Pray Without Disputing (Chapter 2)
In this message from our “How to Be a Healthy Church” series, we explore 1 Timothy 2 and Paul’s call to pray without anger or disputing. Although Christians may disagree on difficult issues—including the role of women in the church—our goal is not to win arguments but to live peaceful, godly lives that point people to Jesus. Healthy churches approach one another with open hands, clothe themselves…
Guard the Truth (Chapter 1)
In the opening message of our “How to Be a Healthy Church” series, we explore 1 Timothy 1 and Paul’s call to guard the truth of the gospel. As trust in churches and pastors declines, Scripture reminds us that healthy churches value character over influence, test what they hear, and remain anchored in sound doctrine. The gospel is not “Jesus plus” something else—it is the good news that Jesus came…
What Happens in the End?
For generations, Christians have debated the rapture, the tribulation, and the millennial kingdom. But what does the book of Revelation actually say? In the final message of our Revelation series, we'll separate popular ideas from biblical teaching, explore the three major views of Revelation 20, and discover why this book wasn't written to fill us with fear about the future, but with hope and…
This Doesn't Make Sense: Signs and Symbols
Revelation 4–19 contains some of the most mysterious and debated imagery in all of Scripture, but its central message is clearer than many people realize. In this message, we explore the four major approaches Christians have used to interpret Revelation—the Futurist, Preterist, Historicist, and Idealist views—and discover that faithful believers have disagreed on these chapters for centuries.…
This Makes Sense: Letters to the Seven Churches
(Revelation 2:1-3-22)
Understanding The Most Confusing Book of the Bible
Revelation is often considered the Bible’s most confusing, debated, and misunderstood book. In this opening message of our series, It’s Revelation, Not Revelations, we step back from charts, timelines, and end-times speculation to explore the book’s original purpose and historical context. Who wrote Revelation? Who was it written to? What was happening in the Roman Empire that prompted John to…
In Matters of Opinion, Liberty
In this message from Romans 14, Russ explores one of the most important principles for maintaining unity in a diverse church: “In matters of faith, unity; in matters of opinion, liberty; in all things, love.” Paul addresses disagreements among early Christians over issues like food and special days, reminding believers not to judge or despise one another over disputable matters. Drawing…
From Groanings to Glory
In her sermon From Groanings to Glory , Lydia Brooks draws from Romans 8:18-28 to challenge the tendency many believers have to skip straight to the comfort of verse 28 without sitting in the weight of the verses that precede it. Using a mirror-versus-microscope approach to Scripture, she walks through three movements in the passage: first, that we are bound to our human nature and our pride will…
The New Heavens & New Earth (Revelation 21-22)
This week we wrapped up our “Big Picture” series by turning to the final two chapters of the Bible — Revelation 21–22. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture tells one unified story: creation, fall, rescue, redemption, and restoration. Pastor Russ explores how the Bible ends where it began — with God dwelling among His people in a renewed creation. Along the way, we look at the connection between…
