We should be ready to defend both the authenticity and Author of the Bible.

Our world is full of conflict and a lack of forgiveness, and our relationships with God and others suffer because of it. In the midst of this environment, Christians are commanded to both experience and extend God's gift of forgiveness.

The author of Hebrews makes it plain that Jesus is greater than the angels because He is God in the flesh. As a result, we can trust Him with our lives and our futures.

Speaker: Trey Corry Scripture: Mark 6:30-52

As Abraham's failures demonstrate, the life of faith is counterintuitive. The more you rely upon your own strength, intellect, and resources, the more likely you are to slip and fall in the trials of life. The only way to stay standing in difficult times is to cling to God in faith, patiently trusting Him to provide and protect. For additional sermons in this series, click here .

The gracious gift of salvation given to us in Jesus Christ provides us with motivation to praise God even in the midst of trials.

Speaker: Trey Corry Scripture: 1 Peter 1:13

God does not call the qualified; He qualifies the called. Abraham was not worthy of God's favor, and yet God chose him to become an example of faith and the source of salvation for all humanity. For additional sermons in this series, click here .

Doing the right thing for the wrong reason is still wrong. Whether it's building cities and towers, like at Babel, or getting a degree, closing a sale, or saving for retirement, all of these good things become idols when we look to them for our significance and security. Praise God, we do not need to earn significance or build security, for they are an absolutely free gift for all who turn to Chri...

Dr. Mitch Glaser, Chosen People Ministries Paul's heart was for the salvation of his people, the Jews. He hoped and prayed for repentance. In our lives, no one is beyond the reach of God. We can live in hope that He has the power to save anyone and everyone.

Speaker: Trey Corry Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:13-20

People assume that Genesis 6-9 is all about a flood, an ark, a guy named Noah, and a bunch of animals marching two-by-two. No. It's really about a God who cares deeply about humanity, who waits patiently for mankind to repent, who, when He must judge, always judges fairly, and who always prefers to give grace to sinners like us.

Speaker: Trey Corry Scripture: Luke 20:19-26

Murder, adultery, theft, drug abuse... we'd like to believe that we are above such evil. Yet Cain's story demonstrates that there is no limit to the evil we can commit if we do not halt the invasion of sin in our lives. From his failure we learn how to stop sin before it grows out of control. Victory is possible, not because we are any better than Cain, but because God's grace is more powerful tha...

Temptation promises pleasure but delivers pain - always. When Adam took the bait, he plunged all of creation into the destructive consequences of sin: guilt, shame, fear, strife, and death. He also left a legacy of sin that affects every one of us. But thanks be to our Creator who is bringing an end to the curse of sin! For additional sermons in this series, click here .

Serious failures rarely happen in an instant. We fall into sin gradually as we allow temptation to capture our hearts and minds. But if we can learn to recognize that progression of temptation in our lives, then we can stop sin in its tracks. That's what we'll learn to do as we look at Adam and Eve's descent into sin.

Speaker: Trey Corry Scripture: Exodus 31:1-11

The Arts reflect a divine commission of human creativity. While the Arts can lead to idolatry, they are intended to provide a platform to communicate about God, man, and our world. As a result, the Arts should be enjoyed in all their diversity but with a careful filter. For additional sermons in this series, click here .

You are valuable, but not because of who you know, or how you look or what you own. You are valuable because God carefully formed you in His image. You were specially designed to live in relationship with God and others, to reflect the glory of God in body and character, and to rule on this earth as God's kingdom representative.

How has sin distorted culture? How does God respond to culture's corruption? How ought we to respond to culture now?

Speaker: Trey Corry Scripture: Genesis 1

Have you ever struggled with doubt? Have you doubted God's existence or the truth of the gospel? Or have you doubted something the Bible says about God, that He loves you, forgives you, hears you? If so, you are not alone. All believers struggle from time to time with doubt, even such mature saints as Moses, Elijah, and in Luke 7, John the Baptist. From John's example we learn that doubt is not ne...
