Trustworthy Saying - Part 1

Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Oct 14, 2024

There are some truths that impact me and my walk. Paul talks about some of these truths with the phrase, "They saying is trustworthy." Let's look at them over the next few weeks.

The Saying Is Trustworthy (1 Tim 4:7-10) Intro: A. It was a temptation, not the only and not the greatest. It was a temptation to see how he would do. I am going to tempt you because I don’t believe that in your current situation you will be able to live up to what is professed about you. ...read more

How Do We Differ From The Forgiver That Would Not Forgive?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Apr 15, 2024

What if God did to us what this man did to another?

This passage of Scripture responds to Peter's inquiry concerning how often he ought to pardon a brother (or sister) who sins against him. Jesus explains with an illustration concerning the servant and a king. The king excuses the man's tremendous, unpayable obligation. However, the servant ...read more

Faith Not Legalism (Galatians 3)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 18, 2024

Did Jesus say that until heaven and earth pass away, obedience to the law remains? Did the apostles contradict Him? Let's find out in Galatians 3.

Paul explained how we are justified by grace through faith, not works of the law. How is Abraham a model for Christians? Who are the real children of Abraham? What about Christians who insist on the works of the law? Is the law continued in spirit, discontinued in the letter, and thus transformed ...read more

Rejoice In The Lord (2)

Contributed by Barnabas Park on May 23, 2025

Paul repeats “Rejoice in the Lord” as a spiritual safeguard, warning that false teachings—such as those of the Judaizers—can rob believers of their joy by shifting their confidence from Christ to the flesh.

"Rejoice in the Lord" (2) Philippians 3:1-7 1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you. 2 Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. 3 For we are the ...read more

Blessed… Praise Be!

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 14, 2026

The Beatitudes expose neutral faith, declaring where life with God truly exists and refusing to let blessing remain comfortable.

“Blessed…” That word is so familiar to us that it barely registers anymore. We hear it and we nod. We hear it and we assume we know what comes next. Blessed — we think — means approved. Comfortable. Favored. Safe. Almost instinctively, the response follows. Praise be. We say it quickly. We say ...read more

Rest For The Restless

Contributed by David Dunn on Feb 7, 2026

God invites weary hearts to leave the world’s restless search for the new and return to Christ, the old path of rest.

We live in an age enamored by the new. New technology. New methods. New philosophies. New spiritual voices. New versions of truth. Everything must be updated, rebranded, optimized, improved. If something is old, we tend to assume it must be outdated. If something is new, we assume it must be ...read more

How Dare You Be Merciful!!! Series

Contributed by Carl Willis on Mar 7, 2006

Jonah knew God’s grace, but he didn’t want God to be merciful. Jonah complains in anger, but God responds with another lesson in grace.

Jonah 4:1 (NLT) This change of plans upset Jonah, and he became very angry. Unrighteous Anger • Jonah did not want to see the Gentiles spared – He did not want to share God’s message – The Israelites were God’s people, there was no room for anyone else • Jonah had forsaken God’s call for His ...read more

Belonging At The King's Table Series

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 14, 2022

I love this story! It’s a story of incredible, undeserved kindness. We live in a harsh world, and while there are stories of kindness out there, it’s far too uncommon. The world will show kindness to its own, but we are called to show kindness to anyone and everyone, even our enemies. But why?

1. Mephibosheth Who was Mephiboshet? —Background: II Sam. 4:4 —He was a cripple. Our culture has changed certain words, such as “lame” or “dumb.” Mephibosheth was a cripple, that is, he was lame. —He was Jonathan’s son. As you’ll recall, Jonathan was David’s best friend.

Reinventing The Church 2 Series

Contributed by Kent Kessler on Aug 30, 2007

We will no longer be a “Silent” Church, but a “Story” Church! IN REINVENTING THE CHURCH WE MUST SEE THAT OUR STORIES OF THE RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE WITH JESUS CHRIST MUST BE SHARED WITH THE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

Last week I spoke about how the church is in crisis and unless we REINVENT the church, she will continue to die a slow but sure death. One of the ways we need to REINVENT the church today is by no longer being a COME AND GET IT church, but instead, a GO AND GET THEM church as Jesus modeled when ...read more
