Does The Virgin Birth Matter? Series

The virgin birth is necessary if prophecy is to be fulfilled. Satan sought to usurp the place of God, appropriating worship to himself. Though he did deceive our first mother, God intervened to ensure that he could not destroy mankind.

“The LORD God said to the serpent, ‘Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and ...read more

The Origin Of The Marriage Covenant

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 16, 2022

Marriage is the one institution in America that is under the most satanic attack! I believe the main reason so many couples are getting divorced is because they have forgotten the origins of the Marriage Covenant itself.

Celebrity marriages often happen at the drop of a hat and crash and burn just as quickly. Some celebrity couples stay together for years ...read more

Is God's Presence A Desirable Thing? (Exodus 20:21-26) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 14, 2022

Exodus puts two pictures of God, back to back. In #1, God is glorious, and "big," and scary. In #2, God also offers to come and be present in worship. Is this offer something we should want?

Christians often have negative attitudes about sacrifice in the OT. There's maybe four reasons for this: (1) We don't really understand sacrifice very well at all. It's foreign to us, and confusing. And I include myself in this. (2) We maybe know that the OT has a number of really ...read more

Love And Truth - The Dynamic Duo! Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Jun 1, 2025

Today we are going to focus – maybe refocus on Love – John was called the apostle of Love and He knew love and truth had to be linked together to be able to live in a world which distorted both love and truth! The two are a dynamic duo!

Children And Parents (Ephesians 6:1-4) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 15, 2025

Children obey, and parents (not just fathers) are to instruct in a way that doesn't make their kids angry. Is that even possible? Also: fathers are not the spiritual heads of the house.

The last two weeks, we focused on husbands and wives. We saw that when Paul addressed husbands and wives, he did ...read more
