    Trusting Series

    Contributed by Steve Ely on Jan 14, 2021
     | 4,089 views

    It can be a wild ride. It can be unruly and unreliable. However, as we learn to tame and train our money the ride to financial freedom is worth it!

    Buck Wild Pt. 3 - Trust I. Introduction I have mentioned that I loved Silver and Trigger on TV. I just loved horses in general. Here is further proof. This is me in 1971. I was 3 years old and my Granny Ely bought this rocking horse for me for Christmas. Now it would be outlawed because of all ...read more

    No Room For Hypocrisy

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 13, 2025
     | 87 views

    At the Last Judgement, all of us will need to admit to our shortcomings. No whispered secrets, no dark meetings.

    Friday of the 28th Week Integral 2025 One thing we can say about the Gospel writers’ style: they were working on expensive media like parchment or papyrus, so they did not waste words. Today Luke gives us what looks like a throw-away line at first: “So many people were crowding together that they ...read more

    Abraham’s Faith, God’s Faithfulness

    Contributed by Barnabas Park on Oct 31, 2025
     | 309 views

    Abraham trusted God’s promises despite doubt, fear, and impossibility—and how, like Abraham, we are justified not by our works but by God’s faithfulness. It reminds us that salvation and blessing are gifts of grace, not achievements of human effort.

    “What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter? If Abraham was justified by works, he would have something to boast about—but not before God. What does the Scripture say? ‘Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.’” ...read more

    Authentic Versus Counterfeit Faith (Ii) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on May 27, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,330 views

    This message examines the qualities of saving faith as revealed in Romans 4:18-22. In this chapter, Paul uses Abraham's example to teach the kind of faith response to God that ultimately leads to eternal salvation. Hint: It is not easy believism.

    Intro A major theme in Romans 4 is faith. Paul is aggressively contending for justification by faith alone. The issue we are currently addressing is the kind of faith Paul has in mind when he uses the word. We know from James 2 that some forms of faith are dead and worthless. We know from Jesus’s ...read more

    Faith’s Essential Content Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jun 3, 2024
     | 1,173 views

    Romans 4:23-25 provides a concise statement of the Christian faith: Lordship of Christ, his sacrificial death on the cross, and his resurrection. Salvation depends on believing these essentials. Religions that proclaim Jesus as a good teacher or prophet but deny these tenets are false religions.

    Intro We have been examining Abrham’s faith as a model for the kind of faith God is looking for in you and me. Abraham’s faith was a saving faith. After describing his faith, Paul says in Romans 4:22: “And therefore ‘it was accounted to him for righteousness.’” Paul has grounded his teaching on the ...read more

    Faith transforms our lives - the life of Abraham is a powerful example of faithfully trusting and walking with God.

    Transformed by Truth: The Journey of Faith Introduction Today, we embark on a journey through Scripture, exploring how faith transforms our lives. Our guiding scriptures will be Genesis 15:6, Romans 4:3, Romans 4:9, Galatians 3:6, Hebrews 11:8, Hebrews 11:17, and James 2:23. These passages, ...read more

    Focus On Faith

    Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Feb 21, 2025
     | 625 views

    Faith is the foundation of our relationship with God—it's what connects us to His promises and guides us through every aspect of life – the good and the bad. Today, we’ll explore the necessity of faith, the challenges it faces, and the incredible power faith holds to transform our lives.

    Hebrews 11:1 – “Faith is the substance of our hope and the evidence of things we cannot see.” Introduction The Eagle and the Storm (Faith Strengthens Us) Eagles fly directly into storms, using the wind currents to lift them higher above the turbulence. Instead of avoiding challenges, they allow the ...read more

    Overflowing With Hope From God's Word

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Dec 10, 2024
     | 478 views

    For the Second Sunday in Advent, also known as Bible Sunday, we look at the Good News, how we should seek to be overflowing in it, and how we should be spreading it. 

    Good Morning. In addition to our focus on Peace this morning, and the peace which brings Good News on the mountain tops, as Isaiah says, actually equipping YOU to be the voice of peace on the mountain tops to be clear, the Second Sunday in Advent is also known as Bible Sunday. I’m going to try to ...read more

    A Living Wage Series

     | 1,436 views

    There’s a difference between dead-end religion and living faith.

    I expect the issue of minimum wage will come up in Congress again this year. There are good arguments on both sides - Those who are in favor of raising it will argue, rightly, that you can’t support a family on a minimum wage job, and that people who “work hard and play by the rules” should be able ...read more

    Faith that works acts on God’s promises.

    Do you remember the advertising slogan, “They got their money the old fashioned way: they earned it!” It was very popular, and very clever. But of course many - if not most - people with the real money in this country didn’t get it by earning it. They got it the real old fashioned way: they ...read more

    Hope For The Ungodly Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 15, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,109 views

    In this exposition of Romans 4:4-8, we see the logic of grace and David's testimony affirming justification by faith. This way of salvation is something the angels desire to look into and something that will bring everlasting glory to God.

    Intro Follow with me as we read Romans 4:1-3: “What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter? 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, ...read more

    Circumcision Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 22, 2024
     | 879 views

    Using OT Scripture, Paul proves in Romans 4:9-12 that circumcision is not a prerequisite for justification. Justification is by faith alone. Vital principles applicable today are taught in this passage of Scripture.

    Intro Romans 4 naturally divides into sections: 1. Justification is by faith, not by works (vv.1-8). 2. Justification by faith is not dependent on ritual (vv. 9-16). 3. The kind of faith that leads to justification is exemplified by Abraham (vv. 17-22). 4. Justification is available now for all ...read more

    Legitimate Use Of Rituals Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 29, 2024
     | 818 views

    For a person to be declared righteous by God, rituals/sacraments are unnecessary. Justification is by faith alone. So, what is the value of rituals like water baptism and the Lord's Supper? Using Romans 4:11, this message seeks to answer that question.

    Intro Last week we expounded Romans 4:9-12. There Paul used Abraham’s experience to prove circumcision is not a prerequisite for justification. In that study, we did not have time to talk about why God gave Abraham the rite of circumcision. If it is of no value for justification, then what is its ...read more

    Legalism Exposed Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on May 6, 2024
     | 881 views

    This exposition of Romans 4:13-16 addresses the problem of trying to attain righteousness through good works. The law was given to expose our sinfulness and lead us to Christ for salvation. The deception of legalism is a problem that must be addressed.

    Intro Our text today is Romans 4:13-16: “It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. 14 For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is ...read more
