To live with courage and conviction begins long before we are tested. It begins with a heartfelt resolve to know God’s word and do it, no matter what. In short, faithfulness is decided before it is tested. Daniel 1. 

Guest Speaker Dr. Todd Gray, Executive Director of the Kentucky Baptist Convention, brings this Sanctity of Human Life Sunday message and gives us seven statements the Bible reveals of how we are called to value human life biblically.

The call to Christianity is the call to sacrifice your life for Christ. Not to earn anything, but to have the life the Lord has called you to as faithful servants of his…indeed, it is the only life worth living. Nehemiah 1:1-2:8.

If we want to walk closely with the Lord, we cannot do that apart from abiding in his word. In fact, abiding in his word is the catalyst for spiritual health in nearly every aspect of our lives. Jeremiah 2; 2 Kings 22

As we look at a famed vision given to the prophet Ezekiel amid some of Israel's darkest days, we will see God's promise to bring new life and hope into their situation and to all of us who are his. Ezekiel 37:1-14.

The birth of Jesus does not happen as we would expect, but it happens exactly as God planned. In fact, the way and the timing both demonstrate that God is in control the whole time. And this story provides a needed reminder that God works his w...

Joseph faced an impossible situation, but when God revealed who the child was, everything changed. In the same way, when we truly see who Jesus is, it changes everything about how we live. Matthew 1:18-25

It is hard for us to conceive of life with no limits…and yet, what we find is that God does not have any limits regarding who he can use or what he can do, and the story of Jesus’s birth is a defining picture of that reality. Luke 1:26-38.

Many will miss the wedding feast of Christ and his bride (the church). Surprisingly, people won't miss the feast because they weren't invited; instead, they will miss it because they've either ignored the invitation or were unwilling to prepare...

A Christian ought to reflect the love of Jesus in all of their actions. Join us as we look to the parable of the good Samaritan to show us how this is manifested in the life of the believer. Luke 10:25-37

Everyone struggles with the desire for having more than is needed, or with the fear of not having what we need. Jesus gives us a parable and a teaching that both warn us against the blinding effects of covetousness and the cripplying effects of...

If we don’t realize that what impresses on earth is unimpressive in heaven, we will believe a lie and miss out on the Lord. What people naturally value is not the same as what God values. Therefore, we must look to the word and see what the Lor...

While we all know we ought to pray, we often aren’t really sure how to do so effectively. Jesus provides a simple guide for his disciples to understand how they ought to pray, and it would be wise for us to learn it and then do it! Luke 11:1-13...

Everyone experiences discouragement, but those who are in Christ should always take heart because the Lord has provided for us a straightforward remedy: diligent, heartfelt prayer.  Luke 18:1-14

Jesus teaches this parable to reveal that true disciples will continually live in obedience to serving what God has entrusted to them for the Kingdom until He returns. Matthew 25:14-30.

While many people claim to be Christians, far fewer can actually define what that means or how they can really know if they are. Fortunately, Jesus describes with precision what it means to know him, i.e., to be a Christian, and it’d be wise to...

Your greatest need is to recognize your need for God’s forgiveness and to experience his forgiveness! When someone experiences the freedom of being forgiven, it can and will lead to a profound and lasting change in their life. Luke 7:35-50

When we look around, we can get disheartened, discouraged, angry, and even confused. It is only when we look up that we’ll be able to see the truth and find the hope we’re looking for in the midst of hardship and discouragement. 1 Peter 1:3-12

Jesus makes it clear what the cost of discipleship is. And this morning as we look at who this call is to, what it prohibits, and what it demands we see the great calling that it is to be a disciple of Christ. Luke 14:25-35.

Jesus is the one and only invaluable treasure on this earth. It’s not that there aren’t other valuable things in this world; it’s that in comparison to Jesus and what he gives us, nothing is even remotely as valuable as he is.  Matthew 13:...

Every believer is called and enabled to influence the world for Christ. The question is never: are you called or able to influence others? The question is simply will you seek to? Matthew 13:24-33

Naturally, we struggle to comprehend the depth of our sinfulness and the greatness of the love and mercy of our God. This parable presents both in shocking fashion as Jesus tells a story of two radically sinful sons and their Father whose love ...

Naturally, we hear what we want to hear rather than what Jesus actually says! We often hear the easy truths and look past the hard ones, but Jesus doesn’t give us that option. Today, I want to show you why listening is so crucial, and how not g...

Listen in as we hear an update from our Scotland Missionary, Wade Clark. And be challenged as he preaches 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11

For anyone to come to know the Lord, they must encounter him personally. For it is only when we encounter God that we will ever see our need for him and experience his amazing grace. Exodus 20:18-24
