Sermon Summary How do we “choose a home church”—both the initial choice of which local church will be your spiritual family, and the ongoing choice, choosing your church over the avalanche of other things screaming for your focus? Here are five criteria to consider when choosing a church: Is this a church where God’s Word…

Well, in fact, that is precisely the claim which Scripture makes (2 Timothy 1:10; John 5:24-25; 11:25-26).

With the advent of 24/7 technology, marriages falling apart, a corrupt culture, and other challenges, being a parent can begin to feel like a burden rather than a blessing. The Bible is full of relevant principles that will help us…
Sermon Summary First Timothy 3:15-16 introduces a hymn which is older than the New Testament! Believers began singing shortly after Jesus rose from the dead and it quickly spread throughout the churches as a declaration of their faith in the resurrection of Jesus the Messiah. But before Paul quoted the lyrics, he tells us what…
