Sermon 9 - The Place Of Torment Series

Contributed by David Owens on Aug 4, 2025

Hell is just as real as heaven. The biblical images of heaven and hell are designed to convince us that we will want to go to heaven and won't want to go to hell. The good news is that no one has to go to hell because God has provided a way of escape and His name is Jesus.

God Still Speaks

Contributed by Patty Groot on Aug 18, 2025

This sermon on Jeremiah 23:23–29 reminds us that God is near and present, warns against false voices, and shows how His Word refines and transforms like fire and a hammer.

I want to start today with a question. It’s simple, but it cuts to the heart: “Is God still speaking? And if so, are we listening?” In Jeremiah 23, the people of Israel were surrounded by noise. Competing voices. Smooth-talking prophets. Religious leaders claiming to speak for God but whose words ...read more
