Sermon: Stephen’s Defense and Death
In Stephen’s defense, recorded in Acts 7, the preacher convicted his Jewish audience of their sin of rebellion in rejecting the Son of God and His will for man. For this, he was executed. His steadfast faith is a wonderful example for us.
Sermon: What Did God Name His Church?
What do you say when people ask you, “What church do you go to?” The religious world has an incorrect view of the Lord’s church, beginning with its name.
Sermon: Paul’s Love for the Ephesians
The apostle Paul, in his final words to the Ephesian elders, expressed his great love for them. This love was the motivation for the warnings and admonitions he gave in Acts 20:17-38.
Sermon: A Faithless and Perverse Generation
Just as 2,000 years ago, we today live in the midst of a Faithless and Perverse generation. Our response must be to maintain our faith and purity, and shine as lights in the world.

Sermon: Calling on the Name of the Lord
Sermon by Josh Cox.

Sermon: Responsibilities in the Covenant of Marriage
Sermon by Josh Cox.
Beginning in Matthew 9, the lesson discusses some of the responsibilities of husbands and wives as revealed in scripture. Responsibilities that the world has largely forgotten.
Sermon: Remember Shiloh!
Jeremiah 7 records God’s call to Israel to remember Shiloh (cf. 1 Samuel 4:10-11) in their misplaced confidence that Jerusalem was safe because of the temple. The idea of virtue by association was wrong then, and it is wrong today!
Sermon: The Power of Love and Truth
Contrary to the message that world proclaims, it neither loves men, nor tells men the truth. In contrast, God both loves and proclaims His truth to all men. The power of Love and Truth is to save mankind.
Sermon: It was God’s will that Christ Die
An exegetical lesson covering the material in Hebrews 10:1-10. Animal sacrifices were not sufficient to take away sins, so God sent His son as a perfect and effectual sacrifice.
Sermon: Stand Fast in the Lord
In Philippians 4, the apostle exhorts his brethren to stand fast in the Lord. The lesson examines the first 9 verses of that chapter to ascertain what that steadfastness entails.
Sermon: Walk in Love, Light and Wisdom
An exegesis of Ephesians 5:1-21, discussing the exhortations of Paul to the church at Ephesus to walk in Love, Light and Wisdom.
Sermon: The Excuses of Moses
An interesting aspect of an examination of Moses’ excuses to God when he was charged with the task of leading the Israelites is that the excuses are common to each of us.
* Who am I?
* What shall I say?
* Suppose they will not believe me?
* I am slow of speech and tongue?
* Please send someone else!
Sermon: God is not like us
Psalm 50:21 reveals that God is not at all like us:
* He does not think like us
* He is not limited in knowledge
* He is not limited by time
* He is not limited in power
* He does not sin like us
Sermon by Bob Ward.
