Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 31, 2025

We continue with an examination of the parable of the Sower and look at the seed that fell on the hard, barren pathways and beside the road. What are the birds of the air? How does the devil snatch away the sown word? This is a very instructive parable.

Worthy Of Honor

Contributed by Ed Lu on Dec 17, 2024

Paul is teaching Timothy how to be a caretaker of people. That’s essentially what leaders are. Good leaders must know how to treat others. How to empower others. And how to uphold standards.

"He Gets Us”! But, Does He Take You As You Are?

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Oct 17, 2024

Some people with good intentions have created an advertisement named, He Gets US! Is it a proper depiction of the cause of Jesus Christ for mankind? Does Jesus approve of us the way we are?

Some people with good intentions have created an advertisement named, He Gets US! I am sure many have seen it. I admire the effort to spread the name of Jesus, but I am disappointed in their content and implied message. Is it a proper depiction of the cause of Jesus Christ for mankind? Does Jesus ...read more

The Ache For Meaning

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 29, 2025

Navigating The Hall Of Mirrors Series

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Sep 10, 2025

This sermon frames our modern world as a disorienting "hall of mirrors" filled with deceptive words and offers God's pure Word as the only source of truth and safety to navigate it.

Introduction: I want you to imagine something with me. Imagine you are walking into a vast, ornate hall. But instead of paintings on the walls, every surface is covered with mirrors. At first, it's dazzling. But as you walk deeper, you become disoriented. Some mirrors make you look taller, some ...read more

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Sep 10, 2025

God’s Last Word Is Gospel We all know that in life, the last word carries weight.
