Sermon On The Garden Of Eden

Contributed by William Meakin on Nov 13, 2025

The Garden of Eden was a biblical paradise described in the Book of Genesis, where the first humans, Adam and Eve, lived in a state of innocence before being expelled for disobeying God.

John Steinbeck, an American writer once remarked: "Perhaps everybody has a garden of Eden, I don't know; but they have scarcely seen their garden before they see the flaming sword. Then, perhaps, life only offers the choice of remembering the garden or forgetting it." Ezekiel 28:12-14 ...read more

Taking God For Granted

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 27, 2025

Are we truly devoted to God whole heartedly no matter what? Or are we only Christianity to see what's in it for us? Are we taking God for granted or are we humble before him? Today, I want us to search our souls and our hearts for the answers to these questions as we dive into the Gospel.

The problem with our world today is not with a God who has never failed and is faithful from generation to generation. The problem in the world today are the hearts of evil men who take God for granted. And today, we turn to Psalms 78, and we see a chapter in Israel's history in which, time ...read more

Shipwrecked: Our Condition Before Christ Series

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Sep 27, 2025

Using the analogy of a shipwreck, this sermon on Ephesians 2:1-3 explores Paul's stark description of our condition without Christ: spiritually dead, helplessly swept along by the currents of the world, the flesh, and the devil, and destined for God's just wrath.

Introduction Imagine a person who has survived a terrible shipwreck. They are floating alone in the middle of a vast, dark ocean. Though they are breathing and their heart is beating, are they truly alive? They are cut off from land, from safety, from any source of help. They are completely at the ...read more

How Similar Is The Flying Scroll And Basket Like Christians Today?

Why did God want Israel to destroy Bashan? Let's begin in Deuteronomy 3.

Whose Slave Are You?

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Sep 27, 2021

We have all heard of Christians being referred to as servants, as sheep, as sons, as the bride of Christ, and as the body of Christ, but now we are told that we are slaves?
