Pursuing Forgiveness

In the first two sermons of this series on forgiveness, evangelist Nate Bibens made a case that Biblical forgiveness must be relational in nature; that the goal of forgiveness is restorative. As such, forgiveness is a journey that takes effort and time. In this lesson, Nate discusses this path and the importance of pursuing forgiveness!

God Our Refuge (Psalm 46)

In this sermon from an ongoing series on the Psalms, evangelist Nate Bibens teaches on Psalm 46. This Psalm reminds God’s people of who the Lord is and why we can place our confidence entirely in Him.

Overcoming Temptation

Life is filled with temptations, but God’s Word helps prepare us to confront and overcome those temptations. Elder James Smith provides this helpful lesson from James 1:12-15 to offer some powerful and practical guidance on overcoming temptation!

Forgiving Like God

In this sermon (part 2 of a series on forgiveness), evangelist Nate Bibens builds upon the principle that Christians are commanded to forgive others as God has forgiven them. He considers important differences between humans and God but also notes the ways in which we can forgive like God forgives!

Marvelously Helped (The Sin of Pride)

Pride is one of the most pervasive of all sins. From the least to the greatest, we all struggle with pride in one form or another. In this sermon, elder James Smith considers the example of King Uzziah of Judah to demonstrate the great dangers of pride and to help us learn how to detect and overcome this dangerous sin

What is Forgiveness?

Christians are commanded to forgive, but what does forgiveness look like? How do we forgive? What does it mean to forgive? In this sermon, evangelist Nate Bibens begins with the New Testament command to forgive as God forgives (cf. Eph. 4:32 and Col. 3:13) and considers what the Bible reveals about how and why God forgives. Comparing God’s method and purpose of forgiveness can help us see problems with modern approaches to defining forgiveness. The goal of this sermon is to help us appreciate God’s forgiveness and encourage us to practice such forgiveness in our own lives!

Introducing Jesus: Titles of Jesus in John 1

John’s gospel is well known for the unique way he opens his account. Instead of birth narratives, John takes readers back to eternity before time began! But that isn’t the only distinctive feature of John’s opening chapter. Throughout John 1, the beloved disciple skillfully weaves several titles of Jesus into the story, introducing us naturally, subtly, yet powerful to King Jesus!
