    The Absolute Source Of All Goodness

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Aug 26, 2025
     | 205 views

    In a world of shadows and decay, our hope is anchored in the absolute, unchanging goodness of God, who, as the ultimate Giver, sovereignly chose to give us His greatest gift: a new and eternal life through the word of truth.

    Introduction: From the Morgue to the Nursery Last time, we ended our time together in a very dark place. James gave us a clinical, almost cold, "anatomy of a sin." He showed us the grim, predictable life cycle of temptation: how our own desire conceives and gives birth to sin, and how ...read more

    The Veil Torn

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 12, 2025
     | 219 views

    When Jesus died, God Himself tore the temple curtain from top to bottom—forever removing every barrier between His holiness and our hearts. The way into His presence is wide open, not by our efforts or rituals, but by the finished work of Christ.

    Introduction – A Wall Comes Down, A Veil Is Rent Down I still remember the summer of 1964 when our family crossed from West Germany into East. We were crammed into a Volkswagen bus—my parents up front, four sisters and two brothers jammed shoulder to shoulder. The youngest, little Sarah, was still ...read more

    The past hundred years have brought many negatives including the social gospel movement. However, there have been movements to combat these with the truth. This lesson looks at both the good and bad of the past century.

    Over the course of the past 14 weeks, we have examined some of the most important periods in Church History. From the ancient creeds of the early church to the formal confessions of the protestant reformation, we have seen that throughout her existence the Church has always had people within who ...read more

    Jesus promise to prepare us room in his Father's house. There is more to that promise than the idea of our souls going to heaven to be with God. What did Jesus try to tell his disciples?

     | 6,509 views

    We continue to explore what "Putting on the New Man" entails. We, as children and imitators of God, should walk in love. But that gets complicated as we encounter sin in our lives.

    Over the Last few weeks and through the next couple of weeks, we have been looking at our lives in Christ. What does it look like? How are we support to act? Much of the new Testament, especially the writings of Paul, John and Peter, deal with the process of sanctification – the process of ...read more

    This sermon is a first-person narrative from the perspective of the innkeeper. We have all too often made the innkeeper into a bad guy. What if he did everything for the family that he could do?

    Well, it would seem I was between a rock and a hard place. I was in a situation, where there were no easy answers. I looked hard for the simple answers because, you know, they say the simplest is always the best. But, it wasn’t a simple lesson I faced. Later in his life Jesus faced several of those ...read more
