Invitation: Give Me Thy Heart

Invitation delivered by: Justin Carrell

Justin notes that all we have belongs to God. We are merely stewards. If we recognize this, whether it is our money our our heart, all decisions we make will be made with God at the forefront of our mind.

Invitation: Teach us To Number Our Days

Invitation delivered by: Dennis Craig

Dennis uses the text of Psalm 90, the prayer of Moses near the end of a generation’s wandering in the wilderness, to discuss the frailty and duration of our life on earth.

Audio

Invitation: Physical VS Spiritual Cleansing

Invitation delivered by: Joshua Jackson

We take baths each day to cleanse ourselves physically, and yet so many are unwilling to wash in water to cleanse ourselves from the filth of sin. Why is that? Baptism is necessary for salvation.

Audio

Invitation: We Need to be Diligent

Invitation delivered by: Joshua Jackson

Joshua exorts us regarding the need for continual diligence and attention as we live each day as Christians.

Audio

Invitation: Do or Do Not, There is No Try

Invitation delivered by: Joshua Jackson

In our lives as Christians, we either do, or we do not. Too often Christians say that they “tried” to obey, or “tried” to avoid sin. Consider passages such as Matthew 25:34-46, either we will have done God’s will, or not. Our eternal destiny is at stake. Yoda had it right!

Invitation: Living for the Moment

Invitation delivered by: Jeremiah Cox

Jeremiah uses the text of Luke 16 (The Rich man and Lazarus) to point out the consequences of living life for the moment, without concern for the future.

Audio

Invitation: Saved in Childbearing

Invitation delivered by: Justin Carrell

Justin supplies an explanation of the text of 1 Timothy 2:11-15, as well as making proper applications regarding the teaching opportunities and responsibilities available to women.

Audio

Invitation: Focus on the Gift, Not the Box!

Invitation delivered by: Roger Paulsel

Roger uses a humorous personal experience to illustrate an important point from Acts 17. All God gives us is for the purpose of our seeking for and finding Him (cf. vs. 27).

Audio

Invitation: Euphemisms

Invitation delivered by: Joshua Jackson

Josh discusses the importance of grace in speech, pointing out that the use of Euphemisms (substitutes for profanity and blasphemy) are inappropriate for Christians.

Audio

Invitation: Sincerity is not Enough

Invitation delivered by: Jeremiah Cox

Jeremiah uses the example of Paul, who was sincere even when persecuting Christians, to establish the truth that sincerity is serving God is insufficient. We must also be living in accord with His will.

Audio

Invitation: The Greater Blessing is in Giving

Invitation delivered by: Stan Cox

Stan uses the text of Philippians 4:10-ff, to establish the truthfulness of the adage, it is better to give than receive. Paul was blessed by the gift given by the Philippians, but the church received the greater blessing.

Audio

Invitation: The Joy of Salvation

Invitation delivered by: Stan Cox

Using the example of the Philippian Jailor’s conversion, Stan points out the joy that we obtain when we are obedient to the gospel (cf. Acts 16:30-33)

Audio

Invitation: When Enlightenment Really Isn’t

Invitation delivered by: Justin Carrell

Justin examines a misguided claim of spiritual enlightenment, showing the fallacy of focusing on the faults of others rather than the challenges of self.

Audio

Invitation: Gospel Meeting Attendance

Invitation delivered by: Josh Cox

In this short talk (5:45), Josh discusses the text of Hebrews 10:24-25, and the importance of attending services as a means of edifying one another. Application was made to the upcoming gospel meeting.

Audio

Invitation: Jesus Christ, Lord and Sustainer

Invitation delivered by: Stan Cox

The text of John 15 is used to sustain the assertion that Jesus Christ is preeminent, and that we are spiritually sustained only through Him.
