Sermon: The Curious Case of Micah and His Idols
Micah was one in Israel (like many others) who did what was right in his own eyes (cf. Judges 17:6). His willful, uninformed worship of God teaches us much about the dangers present in our own day.
Sermon: The Death of a Grain of Wheat
A discussion of the illustration Jesus used to emphasize the necessity and glory of His death (John 12:20-26)
Sermon: Traditionalism
Description Josh Cox describes the dangers of traditionalism from two extremes. First, binding the traditions of men as equal to scripture. Second, rejecting expedient traditions as part of a compromise with current culture.
Sermon: Be Reconciled to God
An exegetical study of 2 Corinthians 5:12-21, explaining the importance of Paul’s ministry, and why we should all be striving for reconciliation with our God!
Sermon: Tongue Speaking – Glossolalia

A study of the transfiguration of Jesus, recorded in Luke 9, establishing the major truth – that God wants us to hear His Son in these final days.
Sermon: Antisemitism
A discussion of the form of racism known as antisemitism (a hatred of Jews). This, like any kind of prejudice against men, is sinful.
Sermon: The Sin of Gossip
Gossip is one of the most destructive sins of the tongue that a Christian can commit.
Sermon: Principles of Leadership
Jehoshaphat was an outstanding king of Judah. By looking at his character and reign, we can learn a great deal about the need for godly leadership in our country, homes and churches.
Sermon: Taught and Established
Peter wrote in 2 Peter 14-18 that untaught and unstable people may twist the scriptures to their destruction. This shows us how important it is to be taught, and established in the faith.
Sermon: Lessons from the Baptism of John
As we contrast the baptism of John with baptism in the name of the Lord (for the remission of sins), we are left with truths that need to be taught today.
Sermon: I Am the Resurrection and the Life
Lesson 28 in series:
A discussion of Jesus’ teaching in John 11, as Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead.
