Christ Vs Traditions (Colossians 2)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 23, 2024

Is our faith based upon Christ or human traditions? Let's look in Colossians 2.

Church traditions build upon the foundation of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 3:10-15). Some traditions are like gold, silver and precious stones. Some are as worthless as wood, hay and stubble, not surviving the testing fire of God’s judgment. Upon whom do we base our faith? Let’s discuss this in ...read more

More Precious Than Gold Series

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Oct 25, 2025

This sermon teaches that our trials are like a refiner's fire, designed by God to prove and purify our faith—which is more precious than gold—so that it will result in praise, honor, and glory at Christ's return.

Introduction: The Purpose of the "Need Be" In our last study, we faced the difficult paradox that we can "greatly rejoice" even while we are "in heaviness." We learned that our trials are temporary—just for a season—and that they are purposeful—there is a "need ...read more

Conditional Promises (1 Kings 9)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 22, 2025

Do we have conditional promises in regard to obedience? Let's begin in 1 Kings 9.

You Have A Part To Play Series

Contributed by John Baker on May 7, 2008

Every part is needed within the church. There are no useless or devalued parts. When every part does not do its part we can not be what we are to be as a church.

Born Again?

Contributed by David Wilson on May 17, 2012

Jesus shares with Nicodemus the need to be born again as the basis for righteousness, spirtual perception, and eternal life.

VERSES 1-2 A Visit at night Nicodemus approaches Jesus by night. We need to remember that in the days before electricity people did not usually run around at night. There are only two assumptions we can make about Nicodemus visiting Christ at night and both of them are reasonable. First, that ...read more

Because Of The Grace Of God

Contributed by Efren V. Narido on Jul 20, 2007

Are you saved, because you are better than the rest – that you are not “self-seeking” and you embrace the truth and follow what is good? Did God save you, because you are not stubborn?

“You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. So when you, a mere ...read more

The Pilgrimage Road Of Faith: What Does It Mean To Walk By Faith? Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 6, 2024

This road can only be walked by faith. It can only be walked in deep connection to God through Jesus Christ. We’re going to press toward the goal on this road.

How do we walk the road of faith? It's completely different than walking as a man of the world. So, we become like toddlers who are unable to walk, and we must learn to walk. How does that work? God walks before us, in front of us, holding our hands, and teaches us to walk by faith. He does ...read more

The Great Reversal

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Aug 24, 2025

In God's Kingdom, our true identity and reason for rejoicing are found not in our financial status, which is temporary and fragile, but in our eternal position in Christ, which is permanent and secure.

Introduction: The Status Game Our world is obsessed with a game, and it’s a game we are all forced to play from the moment we are old enough to understand it. It’s the status game. We measure ourselves and we measure each other constantly, don't we? We notice the car someone drives into the ...read more
