In December 2021, we preached a 12-message sermon series on the issue of head coverings in the church. It's a verse-by-verse, in-depth exposition of 1 Corinthians 11:1-16.

14 times, in both the Old and New Testaments, love is defined as keeping God's commandments. In the Old Testament, the Nation of Israel demonstrated their love for God by keeping His commandments. * Exodus 20:6 & Deut 5:10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and

2 questions: * Are works needed for salvation? * If so, whose work is needed? The Bible tells us salvation does not and cannot come from the works of man: Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the

24 years ago the Lord saved my soul when I repented, put my full faith and trust in Christ alone and believed the gospel. This involved me, admitting I was wrong about what I believed, concerning how someone is saved from sin. However, after I got saved, I thought drinking

God created only 2 genders: Male and Female. No gender is "assigned to you at birth". Rather, God has miraculously CREATED your gender before you were birthed into this world. The Bible says: Psalm 139:13-15 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

One of the best ways to cure anger is to slow down. Here are 4 Proverbs that God has wisely given us for help when our temperature starts to rise. #1: Slow down and think how to best handle the situation. Proverbs 14:17 He that is soon angry dealeth

Job 8:13-14 So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish: Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web. The frail web of a spider can't hold much. Anyone can easily brush it away. It's just like

A couple of years ago, my son and I got to spend 5 minutes in a flight simulator. This was not a real flight. It was only a simulation of a real flight. All the simulator did was fake what it was not. It faked a real flight by assuming

When someone offers a better way or a new idea, sometimes they are viewed as arrogant or prideful by those who reject change and are threatened by new ideas. Could it be that those caught in the trap of "this is the way we've always done it" are the ones
