Discovering Genesis, Part 12 Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Nov 9, 2011

Part 12 of this series examines the rebellion at the Tower of Babel with a direct link to the same rebellion that we see in the faith today. Our desire must be to gather to worship the Lord, in everything that we do.

Defending The Faith Sermon V: Embrace The Distinctiveness Of Christ As King Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on May 6, 2020

In times of upheaval, as the Christian Faith is attacked by unbelievers and scoffers, we Christians must separate ourselves from those that deny and defy the Lord God but we wholeheartedly embrace Christ as King and Lord.

IN TIMES LIKE THESE . . . CHRISTIANS EMBRACE THE DISTINCTIVENESS OF CHRIST AS KING Statistically, what’s true of Christianity worldwide is not true of Christianity in the USA. It is without a doubt true that our nation is like the rest of the world in that all have sinned ...read more

The Devil In The "isms"

Contributed by Russell (Rusty) Pruitt on Oct 10, 2020

If we are to be successful as Christians, and as a local church, we must educate ourselves about satan’s evil purposes. I want to talk about satan’s influence in and through the “isms” of the world.

God: The Source Of Wisdom Series

Contributed by Daniel Teberian on Mar 16, 2023

James tells us exactly where wisdom comes from: God. Knowing that God is the ultimate source of all wisdom, we must trust in Him more than we trust in ourselves.

[James 1:5, ESV] I apologize in advance for being such a Bible geek, but I want to understand what the word “wisdom” means in this context. In the Greek, the word for wisdom is ...read more
