God, in His great mercy, saves sinners. He gives us new birth through His living Word. But He does not leave us isolated. Instead, He brings us into His royal family. There as brothers and sisters in the household of God, the local church, as living stones we are being built together into a spiritual house. A people among whom God delights to dwell. Adopted into His royal family, we are called to...

The sermon examines 1 Samuel 13 to illustrate how Saul's self-willed assumption of priestly authority led to his divine rejection and a life characterized by perpetual conflict. By contrasting Saul's lack of peace with the promise in Proverbs 16:7 that those who please the Lord find peace even with enemies, the message highlights the spiritual danger of acting outside of God's appointed order. The...

What if the greatest threat to a spiritual awakening isn't secular hostility, but a manufactured fake? Between 1792 and 1838, America witnessed a dramatic tug-of-war for the soul of revival—shifting from the quiet, sovereign, and deeply doctrinal outpourings in New England towns like Somers and Canton to the high-pressure, emotionally charged "New Measures" of the western frontier and Charles Finn...

If our adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion seeing who he may devour we had better be on guard and know what to expect and how to be protected.

Loving God and loving the world are incompatible because the world's values and ways are contrary to God. Salvation brings a real change in a person's life, separating them from their former way of living and turning their affections toward God, His Word, and His people. The love of the world can keep people from fully yielding to Christ and can draw professing believers away from God's work and t...

Scripture: Philippians 2:5–11 Sermon: "Make Christ Your Role Model" Speaker: Pastor Denis Gerasimov Date: October 4, 2026

What does a worthy walk look like? What does a life that pleases the Lord look like? In this exposition of Ephesians 4:2-3 pastor Jamie outlines five characteristics of a worthy walk.

We discuss the various implications of Paul's phrase, "a spirit of adoption as sons," which causes believers to speak to God using "Abba Father." This is contrasted with a spirit of slavery. Slavery to sin describes how everyone is born "in Adam." The implications involve the fact that no one comes into the world as "in Christ" by natural generation. Thus, all are in sin and are slaves to sin unti...

After Paul proclaims Justification by Faith Alone in Christ Alone and its guarantee unto glorification in Romans 1-5, he parenthetically deals with the questions of Sanctification that will likely be asked. "If I am justified by Christ's works alone by grace that is greater than my sin, why do I care about sin at all now?" "If Christ has fulfilled the Law of God in my place, why do I care about th...

"Don't pressure the weak to imitate your standards – persuade them to interpret your Scriptures." The local church is absolutely essential to your sanctification. Satan has two effective methods for destroying the work of God: 1. Legalism & 2. Liberties.
