Introduction There is a country song by Aaron Tippin that has as its chorus this lyric: “He'd say you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything” If we as Christians or the church do not know what it is that we believe, then like the song we too will fall for anything. Not enough could…

Psalm 12 “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.” Do you know who said this?

The infallible rule of…

I. Inspiration Inspiration recognizes the role of the Holy Spirit in producing the Scriptures. Paul uses the term theopneustos giving us the idea of God “breathing out” the Scriptures.

Let us pray…God, may the words of my mouth, the meditations of all of our hearts, and the willingness of our spirits be pleasing unto you this day.

Let us pray…Gracious and loving God, as we gather this day, we are reminded that your love knows no limits and no bounds.

Today is “Father’s Day”. Statistics said a decade ago that if both father and mother go to church, 72% of the children will also go to church after they grow up. If only the father goes to church, the percentage drops to 55%. However, if only the mother goes to church, only 15% of those children will…

This morning, I want to begin a series in the book of Psalms by asking you a peculiar question: "Why are we so tired all the time?" I’m tired of this pandemic! I’m sick of wearing masks everywhere I go, I’m tired of social distancing and what it does to the local church. This seems to be a shared problem…

The Heathen’s Rage The Rage of Unbelief vs.1-3 a. The Character of the Rage (v.1a) The first voice heard in this opening line to Psalm 2 is the lost man crying out in defiance against God. It is a Rage that only a heathen would know. Remember the rage you use to have towards God. You say, I didnt have…

Introduction Today we’re going to explore the question ‘Why the KJV?’ It was a question that was posed to me just this past week (Ill.) - my conversation with Shane. This topic could easily warrant a series spanning a month at least, but we’re going to just hit some highlights today. Explain - not here…

Intro Earlier this year, I started reading The Chronicles of Narnia with Isabelle. We started out one night reading the first chapter of The Magician’s Nephew.

Good morning, turn in your Bibles with me to Luke chapter 3. As you are making your way there I want to speak a moment about the importance of God’s Word. The Preaching of the Word of God is the highest point of our Christian Worship. It is not because there is anything I do or anyone for that matter…

A wise person plays the long game. They don’t get distracted by the latest fad or fashion. They know what it is they are chasing and they are willing to work very hard to achieve it. They are willing to take risks, they are willing to sieze opportunities that come along, but only if those risks and opportunities…

This summer we are studying the book of Psalms - spending time with perhaps the most emotional man of God to walk the earth. From David, and the other composers of these Psalms, we are learning how to be people of God. What it really looks like. We have seen what it looks like to pray in times of hurt…

Intro Have you ever seen a picture of yourself and said, “That’s not what I look like, is it?” For most of us, it’s our drivers license. Does anyone have a drivers license pic that they pull out and go, “Man. I look good.” No, we all look terrible. You know that feeling though? Someone out in public…

In every culture there is a belief, a legend, a myth which grows over time and becomes part of the nations psych. In Australia we are familier with this concept. We have the idea of “a fair go for all” The idea of mateship. The legend of the ANZACs. We love a sunburt country, a land of sweeping plains,…
