https://www.youtube.com/live/RjfNok1Ssao?si=ra6qXdeGOvqMeTF9&t=2037 In Jesus’ prayer on behalf of the church (John 17:20-26), He prayed for unity among believers as they testify of the good news of the kingdom of God. Over the next few Sundays, we will discuss this very important topic in more detail as we are “endeavoring to keep the unity of the SpiritContinueContinue reading “7 Blessings Inherent to Forgiveness”

Will You Die in Your Sins? (John 8:12-30)
If you die without Christ, you will die in your sins and what awaits you is torment and everlasting damnation. Jesus proclaimed: “I am the light of the world, whoever believes in Me shall never walk in darkness but will have the light of life” (John 8:12). The Pharisees responded by arguing with Him. TheyContinueContinue reading “Will You Die in Your Sins? (John 8:12-30)”
Stiff-necked and Hard-hearted (John 7:1-36)
https://www.youtube.com/live/9poxYdb66ZU?feature=share&t=2770 One characteristic of Jesus’ ministry is that a lot of people didn’t know what to think of Him. He defied expectations and shattered preconceived notions. One out of many examples is that Jesus didn’t drive the Romans out of Jerusalem, but drove the Jews out of the Temple. Speaking of defying expectations, the GalileansContinueContinue reading “Stiff-necked and Hard-hearted (John 7:1-36)”

It’s a Rerun (Genesis 20)
This message from Genesis 20 might seem like a rerun. Tell me if you have heard this before? Abraham is scared that a foreign king will kill him in order to take his wife. He devises a plan to pretend that she is not his wife, but just his sister so that they will treatContinueContinue reading “It’s a Rerun (Genesis 20)”
Our Mission: Bringing the Love of Christ to a Hurting World
What happens when a church forgets her purpose? She becomes distracted and unconcerned as the devil steals, kills, and destroys. Do not be deceived, our enemy is on the prowl and ready to pounce; sowing seeds of discord in the world and leaving a trail of destruction. Jesus came to “destroy the works of theContinueContinue reading “Our Mission: Bringing the Love of Christ to a Hurting World”
Noah’s Altar (Genesis 8:20-22)
Over the past few weeks we have learned about Noah and the flood. In Genesis 6, God saw that the world was corrupt because of the wickedness of man. God decided to destroy the earth with a flood. Before the flood came, however, Noah found favor with God because he was a righteous man. GodContinueContinue reading “Noah’s Altar (Genesis 8:20-22)”
Noah and the Flood (Genesis 6)
Thus far in our study of Genesis we have learned that God created everything “and saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good” (1:31). A key part of God’s creation is humans uniquely created in His image (1:27). Tragically, the first humans rebelled against God resulting in a broken world filledContinueContinue reading “Noah and the Flood (Genesis 6)”
The Way of Cain (Genesis 4)
Adam was created and blessed by God but sinned against God by choosing His blessings more than His presence. Last week we learned that God graciously forgave his and Eve’s sin, but sin has consequences. In Genesis 4, we learn about a man named Cain and are commanded not to follow in his steps. Cain’sContinueContinue reading “The Way of Cain (Genesis 4)”
The Fall of Man (Genesis 3)
In Genesis 1 and 2, God made man and gave him a beautiful home, job, and wife. Everything seemed so perfect, what could possibly go wrong? In this Sunday’s sermon we shall study Genesis 3 and learn how sinful it is to desire God’s blessings more than God’s presence. The Con (3:1-6). In this sectionContinueContinue reading “The Fall of Man (Genesis 3)”
