If God gives knowledge and truth to every Christian He calls, He also entrusts them with responsibility. Whoever has received more light and understanding will be judged more strictly by God, for our life is a test and a time of character formation. Therefore, this spiritual principle applies: With great power comes great responsibility.
Sermons
Give Your Amen Meaning
The word Amen is used to end a prayer. But is that the only context in which the word has been used throughout the Bible? How should we think about this word when we use it, and does it hold any implications for us today?
Jesus Christ’s Marriage
Marriage is the most intimate and committed kind of relationship that we humanly experience. The Bible uses betrothal and marriage as a model for us to understand Jesus Christ’s relationship with Israel and the Church of God. Seeing that the Church of God is considered to be the betrothed bride of Christ, how does this understanding affect our lives?
Where Do You Belong?
A sense of belonging is important as we work to fit in with an organization or on our job. However, we also know we must be careful with whom we align ourselves. In this Sermonette we will consider scriptures and examples that can assist as we contend with life, work, school, and family challenges and not compromise our primary relationship with God.
When Is God Glorified?
Christians are to glorify God. How does this work? How are we doing in bringing glory to God?
Reasons for Trials
A follow-up to the message “Keep Going” given on April 18, 2026. What are our initial reactions when we are faced with trials? Is there a purpose behind them? Focusing on Paul, how did he react to his many trials and what was his motivation? How can we relate?
Keep Going
Even when we find ourselves in unexpected circumstances, and our patience and strength are tested, how do we keep going when things seem hopeless? Here is a true story of my family’s trip to Germany and the absolute chaos we faced at the airports along the way.
Faith in God’s Protection
God has promised us His protection, and many biblical examples demonstrate God’s mighty intervention. But does God still perform miracles today? Does He still intervene in our lives in unexpected and unfathomable ways? Do we truly believe in His miraculous power—just as David and Daniel did, for instance? And how, exactly, does God deliver us from time to time?
The Third Commandment
The third commandment is usually assumed to forbid using God’s name in a frivolous or vain manner. This is true, however, since we are a part of God’s family, we need to be careful that we do not profane God’s holy name by our actions. We are to be an example to others by our obedience to God and fully respect His name that we bear.
The Destructiveness of Sin
The message discusses five points in regards to what sin is and how it can affect our relationship with God. It also emphasizes the importance of overcoming sin.
