not to confuse the reach of God's saving grace to all nations with a misconception that all roads lead to God.

To whom then will you compare me, that I should be like him? Says the Holy One. 26 Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name; by the greatness of his might and because he is strong in power, not one is missing. (Isaiah ...read more

Bad Decisions #1 Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 7, 2024

Waiting in times of struggle (either because of our own bad choices or God’s timing) is the ultimate action of faith.

What to eat, what to wear, who to respond to first, what to prioritize at work — each of us makes hundreds, if not thousands, of decisions each day. Some of these choices have larger consequences than others. For starters, who we choose to surround ourselves with, where we live, who we worship, ...read more

Facing Opposition And Overcoming

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on May 16, 2023

Joseph faced opposition but, as a result, saved his family. David faced opposition from his brother but went ahead and killed Goliath. Nehemiah faced opposition, never lost confidence, and completed the building in record time. We no less will succeed, our confidence in our Lord.

In Genesis 37 we read about Joseph the second youngest of twelve brothers born to Jacob, He was only seventeen years old. His father loved him more than his other sons.

Whether Feast Or Famine Series

Contributed by John Huyser on Sep 10, 2024

Admittedly, Ruth is not a book we think of often. But we would be mistaken to think Ruth is not beneficial to us today or not part of God’s salvation narrative.

So on screen, you see our last nine years of sermon coverage of Genesis through Kings. The colors represent the different years. We are ...read more

The Veil Torn

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 12, 2025

When Jesus died, God Himself tore the temple curtain from top to bottom—forever removing every barrier between His holiness and our hearts. The way into His presence is wide open, not by our efforts or rituals, but by the finished work of Christ.

Introduction – A Wall Comes Down, A Veil Is Rent Down I still remember the summer of 1964 when our family crossed from West Germany into East. We were crammed into a Volkswagen bus—my parents up front, four sisters and two brothers jammed shoulder to shoulder. The youngest, little Sarah, was still ...read more
