Reversing The Curse . . . And Then Some! Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 17, 2022

Did you know that all men die for Adam's sin? It's a biblical concept taught clearly in Romans 5:12-21. In the same way, all men who receive Christ's gift live by Christ's one act of righteousness.

Well, as we all well know, we have reached 2022. And we’ve had a couple tough years as a human race. I remember well in 2020 how many were claiming that was the worst year in recent memory—the worldwide pandemic had shut down much of the world, there was tremendous social unrest in the U.S. and ...read more

It's Better To Get Ripped Off (1 Corinthians 6:1-11) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 6, 2022

If your brother in Christ rips you off, eat the money. If you can't, or aren't willing, go to the elders, not the legal system. Also, a warning: the unrighteous don't inherit God's kingdom

I'd like to begin today by reading something from John G. Lake, somewhere in The Collected Writings of John G. Lake: "Beloved, there is a deep, passionate yearning in my soul that above all else this congregation may set forth, to the praise of God, such a character of righteousness in ...read more

Saved By Faith Alone! Really??? Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Nov 27, 2021

Could it really be that works have nothing to do with gaining a right-standing with God? Don't good people who do good works get to Heaven. The Apostle Paul has an answer.

I’ve entitled my message this morning “Saved by Faith Alone! Really???” because shockingly that’s precisely the attitude of most self-described Christians in America today. An October 2020 survey of self-described Christians in America by Arizona Christian University revealed the 52% of ...read more

Time To Stand Strong, And Draw Your Sword (Ephesians 6:10-20) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 17, 2025

Everyone seems to know the unseen spiritual world is real, and interacts with ours. How can we be safe from harmful spirits? And how we can fight for Jesus, against Satan, in this world?

We live in an age where there is great interest in the unseen spiritual world. There are many TV shows and movies that have to do with battles between humans, and evil spirits. And my guess is that the reason we have so many, and they are so popular, is that we as a society recognize that there ...read more

Judging And Navigating The Complexities Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Jan 20, 2025

The Bible warns against judging others while ignoring one's own flaws.

The Bible presents a nuanced view of judging, with various scriptures addressing the topic. On one hand, we are instructed to judge righteously (John 7:24), while on the other, we are cautioned against judging others (Matthew 7:1-5). This apparent paradox requires careful examination. The Right to ...read more

Lost Sons And A Prodigal Father Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Nov 3, 2025

While the parable of the prodigal son reveals some things about the lostness of the younger son, it also reveals the lostness of the elder son and the prodigal love of God.

How do you view God? Some people view God as a heavy-handed, demanding judge with strict rules of right and wrong. Others view God like a doting grand-father who willingly gives his grandchildren whatever they want - practically spoiling them. Some may view God as aloof and distant, uninterested or ...read more

In the midst of war weariness, Abram paid tribute to a mysterious priest, who is described as without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life. Was this the preincarnate Christ or merely a prototype? Let’s discuss this in Genesis 14. Was there war ...read more
