Series: Communion Meditations Service: Sun AM Worship Type: Sermon Speaker: Dan Lankford 1 Cor. 11 has a section that gets read often in reflections of the Lord's supper, but we often only read the part where Paul rehearses the supper's origins, missing the more direct point that he's making to the original audience. Namely, that their divisions meant they were preaching a fa...

Series: Sovereign [Authority] Service: Sun AM Worship Type: Sermon Speaker: Dan Lankford If God is the sovereign authority of the universe, and if he has spoken through the Bible, then we must listen to the Bible and respect its authority. This message adds a few more reasons for why we should live our lives under the authority of the Bible.

Series: Communion Meditations Service: Sun AM Worship Type: Sermon Speaker: Dan Lankford The Lord's Supper both demonstrates and reinforces the unity that God intends for his people to enjoy.

Series: Communion Meditations Service: Sun AM Worship Type: Sermon Speaker: Dan Lankford Mercy and grace differ from each other, at least by a matter of degrees. All mercy is grace, but not all grace is mercy. But both are seen in abundance when we look at the Gospel plan as realized in the cross and in the empty tomb.

Series: Sovereign [Authority] Service: Sun AM Worship Type: Sermon Speaker: Dan Lankford Who is in charge of Christianity and Christians? And how do we know what that being wants from us?

Series: N/A Service: Sun AM Worship Type: Sermon Speaker: Dan Lankford God's people are called to be honest in all of our dealings — the big stuff and the small stuff. We are supposed to be people who keep our commitments; who do what we say we will do.

Series: Communion Meditations Service: Sun AM Worship Type: Sermon Speaker: Dan Lankford The verbs that Jesus used in the Upper Room remenisce of the fall of mankind back in the Garden of Eden.

Series: I CAN DO ALL THINGS (2022 THEME) Service: Sun AM Worship Type: Sermon Speaker: Dan Lankford Generosity is a defining hallmark of God's people throughout our history, all the way back to the first century, when The Apostle Paul organized an effort for Christians from all over the Mediterrenean to give generously to their brothers in Judea to buy them food in a time of famine. In this me...

Series: Communion Meditations Service: Sun AM Worship Type: Sermon Speaker: Dan Lankford Isaac Watts' hymn, "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross," is beloved by English-speaking Christians everywhere.

Series: N/A Service: Sun AM Worship Type: Sermon Speaker: Dan Lankford In the book of Proverbs, there are over twenty times when instructions are addressed to someone whom the writer calls "My son." With that being so prevelant throughout the book, we can expect that it would be a book with plenty of parenting advice. In this lesson, we look at 4 pieces of parenting guidance and some...

Series: Communion Meditations Service: Sun AM Worship Type: Sermon Speaker: Dan Lankford In John 17:1-5, Jesus begins offering a long prayer to God on the night of his betrayal and crucifixion.

Series: N/A Service: Sun AM Worship Type: Sermon Speaker: Dan Lankford In Nehemiah 8, the people of Israel gathered as one man into a public square, and Ezra the scribe read the book of the Law to them.
