Groundbreaking

We held our groundbreaking for the new church building on Sunday, June 5. Much work lies ahead of us, but we are so grateful to finally be able begin the actual work of building after so many years of saving and planning.

Sermon: Revelation, Part 13 — The Great Day of His Wrath Is Coming

Judgment is inevitable. Whether judged at the cross or in the future, there is no avoiding the penalty for failure. Today’s sermon allows us to have a preview of future judgment from the perspective of heaven. None are able to avoid the providential day of God’s wrath. Full audio and video of the sermon are [...]

Sermon: Revelation, Part 12 — Who Is Worthy

Only one is worthy to receive the praise and honor which is the topic of today’s sermon. May we all be drawn closer to Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit as a result of understanding the remarkable difference in holiness between those things which we regard as important and the very Son of [...]

Sermon: Revelation, Part 11 — God and Man in Heaven

Do we mind (have our minds entirely occupied with) earthly things? Is there not a time to consider things of heaven? In today’s sermon we continue seeing heaven through the eyes of John. Our senses are insufficient for us to see the invisible, but we have the record of Scripture which gives us a glimpse [...]

Sermon: Mothers — Tools in The Hand of God

We take a brief break from our study of the Book of Revelation today to consider how important in the lives of children are their mothers. We’ll be staying in Proverbs today since it is replete with verses which discuss and describe how mothers are to apply instruction and to otherwise ensure that their children [...]

Having completed our study of the letters to the seven churches, we have a great shift in our perspective as we journey up to heavenly places. Full audio and video of the sermon are as follows:

Sermon: Revelation, Part 9 — Be Zealous and Repent

As we continue in our studies in Revelation, we come to seventh and final letter to the churches in Asia Minor. This was the church of Laodicea. For this church is reserved particular scorn because it was neither hot nor cold. That is, the people of the church were lukewarm in their worship of Christ. [...]

Sermon: Revelation, Part 8 — Word of His Patience

We look today at the letter of Jesus Christ which was written to the church at Philadelphia. It is interesting to note that Christ names Himself here as Holy (separate from evil and who hates it perfectly) and True (the very God and not a false god or otherwise a hypocrite). Philadelphia was the home [...]

Sermon: Revelation, Part 7 — Message to Sardis

What does it means for a family or an organization to die? We’ve seen it with churches or schools or other organizations, but what can be learned from such discouraging events? Today we look at the church at Sardis and consider a number of lessons which are encapsulated in this passage–lessons from a dying church. [...]

Sermon: Revelation, Part 6 — Jezebel Lessons

Moving on in our series on the Revelation, we come to the message to church at Thyatira. Specifically, we look at one strongly negative trait, in that the church had allowed someone to continue as a member of that group who had no business being part of and leading the people. Why? Because she was [...]
