In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 7:1-7, Pastor Jon English explains Paul’s logic for how couples should relate and remain faithful to their marital obligations.

We live in a sinful world, so death and loss, difficulties and storms are an inescapable fact of life. Thus, we are going to struggle with anxiety, worry, and fear and many points in our lives. The question we must ask ourselves is, “when we face those storms, will our faith be in the only true God who can still the storms or see us through those storms?” Preacher: Dr. Shawn Merithew Text: Luke 8:...

Following the parable of the seed and soils, we have Jesus using both a lamp and his own family as metaphors to teach the importance of listening to, identifying with, and obeying Him. In this text (Luke 8:16-21), we explore the significance of what it means for the believers to be the light of the world and the family of God.

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 6:12-20, Pastor Jon English Lee explains eight principles that Paul gives believers to aid them in their pursuit of holiness, especially holiness expressed in their bodies.

In this well-known parable of Jesus from Luke 8:1-15, we see there are four kinds of soil representing four kinds of hearts: The Hardened Heart, the Shallow Heart, the Strangled Heart, and the Believing Heart. In exploring these, we realize that only one represents a person who is truly saved. We see further that when a person is truly saved, they bring forth abundant fruit as evidence of their tr...

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Pastor Jon English Lee explains how we are born outside of God’s kingdom, but may enter into it by faith in the Christ who has washed, sanctified, and justified His bride through his work of salvation.

Text: 2 Peter 1:5-7 Peter encourages Christians that there are certain qualities that keep us from being ineffective and unfruitful. The qualities Pastor Jordan Nelson addresses in this sermon are virtue, knowledge, self control, and steadfastness.

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 6:1-8, Pastor Jon English Lee explains how believers can be tempted to sue and defraud one another when we forget who we are in Christ, and what our calling is as followers of Christ.

This sermon from Luke 7:36-50 explores one of the more touching stories from the ministry of Christ as we see the humility of a forgiven harlot contrasted with the arrogance of a self-righteous Pharisee. In considering both of their lives, we see that what ultimately distinguishes them from one another is faith in Christ and the powerful transformation His forgiveness brings about in the Christian...

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 5:6-13, pastor Jon English Lee explains how Paul uses the Old Testament picture of Passover to argue for believers to cleanse out the leaven of sin wherever they may find it.

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 5:1-5, pastor Jon English Lee explains how tolerated sexual sin will eventually lead to its celebration. Christians are instead to be pure and holy, just as God is holy.

John the Baptist had the privilege of being the herald of Christ, but after being locked away in prison, he struggled with doubt and sent his disciples to see if Christ was truly the Messiah. Jesus responded by giving evidence of His power and by pointing John to the assurance of Scripture. In the aftermath of that, Jesus reassures the crowd before Him of John's High Position as a Prophet, but He...

Scripture: Acts 4:1-13 After Peter heals the lame beggar, He preaches the gospel in front of the religious elite. The leaders of the day perceived that Peter was a common man, yet he had been with Jesus. How do people view us? Do they see that we have been with Jesus?

When Jesus came the first time, He came with the full power and authority of the godhead to undo the curse of sin wherever He went as a demonstration of His divinity and glory. As we consider here in Luke 7:1-17 the stories of the faithful Centurion and the Resurrection of the widow of Nain's son, we see how Christ's Authority Emboldens Our Faith, and how Christ's Compassion Evokes His Glory.&nbsp...

As we consider the whole of chapter 6, which is Luke's account of the sermon on the plain, we see that the standard of conduct and righteousness He sets before us here is truly beyond our ability. Yet Christ does not give us this revelation to further our hopelessness. He is the one preaching these truths, He is the one offering us life, and He Himself is the one way of salvation. Therefore, He co...

Jesus was a master of agricultural metaphors. His illustrations and parables were simple, yet powerful, and this is yet another that cuts right to the heart of the matter. We can profess to have faith and make ourselves outwardly appear very religious, but it is those who bear out the righteous fruit of faith who prove that they are true disciples of Christ. Even more, Christ teaches us that the m...

Scripture: Revelation 2:1-7 Jesus tells us to remember where we have fallen from; to repent and do the works we first did. We need to remember our Savior and our salvation constantly. When we grow cold toward the things of Christ we need to remember Christ. Preacher: Jordan Nelson

Text: Jonah 3-4 Preacher: Cody Floate After being "resurrected" out of the waters of death and the fish within those waters, the prophet Jonah finally goes to Nineveh, preaching what He was commanded to by God. Nineveh's repentance, however, sends Jonah into a tailspin that ends in him scolding the Lord for his mercy and compassion towards an undeserving people.

Text: 2 Peter 1:4 Who are partakers of the divine nature and what does it mean to be a partaker of the divine nature? Pastor Jordan explores a theme that flows throughout the Scriptures. This theme is our union with Christ.

Have you had someone who should have shown you anger or wrath and vengeance instead show you generosity, love, and grace? As we explore the passage of Luke 6:37-42, we will see how Grace should characterize the life of the disciple. Though the word grace is never used once in this text, it lies at the heart of all the different things that Jesus addresses in these six verses. So we will discuss gr...

In the ethics of modern worldliness, hating people is a virtue. But not for Jesus. Sin is what He hates, and He teaches us here that those who belong to Him practice a very counter-cultural ethic of love: a love that puts others first, a love that does not expect anything in return, and a love that even extends to those who are your mortal enemies. In short, we are to love in a way that demonstrat...

In this sermon from Romans 12:3-10, Pastor Jon English explains how the New Testament assumes that church members be Converted, Consecrated, and Connected.

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 4:8-21, Pastor Jon English explains how Paul uses Irony to expose the Corinthian believers’ blind spot, how his example is worthy of Imitation, and how he Instructs us toward humility and by his example.

Preacher: Cody Floate Text: Jonah 1-2 The book of Jonah is intended to be a revelation of our Lord Jesus, particularly as it pertains to his descent into death and his  resurrection on the third day. Jonah's being tossed into the sea and into the fish is his own dive into the depths of death, so to speak, and it is God alone who is able to bring him up again, through a resurrection unto new l...

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 4:6-7, Pastor Jon English Lee explains how Paul’s exhortations to the Corinthians give us a a principle to be learned, a pitfall to be avoided, and a posture to be maintained.
