There is great excitement in becoming a Christian and knowing that salvation is secured through the power of Jesus Christ. Still, the pressures of life, temptation, and plain old apathy can sometimes cause those once faithful to allow their excitement to wane. God does not want this, and He provides many ways to keep this flame burning. This sermon will examine the encouragement given to early Christians who read the letter of Hebrews. It will focus on how the writer encouraged their faithfulness and how we, in turn, can also be encouraged to stay the course.

A true understanding of sin's consequences will create excitement about God’s plan of salvation. Understanding what God offers will be pursued with zeal to enter into eternal union with Him. A point brought out clearly in the books of Ephesians and Titus is this zeal will be seen in good works by those who love the Lord and receive His gracious salvation. This is what God has always wanted. This sermon will explore the importance of good works and how this illustrates a return to the grand purpose God has wanted for his human creation from the beginning.

Those in specialized military training fully understand the power of motivation. Often, these men and women must endure what many would consider brutal training to achieve the desired success or promotion. Always keeping eyes fixed on the end goal motivates one to continue the training. Christian soldiers can learn much from this! This sermon will make these comparisons and explain how the people of God can keep their motivation strong until reaching the desired outcome of eternal union with God.

Often, the short account of Nadab & Abihu is lifted from its context, and in doing so, important learning from this text is missed. This study will focus not only on the sins of these two men but also on the actions of their father and brothers.

While pain is a part of every life, it is rarely, if ever, easy to bear. Many people struggle with emotions toward self, others, and God in the face of these difficulties. In this, we are not alone; humans of all generations have faced these crises. In His great wisdom, God preserved a psalm of David to help us in times of need. This study will explore how David dealt with the dilemma he faced and how we can learn from the lessons he recorded for us.

The word hope makes its first appearance in the New Testament via an Old Testament quote used by Matthew. In the midst of accounts illustrating the Pharisee’s rejection of Jesus, Matthew boldly claims that Jesus is the Servant of the Lord about whom Isaiah prophesied many years earlier and that it is this Servant who is the salvation of all the world. This study will focus on Matthew’s use of this Old Testament quote to show Jesus as our hope and the impact this hope must have on those who follow.

Member speaker Anthony Dempsey presents a sermon on living for eternity.

A sermon given on Feburary 16, 2025.

Does Christianity call on us to believe the unbelievable? If yes, God has commanded us to do the impossible. Does Christianity call on us to believe the unexpected? The answer to this question is a resounding yes! Salvation for people who want out of the pit of sin is a gracious and merciful gift from our Lord. The Bible explains this in many ways and through many people; however, one of the most unusual views of God’s saving power is seen in a prostitute living in ancient times. In this study, we will see much commonality between the attitude of faith she exhibited and what is seen in those who serve Christ today.
