Wednesday Night Bible Study: “Spiritual Armor” Ephesians 6:10-20 (Multiple parts) An excerpt from Pastor Chris Hall’s notes: Having put on the breastplate of God’s truth, righteousness, and faithfulness doesn’t mean we no longer associate with the sinner. We are still, in fact, sinners who must befriend sinners. I know of self-righteous Christians who say that…
Sunday Morning Sermon Series: “The Light of the World” John 8:12-20 One cannot live without making judgments but we must strive not to be judgmental (condemnatory). We are people of the light though we must walk in a dark world; thus we must use discernment and judge righteously. We need to be ‘street smart’ Christians…
Sunday Morning Sermon Series: “Guilty Accusers” John 7:53-8:11 This jewel of a passage has mystery and debate about where and whether or not it should be in our Bibles.

Sunday Morning Sermon Series: “Public Apocalypse” John 7:37-52 It is difficult to be patient while waiting for truth to be revealed.

Sunday Morning Sermon Series: “Harsh Words?” John 6:60-71 Jesus’ words were ‘hard’ and seemingly offensive and divisive. Well, they may have been difficult to take but not so difficult to get. They may also be divisive because truth has a way of dividing right and wrong, good and evil. However, His words were not offensive;…
Sunday Morning Sermon Series: “Through Slaughter To Splendor” John 6:51-59 (2 part Sermon) Part 1: All orthodox believers partake of Jesus. All who know Him abide in Him and thus He in us.

Sunday Morning Sermon Series: “Prophetic Praise and Passion” Luke 2:29-35 Most of us like to be prepared.

Sunday Morning Sermon Series: “Heavenly Hosts’ Herald” Luke 2:8-14 We have considered Mary’s and Zechariah’s Christmas songs which emphasize Jesus’ character and mission.
