Authority of Scripture

The Bible is the inspired word of God and the final authority in all matters of faith and practice. Scripture alone defines doctrine, worship, morality, and church organization.

No Partiality in the Church

February 6, 2026

James exposes favoritism as a serious sin that contradicts faith in the Lord of glory. The church must not treat people as valuable based on wealth, appearance, or influence, because God shows no partiality. This sermon calls Christians to repent of worldly ranking and to fulfill the royal law by loving every neighbor with equal dignity.

Vanity vs. Endurance

February 6, 2026

Life is a mist, and Scripture is clear that living only for what is “under the sun” leads to emptiness and disappointment. Ecclesiastes exposes the vanity of a Godless life, while James shows how trials build endurance and maturity. This lesson calls us to stop chasing what fades and to find lasting purpose by fearing God and obeying His Word.

If you don’t like it, then why not change?

February 5, 2026

The prodigal son, starving among pigs, evaluated his misery, resolved to return home, and acted without delay—finding a compassionate father who restored him fully. This parable challenges believers: if sin, addiction, neglect, or complacency makes life miserable, why stay? Evaluate honestly, repent decisively, and reach out for help today—the Father waits to forgive and restore.

What I Need to Hear from God

February 4, 2026

We have not experienced that kind of famine. Today, we carry the Bible in our pockets. We can open a phone or a computer and read God’s word anytime. The Holy Spirit has given us the **completed revelation** in 66 books.

But imagine if every Bible—printed, digital, recorded—were suddenly gone. No access at all. At first, some might not notice. But eventually, we would ache for it.

We caught a glimpse of that hunger during the pandemic, when we could not gather. At first, it was manageable. But after weeks and months, many of us were starving and thirsty for fellowship, worship, and the word of God. We did whatever we had to do to come back together.

That is the kind of longing Amos describes.
