This Sunday, we'll continue in the story of Gideon—and we will be talking about Gideon a bit differently than you may have heard in a Sunday School lesson. At least, it will be different than the way I remember hearing about Gideon when I was in Sunday School. Gideon is not a very heroic or inspiring figure, but Gideon's story can teach us a lot about what God does through our worship. It may help...

This sermon explores the nature of an evangelizing church by examining the early believers' response to the martyrdom of Stephen and the subsequent persecution in Jerusalem.

Loving one's neighbor is the true measure of loving God, as shown in the parable of the Good Samaritan. The priest and Levite failed in compassion, revealing empty religion, while the Samaritan—despised by Jews—demonstrated true neighbor-love through active, sacrificial care. The parable urges believers to reject passive sympathy, imitate God's own healing compassion, and "make yourself a neighbor...

In "An Example To Follow", Pastor Richard Caldwell preaches on finishing the Christian race well and leaving a faithful legacy.

In his final charge to Timothy, Paul evaluates his life not with vain boasting, but with a deep awareness of God's sustaining grace. This passage serves as a conscious passing of t...

The God who claimed you for Himself is working Christlikeness in you through His lowly ministers as they help you to serve God every day. - God gives you His lowly ministers to help you serve God with your body through faith-filled, carefree service (7:32–34). - God gives you His lowly ministers to help you serve God with your body through good, undistracted, and constant service (7:35).

In Mark 6, Jesus looks upon the multitude and has compassion on them, for they are like sheep without a shepherd. In Ezekiel 34, God promised to personally shepherd His scattered and neglected people. Christ came to fulfill this role. He is the Good Shepherd. His compassion for the people is expressed first and foremost through teaching, for God's word is the most essential provision for human lif...

It argues that this goodness is displayed in three primary ways: God's glory, which establishes His self-sufficient and unchanging nature; His holiness, which demands justice and preserves paradise from corruption; and His grace, which is the crowning aspect of His character. The...

Ephesians 2:8-10 is expounded as Paul's definitive statement on the nature of saving grace: that salvation is entirely the gift of God, received through faith, excluding all human boasting, and issuing in a life of good works prepared by God beforehand.

This sermon explores the third use of the law in the Christian life, defined as the rule of gratitude. It contrasts the natural state of unthankfulness described in Romans 1 with the renewed life of thankfulness commanded in Colossians 3. The central argument is that salvation is not merely about being saved from sin but about being saved for service, where believers present their bodies as living...

Fear not; we're in good hands. - In whose hands? The glorified Christ as Priest, King, and Prophet. - What are we afraid of? Suffering. We are cowardly; we misvalue suffering; we are content with deadness and mediocrity. - How do we fear not? We must fear Him most! 1. Be conformed to His image. 2. Be comforted in your afflictions. 3. Be courageous in your callings.

In this evening message from Acts 12:1-17, Pastor Rockhill considers the dramatic deliverance of Peter from Herod's prison and the fervent prayer of the church that surrounded it. He sets the scene against a shifting tide of persecution, as the Roman authorities, in the person of Herod Agrippa I, take up the sword against Christ's people, martyring James and seizing Peter during the Feast of Unlea...
