Numbers 35:1-34 Why did God care enough about the manslayer to create the cities of refuge? What are we to learn from this shadow in the Old Testament?
1 John 5:1-21 In 1 John 5, the apostle John offers believers a firm anchor in the midst of spiritual storms: the fundamentals of the faith. He reminds the church that there are truths we can know with certainty—Jesus is God, believers have eternal life, God hears and answers prayer, and true Christians do not practice sin. Amid the confusion sown by…
1 John 4:1-21 In this sermon from 1 John 4, we explore what it truly means for a Christian to “abide in God.” John teaches that abiding requires both discernment—testing the spirits to ensure they align with Christ’s truth—and love, especially for fellow believers. Just as God demonstrated His love by sending His Son, we are called to reflect that love in…
2 Corinthians 5:1-10 In a world where homelessness—both physical and spiritual—can feel overwhelming, Paul reminds us that our earthly bodies are only temporary dwellings. This sermon explores the longing we all feel for a permanent home, one not made with hands but prepared by God. Through trials and burdens, we groan for something greater, and in Christ, we are promised a home…

Ephesians 6:10-24 In a world filled with uncertainty and spiritual conflict, Paul’s message in Ephesians 6 calls Christians to “armor up” with truth, righteousness, readiness, faith, salvation, and the Word of God—spiritual tools powered by prayer. This sermon reminds us that our true enemy is not people, but the devil and his schemes, and that victory comes not through our own strength,…
Deut. 12:29-13:5 Today, we often spend so much of our attention on getting people to “obey the gospel”—but after a person comes up out of the waters, what’s next? We encourage them to keep coming—twice on Sundays and once on Wednesdays. We call on them to continue their study of God’s Word and to apply it to their lives—becoming a new person…
Aquila and Priscila were left behind in Ephesus to continue the work—supporting the local church and continuing to evangelize the city while Paul moved on to Caesarea and beyond. It’s then that Luke takes a break from following Paul’s journey and, instead, remains in Ephesus to account for the arrival of a Jewish man: Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria,…
