    There are three distinct aspects of salvation: justification, sanctification, and glorification. This message will give details of each.

    For the past few weeks we have been talking about being set apart from the rest of the world. We are set apart because we are Holy as we work at becoming as much like God as we can. In this process we are sanctified, or in the process of being sanctified. That's the direction that we're ...read more

    Sackcloth and ashes. Fasting and weeping. Tearing clothes and pulling out hair. Lying face down in the dirt. What does repentance look like for New Testament believers? The Prophet Zephaniah reminds of us what believers do when they are repentant.

    Sackcloth and ashes. Fasting and weeping. Tearing clothes and pulling out hair. Lying face down in the dirt. Those are some powerful pictures of repentance, wouldn’t you agree? And what were Old Testament believers saying with these traditions? Wearing clothes made from rough ...read more

    Christ Lifted Up

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 25, 2025
     | 114 views

    Looking to the crucified Christ does not erase every snake, yet it drains sin’s poison and gives real, resurrecting life.

    So close, and yet so far. That phrase has a sting to it, doesn’t it? When your destination is right there. When what you’ve longed for is finally within sight. When you can feel the finish line in your bones… and suddenly the road you’re on dissolves beneath your feet. Israel knew that ...read more

    Proclaiming The Good News Rightly Series

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Feb 17, 2024
     | 3,202 views

    The way one speaks the truth, by which one has been set free, truly matters! When we share the Good News, our intention isn’t to cause harm, provoke anger, instigate conflict, diminish spirits, or condemn others but to tell them that the grace God has given us is being offered to them as well!

    Proclaiming the Good News Righteously 1 Thessalonians 2:1-6 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 For over 2,000 years humanity has been wrestling with how to proclaim the Good News.

    Why Do We Suffer?

     | 1,697 views

    No matter which direction you turn, it won't take long to come across someone who is suffering. And the common question that is asked in the midst of that suffering is, why me? Unfortunately, many individuals never get past those words.

    Today we're going to try to answer the question why do we suffer. The very first class that I was able to take in seminary was entitled the problems of evil and suffering. That class raised the same question that we're going to try to answer today. Why do we suffer? No matter which ...read more

    It Never Crossed His Mind Again

    Contributed by Russell (Rusty) Pruitt on Jul 15, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,415 views

    Although Jesus was and is fully God, He was and is fully man. He can feel what we feel because, as the Word says, He was “…in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin” (Heb. 4:15). We are going to look at how His faith was tested, but He did not sin – not even one time.

    IT NEVER CROSSED HIS MIND AGAIN TEXT: HEBREWS 12:1-3 INTRODUCTION: We are told to “consider” Jesus, Who “endured the cross” and despised “the shame.” He endured the shame because of, “the joy that was set before Him.” He is the beginner and finisher of our faith. He walked the way of faith first ...read more

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 32 – Infants Die Of Hunger; Rich And Opulent Now Devastated In The Street; Judah’s Sin Greater Than Sodom - Chapter 4:3-7 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 2, 2025
     | 178 views

    Devastating is Jeremiah’s description, for the suffering of infants is great. Judah sinned worse than Sodom. Once devastated, the rich became as poor. The world is in a lamentable situation, but refuses to look at the basic underlying cause - man’s sin against God. Repentance is needed!

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 32 – INFANTS DIE OF HUNGER; RICH AND OPULENT NOW DEVASTATED IN THE STREET; JUDAH’S SIN GREATER THAN SODOM - CHAPTER 4:3-7 These laments continue and there is some “what was” and “what is now” in this message.

    Sermon: If The Foundations Be Destroyed, What Can The Righteous Do?

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 4, 2025
     | 450 views

    If all earthly things fail, and the very State falls to pieces, what can we do? David suggests that the righteous, if necessary, can (1) suffer joyfully, (2) hope cheerfully, (3) wait patiently, (4) pray earnestly, (5) believe confidently, and if they do, they will triumph finally.

    Sermon: If the Foundations be Destroyed, What Can the Righteous Do? Psalms 11:1-7 “I trust in the Lord for protection. So why do you say to me, “Fly like a bird to the mountains for safety! The wicked are stringing their bows and fitting their arrows on the bowstrings. They shoot from the shadows ...read more
