Is there a time to use this kind of language, and if so, how can we know we are using it rightly?

Series: Sin · Temptation · Worldliness · SatanService: Sunday AMType: SermonSpeaker: Stephen RussellWhen Adam and Eve sinned in the garden, they joined a rebellion that continues until this day. It is a rebellion that everyone who rejects God joins whether they know it or not. We will examine that idea throughout our lesson today.

Series: The Church · Fellowship · UnityService: Sunday AMType: SermonSpeaker: Stephen RussellAs we continue our series through the book of 1 Corinthians, we come this morning to chapter 11. This chapter causes a lot of questions about the covering and about how we partake of the Lord's Supper. But first and foremost it is a chapter about accepting how God has ordered us under His headship and how we are ordered within the body of Christ.

Series: Gospel · Salvation · Grace · Faith · BaptismService: Sunday PMType: SermonSpeaker: Marshall McDanielCan we really know we are going to heaven? Some Christians have a tough time answering this question with confidence. In this study, we examine key passages in First John to show not only that we can know but also how we can know.

Series: The Church · Fellowship · UnityService: Sunday AMType: SermonSpeaker: Stephen RussellAs we continue through the book of Ephesians, we come to Paul's discussion of the mystery that he had been given the task and privilege of revealing to the Gentiles. What was that mystery and how does it impact us today? That will be the focus of our sermon today.

But after the wall is complete, there are seven more chapters about what came next. The work of restoration had to continue. There are many lessons to learn from what came next.

Series: Gospel · Salvation · Grace · Faith · BaptismService: Sunday AMType: SermonSpeaker: Marshall McDanielGod is faithful. He never makes a promise that he does not keep. The gospel is the story of fulfilled promises. Will we pledge faithfulness to the faithful Lord Jesus?

Series: Work · Service · Prosperity · Poverty · ContentmentService: Sunday PMType: SermonSpeaker: Caleb BossTonight we'll aim to define the Christian's relationship with busyness from a biblical perspective. Should we be busy? If so, how often? What should we be busy about? If God controlled our schedule, what would it look like?

Series: N/AService: Sunday AMType: SermonSpeaker: Stephen RussellWe are told of many things that are true but not seen in this world. But we must learn to live like we can see them because they are the truest things that exist.

Series: The Church · Fellowship · UnityService: Sunday AMType: SermonSpeaker: Marshall McDanielWe live in a culture that prizes personal freedom, but Christians, according to 1 Corinthians 8–10, must never prioritize liberty over love for God and others. Continuing our ongoing series through First Corinthians, we will examine 1 Corinthians 8–10 to determine how we can have unity in liberty.

Series: False Doctrine · ApostasyService: Sunday PMType: SermonSpeaker: Marshall McDanielWhat does repentance look like for people in unlawful marriages? In the Old Testament, Ezra commanded those who had married foreign women to divorce, but some today suggest that Ezra got it wrong, that he misinterpreted the Law. Did he? This sermon argues that Ezra was not wrong and that his demand for those in illicit marriages to divorce is consistent with Scripture—both the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Series: The Church · Fellowship · UnityService: Sunday AMType: SermonSpeaker: Stephen RussellThis morning, we continue our series through the book of Ephesians in chapter 2 and verses 11–22. Paul shows how Gentiles who were far off have been brought near and made one with Jewish Christians through Jesus Christ.

Series: N/AService: Sunday AMType: SermonSpeaker: Marshall McDanielChristians sometimes use the word “providence” to describe the “behind-the-scenes” activity of God. But what is providence, how does God work in our lives, and how should we respond to providence? In this thematic study of Ezra, we find biblical answers to these questions.

Series: The Church · Fellowship · UnityService: Sunday PMType: SermonSpeaker: Stephen RussellAs we continue our series through the book of 1 Corinthians, we come to one of the more complex chapters. Chapter seven calls us to not get blinded by our circumstances but to always maintain a clear picture of what our faithfulness to Jesus looks like in any circumstance.

Series: God · Jesus Christ · The Holy SpiritService: Sunday AMType: SermonSpeaker: Marshall McDanielPeople often assume that slavery is inherently evil, but the Bible presents an alternative view and even uses the slave-master metaphor to describe spiritual relationships. This study surveys slavery in Bible times and the New Testament words translated “slave” (or “bondservant”) and then concludes with doctrinal and applicational lessons from slavery.

Series: Creation · Evidences · ApologeticsService: Wednesday PMType: Gospel MeetingSpeaker: Joshua GurtlerThis lesson dispels neo-Darwinian evolution in three points:a lack of missing-link fossils,scientists have found fleshy dinosaur tissue and DNA, which they say is over 65 million years old (which is impossible), andneo-Darwinian evolution has been renounced by the best evolutionists for over 70 years.

Series: Creation · Evidences · ApologeticsService: Tuesday PMType: Gospel MeetingSpeaker: Joshua GurtlerWe are told that neo-Darwinian evolution is science, and the science is settled. In fact, the very last thing neo-Darwinian evolution is is science.

Series: Creation · Evidences · ApologeticsService: Monday PMType: Gospel MeetingSpeaker: Joshua GurtlerThis lesson contrasts neo-Darwinian evolution with intelligent design, and also demonstrates multiple lines of geological evidence for the Noahic global flood.

Series: Creation · Evidences · ApologeticsService: Sunday PMType: Gospel MeetingSpeaker: Joshua GurtlerIn this lesson we will learn that variation within an animal kind (microevolution) does not equate to macroevolution (evolving from microbe to man. We will also look at how all the animals fit in Noah's ark, chimp vs. human DNA, and the ice age. 

Series: Gospel · Salvation · Grace · Faith · BaptismService: Sunday AMType: Gospel MeetingSpeaker: Joshua GurtlerThis lesson emphasizes the fact that to protect our children from worldly influences we have to teach them to love the Lord Jesus more than they love the world.Note: We suffered a power failure during brother Gurtler's lesson. He was able to bring it to a close gracefully, but he was not able to cover all the material in this lesson he had intended.

Series: Suffering · Persecution · PerseveranceService: Saturday PMType: Gospel MeetingSpeaker: Joshua GurtlerThis question has long been the refuge of atheists looking for an excuse to dismiss the divine. It is, nevertheless, not an illegitimate question: it has troubled humanity since practically the beginning. Our speaker has some personal experience with the matter and shows us that while God may not dispel all of the mystery and answer every single question we may have, his word gives us some very satisfactory answers.

Series: The Church · Fellowship · UnityService: Sunday PMType: SermonSpeaker: Stephen RussellWe have had a couple of lessons about withdrawal over the last couple of months. Now we come to a hopeful conclusion by considering what it looks like to repair broken fellowship.

Series: Gospel · Salvation · Grace · Faith · BaptismService: Sunday AMType: SermonSpeaker: Marshall McDanielThe book of Romans regularly uses military imagery to describe the former, present, and future life of a Christian. Once we fought against God, now we fight for God, and someday we will gain the ultimate victory over sin and death. Accordingly, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
