One day the house is filled with joy and laughter and dirty clothes, and arguing and fighting. The next day it’s eerily silent. We can fill that silence with loud wailing and emotional breakdowns; and we might from time to time, at least in the...

There are 3 kinds of people in this world: Believers, Unbelievers, and Make-Believers. Which one are you? What does an honest assessment reveal? Are you trying to be someone you’re not?

In the kingdom of heaven, attitude affects altitude. To be raised up you must be brought low. To reach new heights you must stoop down. To get to higher ground you must descend. The way to exaltation is through an attitude of humility that sees others...

Children are not an achievement, but a blessing. But God didn’t just give parents a huge blessing. He gave instructions for how to care for that blessing as well. If our children came in a case or a box, on the outside of that package would be a stamp...

Even the most sincere Christian men and women face issues in their marriages. Some of those marriages fall apart. And, sadly, when they need the church the most is when they find little help. We can teach on the sanctity of marriage without treating...

We are a tradition-rich people; that’s nothing new and it’s not necessarily a bad thing. However, our traditions are completely worthless if they ignore the greater virtues.

Treasuring What We Cannot Lose--Your life follows your heart. So, “Where your treasure is, there YOU will be also.” You follow your treasure. You sacrifice for it. You cling to it. You fight for it. You can’t live without it. And Jesus says, “Quit...

As an adolescent transitioning into adulthood, there’s a certain question you get asked constantly. “So, what are you going to do?” It’s okay to not have everything figured out right now. Trust in God to guide you. Turn up the volume on your prayer...

Jesus had roots; that’s what Matthew shows us in the very beginning of his gospel. Jesus’ genealogy also shows us that the Messiah was born into this world to save the kind of people found in His own family tree.

Being together with our church family should be of utmost importance to us. The more we focus on making our gatherings a place where people feel encouraged, loved, and stirred to do good works, the more people will feel compelled to come.

“The Personal Indwelling of the Holy Spirit.” It’s a phrase we hear often, but do we even know what it means? Do we get what this implies? Do we know what a personal indwelling of the Holy Spirit entails? Maybe we should recalibrate our thinking...

Oldham Lane is actively involved in training young men to preach the gospel. Along with this training comes the opportunity to deliver a lesson during one of our worship services. In this particular recording, two of our Preacher Training Camp...

How we perceive God determines how we relate to God, and how we relate to God determines everything else in our lives.

Sovereignty means that GOD IS GOD! He sits on the throne of the Universe, directing all things, working all things “after the counsel of His will (Eph. 1:11).” All things—past, present, and future—are under His control. All things are either caused...

In this edition of Shepherd Talk, Chris sits down with one of our elders, Clay Peterson, to discuss the topic of vision. Watch as Chris and Clay speak about vision as it pertains to the individual Christian as well as the church.

Unless we see ourselves as deserving the same verdict that Pilate handed down to Jesus, unless we see ourselves as worthy of hell, we will never truly understand the cross.

God’s people should strive to keep it simple. Love God, love His word, love His people, and love the lost. Let us seek to be Christians; not a particular brand of Christian. Just Christians. That’s always enough.

Rather than treating prayer as a routine or a ritual, only involving our lips, let’s connect the heart and have the type of prayer life that is marked by fervency, fighting, striving, and agonizing. Let’s go beyond the surface and the lists and let’s...

Our Lord needs soldiers. Are you willing to don the armor of God and fight for your soul as well as the souls of others?
