The Wisdom of God vs. The Foolishness of Men

January 26, 2020

Have you noticed that the things which impress most people mean very little to God, and the things which really matter to God are often undervalued or even despised by men?

Common Myths About Christmas

December 22, 2019

Every year about this time, my late friend Warren Kenney would preach a sermon on the widespread myths or misunderstandings surrounding the Christmas holiday. He felt this was an issue so serious, so pervasive, that it warranted a full sermon every year. What are some of these misconceptions, and why […]

Good Elderships

God’s Law Of Exclusion

December 8, 2019

In the Bible we find generic as well as specific commands. Generic commands are general in nature and do not specify any particular method for obeying them. For example, the Great Commission features a general command to “go into all the world,” but is not specific as to how to […]
