August 17, 2023 03:00 - 42 minutes - 29.3 MB

Ask yourself these questions: Does your vision for your home match God’s vision? Are you leaving a legacy of faith from one generation to the next?

August 08, 2023 17:00 - 46 minutes - 31.8 MB

In Christ-centered homes, parents do three things: Listen, Speak and Teach. And there are three motivations for teaching the next generation: 1) To set their hope in God 2) To help them not forget the works of God and to keep His commands, and 3) To help them know not to be stubborn and rebellious like the Israelites of the previous generation spoken about in this Psalm.

July 25, 2023 19:00 - 40 minutes - 27.9 MB

The importance of God's glory is so essential for us to understand, yet many find it difficult to put into words. In this message, Sean Sivils teaches that the reason we fail to see the glory of God is because we have been spiritually blinded to the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. But thankfully, Jesus speaks light in the darkness of our hearts so that we can see and know Him personally.

Law for Relationship | Deuteronomy 5.1-21,32 | July 16, 2023 | Dr. Aaron Colyer

July 17, 2023 14:00 - 36 minutes - 25.4 MB

There are three relational charges we receive in the law as we look at the bigger picture in the Ten Commandments: 1) Love God with pure devotion (vs. 6-7), 2) Obey the Lord because He is a jealous God (vs. 8-10), and 3) Trust the law is for our good (vs. 5:32-34 and 6:24).

God Who Speaks | Deuteronomy 4:32-40 | July 9, 2023 | Dr. Aaron Colyer

July 11, 2023 15:00 - 38 minutes - 26.7 MB

In this new series we'll be looking at Deuteronomy, a book known for all its laws. But this series wants to emphasize that the heart of the law is relationship.

We hope you'll join us for the next two messages in this series, as well.

June 05, 2023 14:00 - 43 minutes - 30.1 MB

Sometimes we forget that we are supposed to be in the world, influencing the community around us and engaging the culture. So we need to remember that the world is watching, remember who we once were, and remember the loving-kindness of God, who makes salvation possible for all! When we are filled with thankfulness for the good news of Christ, that we have been rescued from sin and saved by the grace of God, it puts us in the right framework to fulfill our responsibility of displaying godlin...
