The Rich Man and Lazarus is perhaps one of the most challenging and misunderstood parables in the Bible.  In this sermon, we dive deeply into this parable, examining several Greek words we must understand, and exploring rich symbolism that the Jewish audience would have understood, as we filter all that we read through the clear teachings of the Bible.

In this sermon, we explore this topic from a bit of a different angle.  Marks, aligning a person with or against God, is a Biblical concept that runs through the Bible from beginning to end.  In light of that history, how should we as Christians think about the Mark of the Beast and how it impacts our choices?

Early in the ministry of Jesus Christ, Jesus spoke two similar parables that are misunderstood or ignored by much of traditional Christianity. These parables are referred to as “The Parable of New Cloth on an Old Garment” and “The Parable of New Wine in Old Wineskins”. The lessons Jesus intended to convey through these parables are extremely important --- because they explain the heart-and-core of what Jesus expects of anyone who is or who wants to become His disciple. This sermon explains the true intent of these parables, and contrasts that with the main false interpretation that is commonly taught by traditional Christianity.

What do you find disgusting and repulsive?  What does the Bible say that God finds disgusting and repulsive?  In this sermon, we dive into one Hebrew word that is commonly translated “Abomination” to see how God feels about certain things.

This message explores a question that has persisted across time: Whose side is God really on? It explores the human tendency to seek God's support for our goals, whether personal or collective, and reflects on how this is portrayed in both biblical texts and Ancient Near Eastern contexts. By examining three examples—the Israelites bringing the Ark into battle, their request for a king, and Joshua's meeting with the Commander of the Lord’s army—the message encourages thoughtful reflection on what God’s view truly is.

After sin, we see the ground is made much more difficult to work with for Adam, we see serpents are changed to go on their belly, and we understand that each of those went from a state of very good, to worse. What about the curse on Eve and women in general? What changed, and how has mankind struggled with roles and marriage since? But what did God originally intend that was very good? As Christians, redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, how can we strive for that original design and shine as a light to the world?

The foundation of conversion is rooted in the Passover and Unleavened Bread; the application of our Christian journey begins with Pentecost.

God and Jesus Christ are Master Builders. Throughout the Bible, we see them designing. Jesus is said to be a craftsman. Both He and we are called living stones. What is the process by which a stone is transformed into a piece of a temple? What does it mean for us to be part of this collective?

In this sermon, we dive into a brief History of the Kingdom, Republic, and Empire of Rome. We look at the rise of a couple prominent figures, and the “gospel” that existed at the time God determined for Jesus Christ to be born. We then compare and contrast the gospel of Augustus with the Gospel of the Kingdom of God! We end by looking at our world today to ask questions about which Gospel are we truly about!

There are many false ideas and confusion around the Antichrist. What does the Bible actually say about this important topic? You might be surprised! How does this impact our lives as Christians?

Jesus Christ gave a major caution to His disciples, and down through the ages to us, to beware (be cautious) of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees. Just what is that leaven? How might we be affected? And how may we avoid its impact?

Generational slavery still occurs today in our modern world. In this sermon, we take a look at the impact hereditary slavery has on people, and then we explore how this topic applies not only to the nation of ancient Israel but also for us as Christians today.

This is a sermon where we dive into the deep meaning of the Night to be Much Remembered/Night to be Much Observed. There is so much meaning to this night that we, as Christians, want to understand clearly as we commemorate this evening each year.

In this final sermon in the three-part series, we dive into the well known, but often misunderstood and misapplied, section of Matthew 18 on going to your brother. We will explore the many ways in which these versus are not followed, and we will look carefully at the words that our Savior Jesus Christ told us to follow.

In this sermon, we move from forgiveness to reconciliation. We explore how reconciliation takes more than one person, and dive into why reconciliation is not required by God, and when it may be unwise or unsafe to do so. We then dive into the process for explicit reconciliation.

All of us in life get hurt, and all of us have hurt others. In this first sermon of the series, we dive in Forgiveness. We look at God’s forgiveness toward us and His command that we must forgive others. We see that forgiveness is both a decision and a process. We go through a helpful acronym to begin working through the forgiveness process. We finish by going through many things that forgiveness is not.

We have a God who sees the events of our lives and provides for our needs. This also means we must walk faithfully with Him through the ups and downs when they occur. This is not easy to do when everything seems to be crashing down. We must look for and remember the ways God has helped us in our lives. And regardless of what we encounter in life, we must not forget we serve a God who provides.

There are many ideas on the God of the Old Testament and many of the ideas are false. What does the Bible clearly show about the identity of the God who was seen and heard in the Old Testament?

As we continue our sermon series through the book of Revelation, we look at the Biblical theme of witnesses and how this theme plays out in Revelation 11 with the final two witnesses.
