Christ Crucified — The Heart Of Our Worship

Contributed by Ronald Moore on Mar 21, 2025

When St. Paul wrote to the Corinthians, he was addressing a church in the middle of a bustling, worldly city — a place full of ideas, arguments, opinions, and ambitions. Sound familiar? And yet Paul doesn’t try to impress them.

The Paradox Of Weakness

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Feb 22, 2025

This morning we looked at St. Paul's teaching about Weakness, and the Paradox of the fact that the weaker he was, and of course, the weaker we are, the greater we can see God as He uses us as a painter uses a canvas.

Good morning. We read from Paul, If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. I hope to show you this morning, as we look at Paul’s message to the Corinthians, that these might just be some of the most comforting words that you can find in the Bible. I’m thankful for these ...read more

Christian Unity provides the quintessential witness that allows us to move towards the goal of giving everyone the opportunity to know Jesus as we do.

So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried and failed. Our hope as leaders is that all of us will pick up God’s word and come to understand the true nature of God. After all, the bible is God’s Word curated over centuries detailing His nature, His will, the meaning of life and ...read more

Finding The Love Of Your Life Series

Contributed by Perry Fowler on Mar 20, 2025

Life is about what you love. Jesus said that we should love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. The Book of Titus challenges us to discover, "Who or what is really the love of your life."

Life is about what you love. In the last 300 years the way people see life and the definition of a “successful life” has changed. It has moved from morality to money; from God to goals, from Christ to culture. This is not new; this same setting was the type of culture Paul was addressing in the ...read more

Word Of Exhortation Pt. 1 Series

Contributed by Ricky Tuttle Thd on Oct 4, 2025

I do not have a fancy heading for our text today but I would like to open the Bible and let it narrate the events and travel of Paul and Barnabas.

“Word Of Exhortation Pt. 1” Acts 13:13-26 We saw last time that vs. 9 “Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,” From this time forward Paul will be the primary speaker. That does not change the ministry of Barnabas. If you are an encourager then you ...read more

Missionary Principles (Acts 20)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Sep 9, 2025

Do Paul's journeys teach us some principles for today?

Do missionaries often face danger? Are they still heroes of the church? Is training local leaders then leaving them in charge still good practice? Let’s look at Acts 20. Did Paul discover a plot against his life and take a different route? Are modern missionaries often in danger? When the uproar ...read more

Addressing The Council (Acts 23)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Sep 12, 2025

Persecution from within.

Were many Jews in Jerusalem unwilling to accept Paul’s teaching about Jesus? Have many churches repented of doctrinal error or stubbornly hardened their hearts? Let’s review Acts 23. Did Paul speak plainly to the Jewish Council in Jerusalem? Now looking intently at the Council, Paul said, ...read more

Paul, A Truly Blessed Man (Ephesians 3:1-14) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 15, 2025

How great a privilege it is, Paul thinks, to get to tell people the gospel.

Over the last few weeks, we've read what Paul has to say about this huge, cosmic plan that God has for the world. Before God sent Jesus, this cosmos was a terrible mess. There was a dividing wall of sin that existed between God and people. There was a dividing wall that separated out Jew ...read more

Addressing Festus (Acts 25)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Sep 18, 2025

Are we willing to go to dangerous places for the Gospel?

Did Paul’s enemies bring him before another governor? Are we willing to enter dangerous places for the Gospel? Let’s look at Acts 25. After Antonius Felix left office, did Paul appear before Porcius Festus? Festus then, having arrived in the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from ...read more

The Service Of Christ

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 10, 2013

The road which the Lord sets before us is not easy. It requires us to give up our selfish ambition, and to walk the path of service. Yet it is a route which leads to a crown of glory for ALL who follow Jesus.

THE SERVICE OF CHRIST. Mark 10:32-45. The disciples of Jesus were amazed that Jesus had ‘steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem’ (Luke 9:51). They were beginning to have the clear apprehension that such a route would lead to their Master’s premature death, and that the promises of His ...read more

#12 Parties, Patches And Wineskins Series

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Mar 16, 2020

This message describes Jesus' response to the Pharisees because His disciples did not fast. The Pharisees opposition stemmed from a defense of the status quo. Jesus came to smash the status quo and create something new and superior.

No Other Gospel

Contributed by Paul Arnold on Apr 23, 2018

What is the Good News? Paul is clear that there is no substitute for the real thing: Jesus Christ.

Beginning of a series… Paul had previous form in Galatia: he had been through Galatia on three separate missionary journeys. In fact, Acts 14:8-18 describes one such journey through Galatia when Paul and Barnabas were mistaken for Gods. These were people who were eager to receive God’s Good ...read more
