Recently, Kristopher and I sat down for a discussion about how the LORD saved him. As a result of his drug abuse and pain medication, he was incarcerated, but the LORD saved him. However, his testimony didn’t end there. After leaving jail and joining a church, he fell back into living in sin as a believer and was disciplined out of his church. Yet the LORD was faithful to discipline him while he w...

But what did this God who is love delight to love before he made you and I? Before he made the earth, before he made anything. And you say, “Well, he loved himself.” Yes, but it's a little bit more complex than that.... [Excerpt from the full sermon: God Is Love - Michael Durham]

Tolerance can be a vice, not just a virtue. One of the greatest mistakes make in the name of "grace" is tolerating sin in the midst of their church. Excerpt from the full sermon: Watch Out for Those Who Cause Divisions

Ryan Fullerton preached this message on December 13, 2020. It is a balanced message that deals with a topic that is often avoided. Romans 16:17 - I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. 0:00 - Introduction and Opening Prayer 1:26 - Reading text - Romans 16.17 2:51 - A dragon stands be...

Why did our Lord hide Himself from these Greeks? And does He yet hide Himself from some who seek to “see” Him?

As Christians, there are many so-called "respectable sins" that we battle against, one of which is self-pity. In this video, we will consider what self-pity is at its root--what indicators to look for that we are having self-pity--and how to overcome through Christ and truly believing that God cares for us. 0:00 - When was the last time you hosted a pity party? 0:26 - Luke Chapter 10 and Martha's...

Is there any connection between sexual sin and wasted time? Does the believer go from boredom to temptation? From wasting time to wrecking morally? In this video we consider 2 Samuel 11 and what led to David's fall into adultery. Maybe you say to yourself, "I struggle with lust..." but the truth be told you should be saying, "I struggle with pride and wasting my time... and that leads to falls int...

Christian, we are all being sustained by the providential preserving power of God—we owe it all to our LORD. Psalm 124 1 A Song of Ascents. Of David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side– let Israel now say– 2 if it had not been the LORD who was on our side when people rose up against us, 3 then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; 4 then the f...

If you are a Christian you love Jesus for who He is—gloriously worthy of all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, all your strength—because that is exactly how the Father loves the Son. - Michael Durham Full Sermon: God Is Love

We ought to practice spiritual disciplines by faith regardless of how we subjectively feel. Q: In the process of adopting these spiritual disciplines and be alone with the LORD, what if I fall into some discouragement or legalistic bondage? What if I don't feel like anything is happening and that the LORD is with me?

John Greene | 2023 Fellowship Conference - Morning Prayer Meeting | Revelation 8:3 - And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne... Are you aware of the power and impact of prayer on human history? As Spurgeon said, "it is not ONLY a prayer meeting." It is to pray...

Nathan Rages | 2023 Fellowship Conference | Prayer Meeting | There are pressing needs that you and I have prayed about, and we have asked the LORD, "How long, O LORD?" But deliverance has yet to come, and we feel as David does. The temptation to give up is strong during that time. It can be easy to forget how many prayers the LORD has answered in the past when we are under pressure.

Don't make the mistake of the Pharisee. They had a perverted view of the sufficiency of Scripture. And such a view will leave you dead in your sins. Listen to what Jesus says to them in John 5...

Mark LaCour | 2023 Fellowship Conference - Session #5 - In Matthew 22 Jesus compares his kingdom to that of a king who gave a wedding feast for his son and invited people to this feast. Have you responded to his invitation? Has it been lost in the mail? Is the clothing you are wearing appropriate? This sermon was preached at the 2023 Fellowship Conference by pastor Mark LaCour (https:// www.graceb...

Michael Durham | 2023 Fellowship Conference | Session 4 | What was the power of Christ's look to Peter after he had denied the LORD? And are you and I looking to the LORD to see His look to us? Are we resting in and trusting the unconditional love of God for us as believers?

Nathan Rages | What is some advice you can give to me when fighting besetting sin? What are some specific verses that you find encouragement from? What about when I feel like the temptation is just too difficult? This clip was taken from the question and answer time at the 2022 Fellowship Conference that was held back in April.

How did King David begin his day? If so we can peer in and see how he often did then could we not glean something about how to imitate this man of God? Psalm 5:1 To the choirmaster: for the flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning. 2 Give attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you do I pray. 3 O LORD, in the morning you hear my voice; in th...

This exhortation is from the 2022 Fellowship Conference, which Nathan Rages shared prior to a morning prayer meeting that was had there. As believers, we require the Holy Spirit's help when we pray. Do you rely upon the Spirit when you pray? Do you follow the promptings of the Spirit to pray and how the Spirit burdens you during your time of prayer? Without the Holy Spirit's help, our prayers can...

With every abortion, there’s a mother involved. There’s a woman bearing that child. That’s what I want to talk about here – the woman who has had an abortion. Abortion is not an unforgivable sin. Jesus Christ paid the penalty on that cross for all types of sins and yes, even abortion.

Question: How should I share the gospel with an atheist? So I was saved about two years ago from, well, atheism, and I have a pretty atheistic family. And so I’ve been trying to share the gospel with them. Ever since I was saved. And just finally, recently, I’m engaged in a conversation with my sister, and she’s wanting to get into a discussion about evidence and I’m just curious if you guys can t...

Tim, Michael, Lee | 6:18 | FC2022 Q&A - How can we cultivate a more real sense of God's presence? How can we stir ourselves to be more spiritually minded of the reality when we always see what is temporal around us?
