God Writes New Chapters

Speaker:
Date:
Pastor J. S. Melvin takes us to 1 Samuel 16 and shows us that God sees you when others overlook you, God is shaping you in this current season, God's timing is never rushed, and God uses worship to restore you.

Refuge in the Name of the Lord

Speaker:
Matthew Arnold
Date:
Brother Matthew takes us to Psalm 20:1-9 and Joshua 20 and shows us how the six cities of refuge are a picture of the names of Jesus and the attributes of our Lord and they point to our ultimate high priest, the King of Righteousness, the King of Peace.

The Danger of Almost Obedience

Speaker:
J S Melvin
Date:
Pastor Melvin takes us to 1 Samuel 15 where we read about Saul taking King Agag alive instead of doing all that God had told him to. Partial obedience is willful disobedience dressed up in religious clothing. Incomplete obedience can leave something alive that will come back and destroy us later. We should obey our Lord, not in order to gain his love, but because he already loves us.

Build Your Altar

Speaker:
J S Melvin
Date:
Pastor Melvin takes us to 1 Samuel 14:31-52 and shows us how legalism actually produces worse sin in our lives than living in the victory and freedom of God's grace. Even in the middle of the messes you make, you, like Saul, can build an altar to the Lord and acknowledge his preeminence in your life. Know that God is still "speaking" even when silence is his response to your prayers.

Be Strong and of a Good Courage

Speaker:
Josh Coker
Date:
Elder Coker begins in Numbers 21 where Aaron has just died and the Israelites were discouraged. What do we do when we get discouraged? If we shift our perspective to Jesus and what awaits us in Eternity, we can be encouraged and lay hold on eternal life today!

Nicodemus

Speaker:
Josh Coker
Date:
Elder Josh Coker takes us to John 3:16 and shows us how this verse is a declaration about rather than an invitation to those who are believing in Christ.

The Promise of the Last Day

Speaker:
Dickie Halbgewchs
Date:
Elder Dickie Halbgewachs begins in 2 Peter 3 and encourages us to look forward to the last day, the day of the Lord, when the King will say as recorded in Matthew 25:34, "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world."

A Call to Humility

Speaker:
Josh Coker
Date:
In Philippians 2:1-9, Pastor Josh Coker shows us that we should think of ourselves less and others more.

A Promise for the Ages

Speaker:
Dickie Halbgewchs
Date:
In Genesis 3:14-15, we read about the results of Adam and Eve's transgression. Imagine the weight they felt after their fall, having actually been perfect, unlike any of us. What gave them hope and what gives us strength to go on today is the promise that Christ will prevail!

Legalism

Speaker:
J S Melvin
Date:
Join Pastor Melvin in 1 Samuel 14:24 where Saul makes a rule forbidding eating until the evening instead of celebrating the victory over the Philistines that God had given Israel that very day. Legalism, adhering to rules in fear of instead of out of love for the law giver, takes the honey out of holiness.
