“I am the Lord, that is My name. My glory I will not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” There is no ambiguity here. It is clear that God will not tolerate the worship of images. But do crosses, crucifixes, or icons violate God’s commandment?

Is a picture ever wrong? We need to understand God’s commands prohibiting images meant to represent Him. People disobey this commandment daily, giving worship to a vast array of idols, carvings, pictures, and icons. What does God think of these images?

It’s in the nature of man to worship something, even deities made of wood and stone. But God makes it clear that He will not tolerate any idols. In this message we learn why the first commandment requires that nothing replaces God in our allegiance.

There is one area in which God tolerates no competition. He wants to be supreme in our lives, and He made that clear by writing on a tablet of stone the first of the Ten Commandments. It is commandment number one for a reason.

On earth, the law of gravity is immutable. God’s moral law has the same force. The commandments He gave to Moses define His character, and His expectations of our behavior. In this message we learn why God’s moral law shows us who we really are.

The great moral code God gave to Moses contains principles governing our relationships with God and with each other. That code shows us who we are, and more importantly, who God is. In this message we begin a series on The Ten Commandments.

Do you ever wonder what you’ll look like in eternity? Will others recognize you as you looked on earth? Believers are promised a glorious incorruptible body, and in this message we’ll explore what it will be like when we walk the streets of gold.

They say it’s always darkest just before the dawn. Knowing that a glorious eternal destiny awaits makes any believer’s present suffering worthwhile. In this message we learn about the final gift God gives to all who trust Christ.

Jesus told the disciples that as the good shepherd, He would protect His sheep. But even more, He would give His life for His sheep. This gives believers the security of knowing that, no matter what, they’re in the safe-keeping of the savior.

Many Christians debate the issue of eternal security:  can someone who has been saved ever be lost? The issue is highly contested even now. In this message we look at the words of Jesus about His role as the Good Shepherd, and the security this brings. 
August 30, 2017
Jesus was the perfect sacrifice that takes away sin forever. Because of this, we can stand before a holy God without fear. And even now Jesus stands before God as our mediator.
