In this unique episode, Pastor Dave starts his sermon with a skit in which he enters the sanctuary wearing a 150-200 lb heavy equipment chain, voicing his woes about the bondage he is in. Use your imagination to picture the scene!

This Father's Day sermon sets out to do two things: challenge men in the church to become spiritual fathers, and encourage those who never had one.

Most sermons from the book of Ruth focus on Ruth and Boaz, but today Faith highlights Naomi, a mother who endured great tragic loss. This is a message of encouragement for anyone, not just mothers.

If last week's lesson (Adam and Eve's fig leaves) was about the fallacy of self-love, this week's lesson is about the failure of self-effort. In Genesis 4 we look at Cain and Abel, and two very different ways of approaching our relationship with God, which is reflected in our relationships with each other.

The idea that self-love is the cure for the human condition is popular, but it is actually a farce? How well is it really working for us, and if not, why? And what do the fig leaves of Eden have to do with this lie that has permeated society and even the church?

This is first teaching in a long-term series in which we'll simply go through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, highlighting themes and connecting each lesson to Jesus. The purpose of these teachings are to show that the whole of the Bible contains one important message: Jesus is the Redeemer of all things. He came to redeem mankind, each of us as individuals, and planet earth. This first...

Everybody wants to make a "grand entrance" in life to some extent-- that is, to make their mark on the world, get noticed, have their purpose recognized, make a difference for the common good. Jesus made His own "grand entrance" on the first Palm Sunday, and how He did it is so contrary to human nature, but it's the best and only way to true success.

Too many Christians are "Forgiven and Miserable," that is, they have received salvation from sin, but are not living in the state of "soul rest" the Lord wants for us. Like the Israelites who were disqualified from entering the Promised Land (place of rest), they are miserable due to a refusal to surrender everything to God and rest in His ability to work on our behalf.

Guest speaker Gerald Russell shares how that since God's creative process is ongoing, He is always doing something new, and we can choose to be a part of that with Him.

Twenty-one year-old Micah suffered emotional abuse growing up, which resulted in depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and attempted suicide. He shares how God transformed his life and is redeeming it.

It takes an open mind to investigate the historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and it takes and open heart to believe and embrace it, and apply that truth to our lives in transformative ways.

After Elisha spoke the truth to his servant, he recognized the need to prayer a very important prayer for him. How should we pray after we've done our part to speak the truth to someone? What prayer should we pray for ourselves when belief for the impossible is difficult?

Part 2 of "Seven Roadblocks to Answered Prayer." Which of these could be a reason you may not be seeing an answer to prayer?

Why would a military leader need a female judge to accompany him to battle? Find out why in this story from Judges 4. 

Ever wonder why your prayer didn't get answered? There are at least 7 possible reasons why; today we look at the first two in Part 1 of this sermon series.

The book of Philemon contains a story about a runaway slave that poignantly illustrates just how God sees us, and the way He loves us.

The story of Uzzah in the Bible is troubling and embarrassing until we fully understand it; it serves to define "true worship."

What does God have to say about the use of the gifts and abilities He's given us?

In the parable of the Ten Virgins, Faith explains the sobering significance of trimming a lamp with no oil. 

Christianity offers us two choices, and they aren't merely between "good" and "evil."

In this "talk," Faith explains God's full intent behind Communion, and shares a deeply personal story of reconciliation with a loved one.

Jesus healed ten lepers, and only one thanked Him. Are we much different from the other nine?

We live in a world of imbalance in which people tend to say "no" too often, or else "yes" too much. We look at someone in scripture who knew when to say "yes," and when to say "no." 

When the world is falling apart, everyone wants to know what to do. But is that the most important question?

Similar to a message from last year, we take yet another look at Israel's first two kings, and what we can learn from them.
