Wherever Paul went, he preached the gospel because it’s important. His life would be in jeopardy, but he kept on going because it’s important. People tried to cause doubt and confusion about his ministry, but he kept preaching because it’s important. People tried to kill him to get him to shut up because the message he was spreading - it was important. The people who believed the gospel because of Paul were thrown to lions for the entertainment of others, but they stayed faithful to Jesus because it’s important. You are here today to listen to this message because, the gospel of Jesus and His resurrection - it’s important! Click below to listen.

8/25/2024

There are many witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus; the disciples and women saw Him alive. In fact, five hundred people saw him alive after He died from his crucifixion. Yet, we often act as if He is not risen. Our lives don't reflect His new life. Do we take His resurrection for granted? Is our faith in vain? What would life be like if He had not been raised from the dead? Find out in today's important sermon.

08.04.2024 - A More Excellent Way

8/4/2024

The world's love is temporary and fleeting; it protects its own as long as it stays its own. The world's love is temporary, sometimes cruel, envious, prideful, and sometimes can get very angry. But, there is a more excellent way; there is a more excellent Love; there is a more excellent Savior!

07.28.2024 - No Body Shaming Allowed

7/28/2024

All born again believers are part of the body of Christ; their sins are forgiven, they are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, and each member of the body has been given a gift by God. We must be diligent not to "body shame" other members because when we do that, we persecute the Lord. Rather, let us encourage one other to good works, rejoicing in their victories as our own, and weeping with one another when someone else is hurt. This is Christ's love on the earth ... welcome to, the church!

07.14.2024 - The Lord's Supper is Not a Potluck (transcribed)

7/14/2024

The Lord's Supper was instituted during the final Passover that Jesus participated in with His disciples. The early church in Corinth, however, had forgotten the point of the Lord's table. They came together for a regular meal, bringing food only for themselves and not for the poor, and causing 'class' division between the rich and the poor. How should the Lord's supper really be practiced in New Testament churches? And how can we partake it "worthily"? Click below to find out more!

07.07.2024 - Train Mentality?

7/7/2024

Do you have a "train-mentality" when it comes to Christianity? Have you become so used to the large train that comes by your house that you are hardly bothered by its looming sound or earth-shattering tremble? Have you become so used to hearing about seeing revival, fearing God, praying for lost souls, or seeing Jesus' love move today in our land that, in actuality, you don't really care about these things anymore? This message was preached by missionary to Switzerland, Bro. Christopher Deaton. [transcription available]

06.30.2024 - What About Traditions?

7/1/2024

In God's churches, there are both bad traditions and good traditions. Sometimes we can take good traditions or traditions that are 'non essential', and make them mandatory for all believers. Or, sometimes we can take cultural traditions (head coverings for women, for instance) from the Bible and try to import them unnecessarily into the modern age. Ultimately, no matter what our stance is on traditions - we must never forget to always stand for truth which never changes!
