Greed Or God - Matthew 6:24 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 4, 2024

Jesus says we can’t serve two masters, but who wants to serve two masters? Most people would say that’s 2 too many. They assume they serve zero masters.

Exodus 32:1-35 - Leadership Challenges And Failures

Contributed by Carl Willis on Apr 18, 2024

Moses is taking too long and the people are grumbling. Aaron has a choice to make and instead of standing strong he chooses the path of compromise.

We are jumping back into Exodus, so we want to recap a little bit. Exodus is the story of the people of Israel being delivered from captivity by God Himself, using Moses as His leader. Today, we're going to be in Chapter 32, where we'll study two lessons in leadership with Moses and Aaron. ...read more

Sleepy Judas - Mark 14:10-16 Series

When Babylons Fall, Cry, Or Celebrate? (Revelation 18:1-19) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 11, 2023

A practical, no-rapture, academically rigorous approach to Revelation. A call to rejoice, and to "come out" from every Babylon.

Jesus And The Agnostics - Mark 11:27-33 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Feb 11, 2024
