S6E03: God the Father, Almighty (We Believe... Pt. 1)
Monday Jul 22, 2019
Monday Jul 22, 2019
The Apostles' Creed is one of our most ancient statements of the Christian faith. It affirms our belief in the triune nature of God, and the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Many churches recite this affirmation of faith each week, but how often do we really consider the meaning of the words? Why did the ancient Christians determine the need for such a statement of faith, and what does it mean to us today? On this Trinity Sunday it seems only appropriate that we begin this series, "We Believe..." with a look at God the Father, Almighty, from the throne room vision of Isaiah the prophet.

S6E45: The Holiness of God
Monday Jul 08, 2019
Monday Jul 08, 2019
Looking back at some of our favorite sermons from the past year, certainly The Holiness of God would have to be included in that list. In the 21st Century, the Christian church in America has completely lost touch with the holiness of God. We feel comfortable with a God that we can pal around with but not with a God that demands strict purity. Looking at this throne room vision by Isaiah, we examine the infinite holiness of God and what it means for us as children of God. Rather than elevating ourselves, this message is meant to put us in proper relation to Almighty God.

S3E03: Freedom Isn't Free (Pitman Grove Camp Meeting)
Thursday Jul 04, 2019
Thursday Jul 04, 2019
This is a message that was delivered at the Pitman Grove Camp Meeting, on the day after Independence Day (in 2015). We in America take our freedom for granted, and it is only on special days like July 4th and Memorial Day that we remember that our freedom came at a high cost. Likewise, we as Christians are often ready to embrace our freedom in Christ, without thinking about how much that freedom cost our God. So grab your Bible, turn it to John chapter 8, and prepare your heart and mind as we look at the high cost of freedom. Freedom isn't free.
