The New Testament rejects the ridiculous idea that Christ came to abolish or destroy the Law of God. We must know, of course, which Law the Bible is talking about. The Book of Isaiah shows what happens when we break the Law… and when we keep it.
Sermons
Our Human Nature
How do we succeed in the struggle with our human nature? What lessons can we learn from the beginning of the Bible with Adam and Eve and what we experience in society and the way we live today? Does it have an effect on our future?
Succeed
Does the Bible offer any instructions that we can follow to succeed in life? What do we need to do to become successful in our personal endeavors and in the eyes of God?
The Power of Peace
Attaining Godly peace is not a matter of living a pacifist lifestyle in hopes of avoiding conflict. Godly peace is an acceptance of lifelong struggle. We must prepare ourselves as warriors, ready to battle the darkness of satanic thought that permeates this world.

In Jesus’ Name
How people appropriate the name of Jesus Christ is truly a matter of life or death! The Bible reveals the awesome responsibility we have to understand and honor the Person Who is the Son of God.

Rahab from Jericho became a stranger in Israel and married Salmon, the son of the leader of Judah. Rahab and Salmon became the ancestors of Boaz and of David. Both Joseph and Mary, as well as Jesus, descended from David. But if today’s immigration laws had been in effect at the time of Rahab and Ruth, none of these developments could have happened, and there would have been no David, no Mary, and no Jesus.
You Shall Not Swear!
The topic of swearing and giving an oath is not as easily answered as some may think. Many concepts abound, pro and con. The Bible tells us that God swears; that angels swear; that righteous people in the Old Testament have sworn, and that people in the Millennium will swear. But don’t Jesus and James tell us that we are not to swear at all? However, some claim that Jesus and Paul have sworn. What is the answer?
