To the Chosen Lady and Her Children :: January 5, 2025
A few years ago, we studied 1 John together, but we have never studied 2 and or 3 John during my time as your pastor. So I thought it was high time we did that at the beginning of this year. This…
The Bright Morning Star – December 29, 2024
Our first message in this series went almost back to the very beginning of the Bible, the Law of Moses, Numbers chapter 24. Our second message was drawn from the highpoint middle of the Bible, the Gospel accounts. Matthew chapter 2. This…
We Saw His Star – December 22, 2024
Last Sunday, we started a very short sermon series called “The Bright Star of Bethlehem.” We turned way back to the Book of Numbers and studied that enigmatic prophecy, where under the influence of the Holy Spirit, the pagan prophet Balaam…

The point of this passage is to greatly encourage the Christians who read it. Our graduating seniors need strong encouragement, as do we all, and this passage has it by the truck full. Pastor Matt Mitchell preaching on Hebrews 6:13-20…
Don’t miss the point of this passage. It is one of the most difficult in the New Testament to interpret and harmonize with the rest of our theology. It’s very heavy and scary. The author of Hebrews paints a very…
Nobody likes to be scolded, but sometimes a scolding is exactly what we need to get our attention and to keep us from going off the rails. All good mothers know that, and so does the author of Hebrews. Pastor…
The wages of sin is death, and there is nothing we can do to rescue us. Someone Else has to deliver us. And Someone Else did! Pastor Matt Mitchell preaching on Hebrews 5:1-10 Full Manuscript available on Pastor Matt’s blog.…
