To spend too much time trying to define the Most Holy Trinity is to risk falling into heresy. Humans, with their finite capacity for understanding, have oft times tried to fully unravel the Trinitarian Mystery. However, even though we cannot know EVERYTHING about the Trinity, we can still live faithfully in this divine Mystery, and know God and live in relationship with Him.

Scripture Passage: Psalm 128

Perhaps the most difficult and profoundly rewarding role a man could ever commit to is being a good Dad. The faith of our fathers is what leads our families through the minefield of today’s world.

Psalm 128 describes a faithful father in four ways.

First, it is his character.

The Book of Proverbs is full of wisdom for making friends forever, and how to first be the friend we all need.

Proverbs 17:17 says, “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.”

Sermon Overview

Scripture Passage: Matthew 5:10-14

If we stand up for Jesus, we will be persecuted. The only way to escape it is to compromise—to conform to this world. Instead, we must decide now that we will learn to stand for Jesus, no matter what happens.

Matthew 5:10 reveals, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

Adrian Rogers says, “Persecution that you receive is the thermometer that registers your love and your co...

Redemption E1 — Following our series on the Exodus Way, we’re going to explore a word that first shows up in the Exodus scroll, redemption. This word can mean lots of things: redeeming a coupon, redeeming an otherwise bad day, or—from a Christian perspective—being redeemed by Jesus. But what does redemption actually refer to in the story of the Bible? Jon and Tim kick off this new theme series by exploring how this word is used throughout Scripture and then defining the two Hebrew words that are translated as “redemption” or “redeem.”
