Heroes And Villains Series

Contributed by David Owens on Mar 23, 2020

As Paul concludes his letter to the Romans, he commends many people in Rome while warning them of others. Paul's long list of people gives us a rare snapshot into the nature of the early church.

Rebuke Hirelings

This message aims to proclaim that hirelings are not true shepherds.

Lessons From The Seven Churches

Contributed by Jeff Hagan on Apr 28, 2022

Revelation was written to seven specific churches at a specific time in a specific place for a specific reason. However, what lessons can we learn from this valuable book of the bible?

1. Ephesus: The Ephesian church is commended for its works—the preaching, perseverance and serving by the early disciples (Revelation 2:1–3). Even they had to discern between false teachers and teachers of the Truth. However, the church was told that "you have left your first love" ...read more

Teaching

Contributed by Grant Adams on May 4, 2022

Charles Barkley many years ago, came out and said, "I am not a role model." The truer statement is I am not a good role model or a bad role model, but we are all role models. The same is with teaching. We are all teachers. Some are good and some not so good.

This morning I would like to continue along the lines of what a Christian is and does. I know we are salt and light, and we do this as we are Christlike. But let's consider one other thought today, that Christians are teachers. I know some of you already tuned me out. You say, “Preacher I'm ...read more

2 Corinthians Series: That Ain't Jesus Series

Contributed by Troy Borst on Oct 7, 2025

The Apostle Paul uses irony to engage the Corinthians’ attention, sarcasm to sting their heart and emotions, and satire to convince the Corinthians that false teachers have been misleading them and they are believing so-called truth about the Gospel that is not true at all.

Beware Of Ravenous Wolves Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 23, 2024

Things are not always as they seem; and Jesus shares what to look for in identifying false prophets. These are false teachers, ravenous wolves, who seek to feed and save themselves, rather than feed and protect the flock.

Allow me to begin with an illustration: As Little Red Riding Hood is heading to her grandmother’s house; a wolf comes along and finds out where she lives. He travels ahead, enters the house, and eats the grandmother! When Little Red Riding Hood arrives, she notices her grandmother’s unusual ...read more

Our Troublesome Tongues

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 26, 2024

As James challenges his readers to have a true religion, he comes to a part of our faith-life that is nearly impossible to control - our tongues.

Before we dive into the main content of the message today, I want to point out something rather obvious - there are no notes in your bulletins. There is a sense in which this sermon is set up fairly similarly to others - a couple of main points with smaller points, but there is also a sense in ...read more
