For the second week of our Spring Series we welcomed guest preacher, David Maxson.

A trajectory is important whether one is throwing a baseball or launching a rocket. Simply put, we want the object to reach its intended location. Such a thought is helpful when deciding what worldview is going to be taken in life since this is what will determine the direction one goes. In this final lesson of our series on a biblical worldview, we will focus on what life looks like when it is li...

For the first week of our Spring Series we welcomed guest preacher, Jonathan Carswell.

What does the word modesty bring to mind? For most, it is not a positive connotation; it might recall memories of the “don’t wear this” classes for girls, or, in other circles, it might bespeak of not quite achieving and having only a modest income. Despite what some may think, modesty is not only an important biblical concept but also essential in developing a worldview that focuses on the cross...

Staying true to the course is essential to arriving at the desired destination. A wrong turn, veering left when one should have veered right, or choosing the wrong highway will likely mean never arriving at the intended place. A biblical worldview should be considered in these terms. It is easy to get on the wrong road, even when believing it is correct if the Bible is not a constant companion. Th...

How does a person decide what is right? The answer to this question will determine how one thinks, acts, behaves, and lives. With so much riding on this answer, it is keenly important that the correct standard is used on which so much rests. This study will explore what is meant by this term, along with what it means to accept the Bible as the standard. This study will explore the strengths of thi...

The love of God for humanity is a wonderful and amazing theme that spans the entirety of the Bible. Reading of the Father and Son working in perfect harmony to accomplish a way of salvation should bring overwhelming gratitude to those who seek fellowship with them. What, though, about the Holy Spirit? Does the Spirit love humanity as deeply as Father and Son? This study will demonstrate that just...

Greg Chandler presents a concise overview of the entire Bible, from beginning to end. This is a recording from our Community Bible Study on March 5, 2023.

What exactly does the love of Jesus look like? On three different occasions within the Gospel accounts, the writers speak of some individuals Jesus loved. Surprisingly, this love called on them to both believe and do things that were seemingly unbelievable. Still, if they accepted His love and did the unbelievable, spiritual maturity and preparation for eternity resulted. This sermon entitled will...

“Accept Jesus as your personal Savior” is a phrase so commonly used, one might imagine it is found multiple times throughout the New Testament. However, a reader will never find this recorded in the Bible. When it comes to matters of salvation, it is important to understand what the Scriptures teach and follow the pattern just as the Lord has instructed. This study will focus on the accuracy of th...

Is Jesus God? While it might be unsurprising that a majority of the American public would answer no to this question, it is quite surprising that a growing number of those who profess Christ would also answer no. Such a change in attitude has wide-ranging ramifications and poses a challenge to the very core of Christianity. This study will examine how the inspired texts deal with Jesus and what ca...

This study will explore the meaning and biblical usage of the word disciple, ultimately relating it to Jesus’ statement, “If you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples.” A sermon given by Greg Chandler on February 5, 2023.

In a growing number of religious settings, there is not much stomach for discussions on the wrath of God. Fearing this as a “turn-off” for those who are seeking salvation or who are new in the faith, the subject is ignored and replaced with an emphasis on His love. This, however, is problematic since the Bible is replete with discussions on God’s wrath, with even Jesus Christ spending much time in...

 Few passages in the Bible have been as influential as Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount . In fact, even those with little Bible training have enough familiarity with the teaching to quote phrases such as, “Judge not that ye be not judged” (Matthew 7:1). However, for those serious about spiritual things, the impact of this sermon is beyond description. Some have entitled it the “constitution of the kingd...

Studies continue to bear out the need for fathers in the lives of children. A good father can have a monumental impact on the success of his children for years to come. However, even as wonderful as an earthly father can be, none can rival the goodness of the Father in Heaven. From both testaments of the Bible, key insight is given into the love He has for His children and the great desire He has...

When history records the story of the “great” monarchs of the past, rarely are these men and women described in humble terms. Typically, their notoriety springs from a military victory, the capture of plunder, or intense cruelty. Through His servant Malachi, God stated, “I am a great King!” While the pages preceding Malachi’s prophecies bear out this claim, the pages that follow demonstrate a King...

As the 118th Congress is seated this week, it is a reminder of the strong republican (small r) values that allow the governed to choose those who will govern. This, however, is somewhat of an anomaly in world history; for most of the world’s existence, many nations have been led by monarchs. It is within this monarchical framework that God chooses to describe Himself. Though the terminology might...

Investors must be very careful! There are many who have been led to believe they have the opportunity to buy a rare work of art or a pure gold coin or a first-edition book only to learn they have been conned. The claim “genuine” must be backed up with proof that it is, indeed, not a knock-off imitation. As Paul wrote to the Romans, he admonished them with the statement, “Let love be genuine” (I Co...
