2nd Sunday in Lent 2021 Imagine a young man, maybe eleven or twelve, picking up the Bible and reading this story of Abraham and his only son, Isaac. If he’s read the chapters leading up to this scene, he knows that Abraham and Sarah were promised a son by God, and that after decades of waiting, ...read more

The Bible And Abortion Series

I want to begin by saying that I was raised in a small country church with a pastor who loved the Lord and His people, and proclaimed only the basics, like sin, repentance, salvation, ...read more

Make Time For What's Important

Contributed by Jesse Kipper on Feb 22, 2002

This sermon concerns Mary and Martha and how we often get caught up in the details and forget about what is important.
