    A student in Bible School was confused when his theology professor began a series of lectures on Bible prophecy, or “eschatology” as he called it. The professor spoke about pre-millennialism, a-millennialism, and post-millennialism. Then he talked about the pre-trib, mid-trib, and ...read more

    This is the opening sermon in the series and explores Psalm 1 and the implications for Christians today.

We can focus on specific topics and each sermon pretty much stands alone. That is one of the reasons for studying the book of Psalms. ...read more

     | 676 views

    In the opening verses of Jude, we’re reminded that following Christ means embracing a new identity—one marked by complete submission and ownership by Jesus. This message calls the Church to stay alert and defend the faith from subtle internal threats that distort grace and divide the body.

    It’s the end of June of 2023. Crazy, isn’t it? Well I guess not really - that’s how time works.
