The Problem With Racism Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 24, 2025

During the days after the Civil War up thru the 1960s, there were many "Christians" in the U.S. who embraced bigotry and mistreated the black people around them. Why would supposed Christians do that, and how do we protect ourselves from that kind of evil?

Martin Luther King Jr. Day was last Monday (1/20/25). He once said: “The time is always right to do what is right.” Today, our sermon is going to be on racism, not because I think any of us are racist - but because, as Christians, we need to know what the Bible says about it. Martin Luther ...read more

Word Of Wisdom Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Aug 30, 2024

What is a "word" of wisdom? Is it just wisdom in general, or is it a supernatural impartation of guidance by the Holy Spirit? This message explains this supernatural operation of the Spirit and provides examples of its occurrence in Scripture and in the pastor's life.
