by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on June 28, 2026) As we began to see yesterday, the verse under consideration contains two words of great importance: “subtilty” and “simplicity”. We were learning that Satan uses subtilty – or trickery, and deceit – as he assaults children of God in this world. However, the simplicity that...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on June 28, 2026) In the verse under consideration today, Paul mentions two words that are important to understand: subtilty and simplicity. “Subtilty” means “trickery” or “craftiness,” and carries implications of cunning deceit. In this complicated world, the devil uses subtlity to distract us from the truth of God’s...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on June 21, 2026) As we saw in the first half of this sermon, God gets the most glory when His children are in unity. This unity is especially important in the church, and that is the context in which Paul has been teaching this concept. Join us today...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on June 14, 2026) As we move into chapter 15 of Romans, Paul turns his “closing arguments” to the stronger brother. His message to this category of more mature Christian is simply, “Stay strong!” It is too easy to slip back into being the “weaker brother,” and so those...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on June 14, 2026) As Paul sums up his instructions about unity within the Kingdom of God on earth, he has messages for both “weaker” and “stronger” brethren.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on June 7, 2026) As we began to see yesterday, in the closing verses of Romans 14 Paul summarizes his message to the weaker brother: he tells him to “grow up!” As simple as that message is, the reality we find is that it is easier NOT to grow...

by Elder Chris McCool, Past (preached on June 7, 2026) As Paul sums up his teaching about the stronger and weaker brethren, he has a strong admonition for the weaker brother: grow up! Children of God ought to be growing in grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Join us today as we begin...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on May 17, 2026) As we go through our exposition of the Book of Romans, there are sometimes verses that “jump out at us,” and maybe take us down a “rabbit trail” that isn’t necessarily on the topic at hand. Today’s sermon is taken from one of those verses....

In the first half of this sermon from the end of Romans Chapter 14, we learned more about Paul’s admonition to “pursue peace.” Today, we examine the “things which make for peace” from verse 19.

by Elder Ben Shettles (preached on June 14, 2026) As we began to see in the first half of this powerful sermon by Elder Ben Shettles, sometimes we find ourselves sitting under a juniper tree like Elijah, experiencing spiritual depression and despair.

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on June 7, 2026) As we began to see yesterday, the Messiah was not what the Jews expected. Rather than a great political figure who would throw off the political yoke of the Romans, Jesus was a great Savior Who threw off the yoke of sin. He would be...

by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on June 7, 2026) In today’s sermon, Elder John Morgan Owens takes us to Isaiah to teach us about the gentleness of Christ.

by Elder Bobby Payne (preached on May 31, 2026) As we began to see yesterday, the little three-letter word “all” can mean many things in Scripture.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on May 17, 2026) As we began to see yesterday, God’s children who are living in this sin-cursed world are living in the difficult time between regeneration and resurrection.

by Elder Mike Ivey (preached on April 9, 2017) As we began to see in the first half of this sermon, there are two world views that exist today. In one worldview, man and matter are the highest order. In the other worldview, which is the biblical worldview, God is the Creator and sustainer of...

by Elder Mike Ivey (preached on April 9, 2017) In this powerful sermon, preached by Elder Mike Ivey back in 2017, we deal with the problem of two opposing world views.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on May 3, 2026) As we began to see yesterday, the world’s concept of the “judgment seat of Christ” In Romans 14:10 is generally inaccurate. This judgment seat is NOT a place of eternal judgment, but a place of daily, timely judgment for the child of God. When we...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on May 3, 2026) In the sermon today, we are taking a little trip down a “rabbit trail” found in our series on the Book of Romans. In Romans 14:10, we read about the “judgment seat of Christ.” What is this “judgment seat”? Is it a place where the...

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on May 3, 2026) As we began to see yesterday, Romans 14:17 shows us some of the characteristics of the Kingdom of God on earth, which is the church.
