Dillon Hall, a senior Bible major from Central Baptist College, was here representing the school for our CBC Day. He shared a message from God’s Word in Galatians 2 about three key truths in regard to compromising our faith.1. We are not supposed to compromise our beliefs; instead, we are to stand firm in them—stand…
We will begin our study today when Jesus gathered His disciples together in the upper room of a home in Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover Seder meal. This was the time when Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper, which we observed as a church body last Sunday evening. During this meal, Jesus shared some important teachings…
In John 12, we see Jesus as the King God intended Him to be—not like other kings who came and conquered by military might, but as the Ruler of a Kingdom that is not of this world. He was like no other king before or since—a king who preached love for our enemies, forgiveness for…
In the second half of Psalm 101, David lays out the kind of leader that he aspires to become—a leader with integrity. Just like last week, we see in these verses, five issues of integrity that are important when it comes to life in general and in leadership more specifically. David had a front row…
After a psalm of praise (Psalm 100), we now have a psalm of practice (Psalm 101). Knowing and understanding God’s call on his life to be the king of God’s chosen people, David resolves to become a king that models himself after the One who has called him. Psalm 101 describes a man of integrity…

This passage… is written to people who are in exile who are now called to remember as they are going to be restore, called to remember…
One of the more well-known verses in the Bible is found in 2 Corinthians 5:7, which says, “for we walk by faith, not by sight.” In Numbers 13-14, we find a group of people who abandoned this biblical concept for a different philosophy. You see, they decided to walk by sight, and not by faith!…
In this morning’s message we will be looking at some of Moses’ experiences with the presence of God, specifically the burning bush incident and the encounters with God in the tent of meeting. From these passages, we will notice three essentials for experiencing intimacy with God—connection, commitment and communication. And then we will consider God’s…
Today, we will be considering what you may consider an unusual topic in the area of pursuing God. Today, we will be thinking about embracing our weaknesses for God’s purpose in my life.
