A Model Worth Following Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Mar 19, 2003

Paul and his team authentically modeled the message, focusing on the praise of God, not men. We must do the same and be as gentle as a mother and as firm as a father with those we are hoping to influence.

Marks of a Healthy Church After the sermon last week, someone came up to me and asked me a question: “If First Thessalonians is one of the shortest and easiest books to understand, why are you taking 14 weeks to preach through it?” I told him that he should be glad I’m not preaching through the ...read more

The clash between Jesus and the religious leaders was over the Sabbath. They never forgave Him for what He did on the Sabbath days, and then when He said, “…..The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath,” (Mark 2:27) they hated Him.

Corporate Worship Is The Best Worship (Psalm 42:1-11) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 27, 2025

There's something special about worshipping God together. My starting point was wanting to study "deep calls to deep." Written during the covid insanity, when Christians were scared of, or banned from, public worship.

One of my kids asked me this week what it means, when "deep calls to deep." I told her, "I have no idea." But I promised her I'd study that next. And after using google, I found out that what we are going to work through this week, apparently, is Psalm 42. Let's ...read more

Like An Ox To The Slaughter Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 23, 2022

Wouldn't be nice if the choice we have to make in life where black and white, simple and clear cut ... but they aren't. In Proverbs 7, Solomon uses a 'spicy' way to discussing how Sin can be right up in our face and yet we can't see it ... until it's too late.

Last week we looked at Proverbs 9 in which Solomon contrasts Lady Wisdom with Lady Folly. Solomon attempts to make the choice between Wisdom and Folly as clear and as obvious as possible in the hopes of helping us to make the right choice. Would that it were that simple, amen, as making such an ...read more
