Friday First - Victorious Light
by Matthew Allen on December 3rd, 2021
John 1.1-18 declares that the word has become flesh. He has come into a dark world and is the light of the world. The time of guessing and groping is over. Days of doubt and uncertainty are finished. The pathway of darkness has become light and the way has become clear. On Sunday, we will examine John 1.1-5 and discover how light is victorious over darkness and why you can rest your soul on this fact. Read More

Friday First - Finish Your Race
by Matthew Allen on November 27th, 2021
The Hebrew writer not only intends for us to see what the life of faith looks like, he intends for us to live it; i.e., to get down out of the seats, onto the arena floor and get in the game, to run the race, with a mindset to win, just like those who have gone on before. Read More

Friday First - Heavenly Citizens
by Matthew Allen on November 12th, 2021
Heaven is what motivates us. We want to see the Savior. We want to hear well done. We want to go to our reward. We want to experience eternal glory. This is the focus of life that is required if we are going to pursue Jesus’ likeness. Since He is a heavenly being, heaven is our place. If we are preoccupied with Him, we are preoccupied with heaven. That means, it really should matter much about what happens here. But, it should matter a whole lot to us about what happens there. Jesus is there. That’s our place. Read More

Friday First - Honoring Christ ...By Life ... or Death

Are we so selflessly committed to Jesus that death has no consequence; attacks by others are meaningless; and troubles and struggles seem light?

Fellowship - A Silent Sermon
by Cain Atkinson on October 22nd, 2021
“By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13.35).As followers of Jesus, we are certainly to be conscious of the way in which we conduct our relationships. One-half of the greatest commandments pertain to our love for our neighbors, and the phrase one another has been recorded over one-hundred times in the pages of the New Testament. There is n...

Friday First - A Deeper Love
by Matthew Allen on October 22nd, 2021
Paul’s life was one of Spirit-produced joy. He found joy in the pleasant memories of his brethren. He experienced joy by praying on their behalf. He found joy in the fellowship he had with them. He also discovered joy by trusting in God to bring everything He had begun to completion.
This is such an exciting perspective and one that we must employ as we serve the Lord. Read More

Friday First - From Start to Finish
by Matthew Allen on October 8th, 2021
In Philippians 1.6 Paul writes, I am sure of this, that he who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. This is just an amazing passage. And for it, it explains Paul’s eager joy of anticipation. It explains God’s work from start to finish. While things for Paul weren’t perfect at the moment, he was moved by deep trust that God would work things out in the end. Read More
