Fire Danger: High - James 3:2-10 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 23, 2021

We rarely have adequate conscious awareness of how dangerous our speech really is and the degree of damage that can be done by the forest fires our tongues can start. This message may be a hard one to listen to, but it is full of many crucial warnings. I urge you to give it a listen.

James 3:2 We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check. 3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large ...read more

Peter describes Jesus’ example not from his own memory but from Isaiah 53. Scripture is more powerful than eye-witness testimony.

1 Peter 2:21 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. 22 "He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth." 23 When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no ...read more

Christ Wins - 1 Peter 3:17-22 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jan 24, 2025

Scripture requires that we not only endure suffering for righteousness sake, but that we actually rejoice in it. How is that possible without pretending?

1 Peter 3:13 Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? 14 But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened." 15 But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who ...read more

God, The Good Shepherd, Will Bring You Home (Isaiah 49:7-14) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 7, 2024

God promises his exiled people He will bring them from shame to honor, from exile to home, from being prisoners to freedom.

The last few weeks, we've spent a fair bit of time studying, and circling around, Isaiah 49:1-6. These verses (I've argued) are the words of the exilic prophet, who feels like his ministry to Israel has been a waste. He's accomplished nothing. He's poured out his strength for ...read more

John 1:18 One God

Contributed by Carl Willis on Apr 22, 2024

What we know about God is what God reveals about Himself. We must allow God to determine our understanding of who He is.
