Ezekiel was called by God to speak to a stubborn, rebellious nation, Israel. Through every challenge, God reminded him: it was all so the people would know a prophet had been among them. Can the same be said of us? Do those around us know there's a voice of God in their midst?
As justified believers, how should we respond to a government that is far from just or perfect? In Romans 13, Paul tackles this challenging question, offering timeless wisdom for navigating authority with a proper mindset.
In Proverbs 30, we find a fascinating list of four things that "go well" each marked by confidence, purpose, and strength. These aren't just poetic images; they're spiritual reminders for every believer. As we examine this passage, we'll ask an important question: Are we "going well" in our Christian walk? Are we living in a way that reflects faith, discipline, and direction? If our greatest desire is to one day hear the Lord say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant," then today, we must be committed to going well in the life He's given us.
Life pulls us in a thousand directions and finding balance can feel nearly impossible. But what if God actually wants us to live with peace, purpose, and stability? In this message, we'll explore what true balance looks like in the Christian life, how to pursue it, and why it matters to God.
This week, we explore four small creatures that may not be mighty, but are described in Scripture as exceeding wise. What can we learn from them? And more importantly, do we have a desire to grow in wisdom ourselves?
This account begins with a perfect ratio. Ten lepers cry out to Jesus, and all ten are healed and cleansed as they obey His command. But only one returns to give Him thanks. Where are the other nine?
Paul has already given instructions on how believers should relate to one another. But as this chapter of Romans comes to a close, he turns his attention to the "dearly beloved," teaching them how to respond to the world around them.
As we continue our study of Proverbs chapter 30, we come to a powerful reflection from Agur, who speaks of four things that are too wonderful for him to understand. In verses 18–19, he points to mysteries that, while difficult to fully grasp, are not beyond our ability to experience, especially in the Christian life.
The Lord instructed His disciples to get into a boat and begin sailing across a certain body of water, fully aware that a storm would be waiting for them. This storm carried many things, but the greatest of these were the lessons that could only be learned within it.
Evangelist Randy Bell stopped by for our evening service and preached a wonderful message on the numbers "17" and "19" and their symbolism in the Word of God.
As we join the two disciples walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus, we take note that this journey is happening on the same day as the Lord's resurrection from the dead. The very day that death was defeated was also a day filled with uncertainty and doubt for some. Thankfully, the Lord knew exactly how to help these disciples and He can help you too!
What is the danger of accusing somebody without having all the needed information? You might be wrong, and if you are, then you will lose all credibility. Agur is about to present some accusations against a generation, and we will see that he is absolutely correct.
As we look at the Lord's triumphant entry into Jerusalem, we see some characters who are present at it. It would do us good to ask ourselves, which one of these are we?
As we begin to look at how a justified individual is supposed to act towards those within Christ and those outside of Christ, we are beseeched by Paul to get these first few verses settled in our hearts.
Who is Agur? What did Agur say? We look at these two questions to determine which one is more important.
Are you in the middle of it? Your "it" may differ from someone else's "it", but it still is difficult to be in the middle of "it". We look at three things that David did while he was in the middle of his "it".
Has God cast away Israel? This is the question that is asked and answered in Romans 11.
As we close out Proverbs 29, we look at some of the remaining miscellaneous verses, and see what they have to teach us about discernment.
In Genesis, we see the question asked, "Is there anything too hard for God?" Thankfully, God goes on to answer that question in the book of Luke, when he lets us know, "with God nothing shall be impossible." Now, let's look at three things that are not impossible for God to do.
Some of our young men preached in our afternoon services. They did a tremendous job!

Water is used in Scripture to picture the Holy Spirit of God. As we look at this truth found in John 4 and 7, along with an illustration given by Pastor Tate, we must ask ourselves if there is water in our whistle?
Raising children and providing for their physical needs is a difficult and serious task for any parent. Rearing a child and guiding and training them to become spiritual and responsible adults is even more difficult. In this chapter of Proverbs, we see an essential element that is needed in rearing children, correction.
David waited patiently for the Lord, both in his deliverance from Saul and his deliverance to the throne of Israel. While David waited, there were three things that helped him to wait patiently for the Lord. Are you waiting patiently on the Lord?
As Paul continues to share his burden for Israel, and their salvation, not only is the sincerity of Paul's desire seen, but he also shares what is hindering Israel from being saved.
God sees all and gives life to all, whether poor, deceitful, or foolish. But if you make bad choices about your heart, friends, words, or behavior, you may find yourself as one of them.
As we look at the Passover Lamb, we observe some wonderful similarities that can be seen in our Savior, Jesus Christ. We are thankful that He is our Passover Lamb!
As we open Romans 9, we can hear Paul's sincere burden to see his brethren, the people of Israel saved. This chapter may also cause one to ask, did God stop loving the Jews? And if He did, how should we interpret Romans 8?
King Asa began his rule in Judah by doing things that were right and commendable. Sadly, by the end of his reign he could not be described in the same way. Where did he go wrong? His trouble began when he started digging his own grave.
The Apostle Paul not only had an extraordinary life, but he also lived a persuaded Christian life. Can we say the same about ourselves?
As we have looked at the wicked and the righteous throughout this chapter, we look at the first verse and realize, this is not where they begin, but rather where each one ends. We must ask ourselves, how did they get there?
Moses, a man whose name is synonymous with being a leader and living by faith, had another wonderful trait: He was willing to listen to the Lord.When was the last time you listened to the Lord? Do you know the impact it could have on others if we were to listen to the Lord?
One of the blessings of being justified by Christ, is the promise and reality of the Holy Spirit of God dwelling in us. The in dwelling of the Holy Spirit in believers enables us to live the Christian life through the Holy Spirit.
Proverbs 28:6 explains that the wicked and righteous are contrasted with each other, and this includes how they acquire and view wealth.
One look at the Maniac of Gadara, and it would have been obvious that he needed the Lord. Is there somebody that you know that needs the Lord too, are you going to make that they are introduced to Him, like this man was?
We often look at the past and the future of the Christian life. We thank the Lord for the past that he delivered us from and look forward to our future in Heaven. Yet, Romans 8 tells every Christian, that due to our justification through Christ, there are things that we can experience and enjoy right now!
Proverbs 28 is a comparison and contrast chapter. It compares the "wicked" and the "righteous". In this first part, we see how these two groups differ as leaders and followers.
