Jesus has come to bring the mercy of salvation, yet this salvation will come through judgment.Dr. Jeff Rich

Many did not recognize Jesus after He had been raised from the dead, and for various reasons. Tony has decided to camp on this for a couple of sermons. The reality is, God’s people today do not recognize His presence with them - is He with them? How? What does this mean? What are the implications of this? That is what part 1 of this two part series…

Wait expectantly for the return of the King!Dr. Jeff Rich

Did you know that the cross is “your story?” Did you ever think of Jesus’ crucifixion as your story? It is. Gloriously, it is the way we are forgiven for our sins. But it is more. The cross ushers us into new life, just like a marriage ceremony leads you into a new life.Tony Plummer

The generation to come must be taught to know God and His Word.Dr. Jeff Rich

Patience is necessary when appointing elders/pastors because patients protects culpability, prevents corruption and provides clarity.Bobby Harnist

In this sermon Tony walks us through Jesus’ last two trials, before Herod and Pilate. It is a violent, chaotic, unjust, unlawful, scene. But there is something bigger happening than all that we see or perceive. There is a much bigger story, eternal, supernatural, story unfolding which has been authored by God. God is the architect of everything tha…

The church is called by God to relate to her pastors in a just way without showing prejudice or partiality.Bobby Harnist

When Pilate asked Jesus “what is truth” it was because Jesus said He was in the world to testify to truth, and everyone who is of truth listened to His voice. In this sermon Tony leads us to focus on what Jesus meant by “those who are of the truth listen to my voice.” The implications of Jesus’ words are huge, practical, radical, and life altering.…

God calls older and younger widows to unique special ministries within the local church and their families.Jim Wentzlaff

Tony leads us to really think about the question that Pilate asked Jesus, “what is truth?” Why did Pilate ask this? What if you were asked this, could you answer? Does truth matter to you?Tony Plummer

When judgment begins for the household of God, the household of God needs elders who are all in.Dr. Jeff Rich

Jesus is shackled and chained. He is led off to begin the six trials that He must go through before being crucified. The lesson in all of this for us? It is after Peter denies Jesus three times and Jesus turns and looks at him. What did that look mean? What did Jesus communicate when He looked at Peter? It caused Peter to “weep bitterly” and maybe …

In the church we are to show honor by confronting one another in love and caring for those who have no family of their own.Jim Wentzlaff

1. What did you think of God as a teenager? How has that changed since then? 2. Read 1 Tim 4:12. Who is a young follower of Jesus whose life is an example to you? 3. Read 1 Cor 11:1. If a young person followed your life this last week, would they be closer to Jesus or farther away? Who are the young people following your life? 4. When it comes to t…

Judas led the religious leaders and Roman soldiers to the garden of Gethsemane to arrest Jesus. In order to identify Jesus so that the Roman soldiers knew who to arrest, Judas told them that he would kiss Jesus. And he did. He betrayed Jesus with a kiss. There is a lot to this scene and Tony unpacks some of it for us.…

1 Sam 21-23 is a story of a Cold War, but it presents us with two kings - two images, or more precisely: a model and type of Christ (David) and an anti-type of worldliness (Saul). What is important here is how these two kings react to advice, reports and news.Matthew Short

Jesus enters the garden of Gethsemane. And it is here where the redemptive work He came to fulfill really begins. Gethsemane lets us see the reality of the emotional state of Jesus as He approaches the cross. It is hard to read and even harder to see with the eyes of our heart.Tony Plummer
