How To Get Along With Christians

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Aug 4, 2024

Jesus said that our love for other believers would be a testimony to the gospel. But sometimes, it's hard to tolerate, much less love, our fellow Christians. In his letter to the Colossians, Paul tells us how to do it.

As I look around the room this morning, I see a lot of white and gray hair. That’s nothing to be ashamed of; in fact, Proverbs 16:31 tells us that “Gray hair is a crown of glory”. A “crown of glory”. I like that. My problem is that my crown gets a little smaller every year. By the way, I tried to ...read more

When God Gives Up On Human Sinfulness Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Mar 7, 2024

Three times in this passage it is stated that God gave up evil humanity to its own devices. A serious warning to our generation.

1:24 “Therefore God also gave them up …” Therefore. The wrath is coming. We deserve the wrath that is coming. Why? Well, men knew the truth of God and suppressed it. They could see His attributes, but they ignored Him. They did not glorify Him. They were not thankful to Him. They thought they ...read more

"he Is Risen!" Now What?

Contributed by Robert Walderman on Mar 18, 2024

He is Risen, but we ask, “What now?” What does it mean for us and how does it impact our lives today? Is it just to be an awesome historical event and left there? The answer is no.

HE IS RISEN! (He is Risen indeed!) That is the shouted declaration of triumph and its reaffirming response. The fact that Christ is risen is the pinnacle of our Christian faith. Christianity stands or falls on the resurrection. The Apostle Paul stated; “For what I received I passed on to you ...read more

When God Forces Himself To Not Help (Isaiah 42:10-17) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 17, 2024

We can choose to live in a way where God will restrain himself, and resist the urge to help his people. God describes himself as a woman in labor, who has been fighting the urge to push.

Imagine today that the prophet of Isaiah 40-55 stands up in the midst of God's exiled people in Babylon, and he gives them a new word from God. He speaks out in a loud, clear voice. And this is what he says, verses 12-13: (10) Sing to Yahweh a new song; his praise from the end of the earth, ...read more

Legitimate Use Of Rituals Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 29, 2024

For a person to be declared righteous by God, rituals/sacraments are unnecessary. Justification is by faith alone. So, what is the value of rituals like water baptism and the Lord's Supper? Using Romans 4:11, this message seeks to answer that question.

Intro Last week we expounded Romans 4:9-12. There Paul used Abraham’s experience to prove circumcision is not a prerequisite for justification. In that study, we did not have time to talk about why God gave Abraham the rite of circumcision. If it is of no value for justification, then what is its ...read more

Faithful And Unfaithful Servants (Isaiah 22:15-25; Revelation 3:7-13) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 22, 2025

Focus is on the "key of David" as being about access to David's house/kingdom. Jesus has this key. Also, a focus on how Rev. uses OT in a not-straightforward way. Prophecy-fulfillment is not a good core model to use.

Last week, we took a one week rabbit trail into the first part of Isaiah 22. Today, we'll begin by finishing off Isaiah 22, reading the second oracle in that chapter. I will then more or less smoothly transition back to Revelation, to the letter addressed to the church in Philadelphia. So ...read more

Tearing Down The Strongholds PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 9, 2025

The sermon encourages believers to rely on God’s strength and prayer to overcome inner battles, renew their minds, and stand firm in spiritual warfare.

Some mornings feel like you wake up to a battle you didn’t see coming. The coffee is warm, but the thoughts are loud. A whisper worries you. A memory needles you. A headline makes your heart heavy. Your calendar says Tuesday, but your soul says “tired.” Ever been there? The pressure you can’t put ...read more

I Messed Up… But God Cleaned Me Up! PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 9, 2025

God’s mercy meets us in our deepest failures, offering forgiveness, cleansing, and restoration when we honestly confess and turn to Him with humble hearts.

If you’ve ever sat in the quiet and felt the ache of regret—the kind that whispers, “How did I end up here?”—you’re in good company. If you’ve replayed a conversation you can’t unsay, a click you can’t undo, a glance that went too far, a promise you didn’t keep, you’re not alone. The Bible doesn’t ...read more

Friend, you made it. Another week of noise, news, and nagging worries, and here you are—hungry for a word from Heaven. Maybe your heart feels thin. Maybe your prayers feel like paper airplanes tossed into a stiff wind. Maybe a smile covers a soul that feels scattered. Take a breath. The God who ...read more

The Rechabites' Testimony PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 12, 2025

The sermon emphasizes steadfast obedience to God amid cultural pressures, highlighting how consistent faithfulness and convictions can leave a lasting legacy and honor God.

Some families pass down recipes, some pass down stories, some pass down the old pocketknife with a smooth handle and a history. The Rechabites passed down a way to walk with God. Simple. Steady. Set like wet cement that hardened into holy habit. And in a world that shifts and shouts and sells ...read more
