One simple command, don't eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Practical, full of wisdom. We know Proverbs, but I’m sure you’ve never heard it quite like this. Jerry Eicher began his series on Proverbs hoping to be able to avoid any controversies. He thought it would be a safe book of the Bible; but little did he know what God would reveal through those simple verses. Mr. Eicher faithfully shares it with us in these series of sermons.

"In this enlightening episode, we delve into a unique perspective on the celebration of Mother's Day, exploring the concept of creation and what is termed as the "feminine voice." Our speaker discusses the critical roles of both the masculine and feminine voices in revealing and defending truth, emphasizing the importance of balancing these perspectives in our understanding of the divine.

The episode uncovers the two primary ways through which God reveals truth: the book of Scripture and the book of creation. Drawing from early church teachings and modern-day voices like Francis Schaeffer and Alistair McGrath, the discussion highlights how creation itself speaks in a feminine voice, offering wisdom and understanding through nature and the world around us.

The conversation takes an insightful turn, examining how our culture's disconnect from nature has led to a divide in perception and understanding, particularly between urban and rural environments. The speaker passionately argues for the necessity of exposing oneself to God's creation to acquire true wisdom, using Proverbs as a foundation for this belief.

Listeners are encouraged to reflect on how their lives align with these truths and to consider the practical implications of their beliefs. This episode is a call to live authentically, embracing both the masculine and feminine voices of God as integral to understanding and living out His will."

"Join us for a powerful sermon titled "Where the Dragons Lie," which revisits themes from a previous message, grounded in the timeless and eternal gospel. Drawing from Isaiah chapter 35, the sermon explores the metaphorical dragons that symbolize life's afflictions and challenges, such as blindness, addictions, and other forms of suffering.

Pastor delves deep into the scripture, offering a message of hope and renewal, emphasizing that God's promises will restore even the most desolate places in our lives. The sermon highlights the stories of figures like Fanny Crosby and John Bunyan, who overcame immense challenges and produced works that continue to inspire.

The narrative then shifts to the story of the Israelites in Exodus, who endured 400 years of slavery before God delivered them. The pastor discusses the importance of unwavering faith and trust in God's promises, even when circumstances worsen before they improve. The message concludes with an assurance of God's ultimate victory over all forms of suffering, promising a future where all afflictions are healed and all tears are wiped away.

Expect to be moved and inspired by this message of faith, resilience, and the transformative power of God's promises. This episode is a call to look beyond immediate struggles and trust in the eternal hope provided by God"
