Pastor Sherman Burkhead

If you are struggling right now and you need hope, this listen to this weeks message. Because in Romans 8:16-25 Paul reminds us of the glorious hope that has been guaranteed to those who trust in Christ. A hope that is so great that even the worst this life has to offer is nothing in comparison. Listen to Part 46 and be encouraged. https://youtu.be/zzfQL0owVO8

If God is all knowing, would he then adopt someone into his family only to un-adopt them later, knowing in advance that he was going to un-adopt them? The doctrine of adoption is proof that those who are in Christ are secure in the hands of God. Listen to this week's message.

John Owen once wrote "Be killing sin, or sin be killing you". It is true that Paul in Romans 8 said we are to put to death the deeds of the body. And it is also true that we are to take sin seriously and pursue holiness. But for those in Christ this is not a call to white-knuckled will power, this is no a call to walk in our own strength. Instead it is a call wield the sword of the spirit (the Wor...

Christmas Message 2022 by Sherman Burkhead

We all want guarantees but we find they are illusive in this life. It seems nothing is guaranteed. Well in Romans chapter we find what we are so desperately searching for; a guarantee. A guarantee, that we will not be forgotten, a guarantee that we will not be left and forsaken, a guarantee that we will not be put to shame. A guarantee that God will finish what he started in us. A guarantee that G...

Give Thanks Part 2 by Sherman Burkhead

Special Guest Huge Bates Isaiah 55 Part 2 by Sherman Burkhead

The Bible calls us to be continually thankful to God and for good reason. First of all we have a lot to be grateful for. Second our level of gratitude toward God is a direct reflection of our spiritual health. Our gratitude toward God reveals, where our heart is, what our devotional life is like, and how important the gospel is to us. Those who are closest to God are those who are the most thankfu...

All In Part 6 by Sherman Burkhead

There is a time and there is a time to take action. Now is the time for the church to rise up and take action getting busy furthering the mission of Christ. Listen to this week's message.

People don't care about how much you know until they know how much you care. This is the truth often overlooked. The truth is if we are going to fulfill the mission of Christ we need to both tell others about the good news of Jesus and show them the love he has given us. Listen to this week's message.

Jesus said that Christians are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. The thing that we tend to miss is Jesus isn't telling us to become something. He is making a declaration that we are something. In Christ we are the instrument that God is using to preserve the world around us. In Christ we are the light that shines in the darkness. The truth is those who are in Christ have been radic...

All In Part 1 by Sherman Burkhead

One of the greatest truths of the Christian faith is the doctrine of adoption. God took us as his enemies and made us part of his family. He reconciled us to himself in an intimate relationship. But the thing that is often overlooked is when God reconciled us to himself he also reconciled us to each other. As Joni Eareckson Tada once wrote "Believers are never told to become one; we already are on...

If we are saved by grace through faith in Christ apart from our works, and there is an expectation that those who are in Christ will live lives not dominated by sin, how do we not fall into the errors of apathy toward sin on the one hand and legalism on the other? The answer is, by the grace of God, surrender to God. Surrender all that you are into his hand. You mind, your heart, your body, all of...

Paul asked "How can we who died to sin still live in it?". In other words how can those who have been brought out of Adam and placed into Christ still live a life enslaved to sin? And the answer is simple; we can't. We may commit sin but our lives will not be enslaved to sin, and the reason for that is, because of our union with Christ , we have died to sin and we now are alive to God in Christ Je...
