Is Forgiveness A Lost Art?

Holding grudges, threatening retaliation, keeping score, falling out with on old friend, nurturing hard feelings, posting a stinger on Facebook — all of these can be tale-tale signs of a common problem these days: a failure to forgive. We are quick to accuse, fast to file a lawsuit, eager to […]

Socialism: A Christian Response

April 7, 2019

By now probably everyone has noticed the huge uptick in national discussion about socialism.

March 31, 2019

Like me, you may have heard the sobering statement that “the church is always just one generation away from apostasy.” A sort of reality check, it reminds us that every component of the gospel—every fact, every command, every inference— must be faithfully taught and passed down to the next generation, […]

Are You A Friend Of God?

March 10, 2019

I have been thinking about what it really means to be a friend. Did you know there is someone described in the Bible as being God’s friend? His name is Abraham. “And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness; […]

Do You Think You’re The Only Ones Going To Heaven?

March 3, 2019

This is the title of our sermon for next Sunday morning. It’s a great question, and if you have been in the church of Christ a while you have probably heard something like it many times. Do you know how to answer it? Are you “ready to give answer to […]

Almost Persuaded

February 24, 2019

In 1871 P.P. Bliss wrote and composed the haunting song, “Almost Persuaded.” Based on King Agrippa’s response to Paul’s preaching in Acts 26:28, the song vividly depicts the tragic consequences of a soul who delays obedience to the gospel until it is finally too late. “Almost Persuaded” has been sung […]
