Known In Hell!

Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 11, 2022

Fasting Series

Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jun 22, 2022

This sermon addresses the reality that Jesus fasted so we should fast. Jesus understood the importance of fasting when it came to spiritual warfare, and he also understood the importance of fasting when it came to intimacy with God. It is a spiritual practice that still has validity for today.

Blinded Minds Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Jul 1, 2022

Romans 1:24–32 vividly portrays the consequences of a blinded mind to God and God’s abandonment of the rebellious showing: 1) The Essence (Romans 1:24–25), 2) The Expression (Romans 1:26–27), and 3) The Extent (Romans 1:28–32) of human sinfulness.

Romans 1:24–32. 24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever!

True Freedom

Stages On The Journey

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 2, 2022

On the journey of faith, our spiritual vision is often clouded. As we continue on the journey, Jesus corrects our spiritual vision. We are to remain on the journey of faith, looking to Jesus for improved vision. Luke gives us three reasons.

I am looking at this passage as a portrayal of the Christian journey of faith. Like all journeys, the Christian pilgrimage through life has a point of departure, a destination, and a route through which we travel from one to the other. Verse 39 shows us a pilgrim who has just begun the journey. ...read more
