In this message, Pastor Byron Chesney explores the significance of the...

I. Righteousness Apart From Works II. The Reward of Grace III. The Necessary Fruit

Psalm 147 begins by telling us simply, "it is good to sing praises to our God!" And it is good isn't it!? Singing songs of praise is so good in so many ways. But the psalmist goes on to declare, not merely how good it is for us to praise God, but how good God is and therefore we should praise him. From the stars to the snow he conducts the affairs of all creation. But as the creative and sustainin...

What does it look like to honor God when life is hard, relationships are strained, and circumstances are broken? In 1 Timothy 6:1–2, Paul teaches that the gospel shapes how we respond to difficult situations and relate to others. Our lives are about more than our circumstances, our interests, or our rights. As followers of Jesus, we must be concerned about the honor of God's name, the credibility...

This sermon continues a series on Genesis chapter one, focusing on the creation of humanity and the theological significance of being made in God's image. It examines the grammatical distinction between the singular noun 'God' and the plural pronoun 'us' in Genesis 1:26, suggesting a Trinitarian collaboration in creation. The central argument posits that the 'image and likeness' of God refers to t...

A wealthy young man comes to Jesus believing he's only missing one last piece to complete his spiritual collection. But Jesus exposes the truth: the "one thing" he lacks is actually everything. This sermon explores how our instinct to collect—whether possessions, achievements, or even moral accomplishments—reveals deeper beliefs and misplaced affections. Through Jesus' encounter with the rich youn...

The messag...

The Westminster Larger Catechism is an oft-neglected treasure house of clearly stated biblical doctrine. In this class, we are opening the doors of the treasure house to handle and steward truths old and new for the people of God. This session continues in our consideration of the moral law of God summarized in the Ten Commandments, beginning with the preface found in Exodus 20:1-2.

Jesus feeds five thousand, revealing Himself as Israel's promised Shepherd and the true King who gives life. Discover His compassion for weary servants, His care for wandering sheep, and His abundant provision that points beyond earthly bread to salvation through His death and resurrection. Mark 6:30–44.

Luke 18:9-14 contrasts the Pharisee and the tax collector to show that true justification comes not from religious performance but from humble repentance. The Pharisee boasts of his goodness and sees no need for mercy, while the tax collector, broken by guilt, pleads, "God, be merciful to me, a sinner." His prayer reflects faith in God's atoning grace, symbolized by the mercy seat and fulfilled in...

If you have God's Word…turn with me to Mark 10. If you'll remember… last week… we began discussing the account of a young man… who lost his soul! It was a story of a young man… who had so much going for him. But in the end…he lost it all! And as we took a look at this young man last week… we spent time looking at his desire. What was his desire? He had a desire for eternal life. And if you'll reme...

"What Does it Mean to Forgive?" – Mark 11:25 I. Defining forgiveness Forgiveness is releasing a sin debtor from his love obligation to you by not requiring an apology or repentance from him, by refraining from revenge against him, by praying for him and doing good to him who injured you, remembering that God has been very patient and kind to you, in spite of your countless sins against Him and oth...

Our regular 9:00 AM worship service

Why, when we are surrounded (North, South, East and West) by hostile forces why do WE have to become our own enemy. It's like an autoimmune disease; the Body attacks itself. We think of modern parallels as the Christian Church is fragmented - not only the Big Three Traditions (RCC, Protestant and EOC) but also the hundreds of little sects and splinter groups and differences even in our own congreg...
