    3rd in long series on Joshua. This is about the temptation to settle in, to give up when it gets hard, to accept less than the best.

Through the hymns have sung and will sing, through our Scripture readings, and now in our sermon together we are considering the details and the meaning of our Savior’s transfiguration.

    The Truth About Salvation, Part 4 Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Nov 3, 2025
     | 122 views

    When challenged, John the Baptist does not fall into the trap of responding from “ego”, rather, he simply testifies to what is true and lets it speak for itself! This is our calling today, and what we must model also.

     | 2,972 views

    Some truths, those that define the Faith of Christ the Lord, demand that we stand firm in defending them against distortion. The faithful depend upon each of us as followers of Christ to defend the Faith, speaking the truth in love.

    The Bible speaks of many "one anothers", and these should be considered as our duties. Often times we are so focused on self that we fail to look towards others. We need to put others even above ourselves.

    Our Duty to One Another Introduction: In today’s world we are very private. We like to keep our business to ourselves and we are very comfortable without anyone interfering with our personal business. When someone does decide to attempt to get themselves involved in our business we call them ...read more
