The Useful Law: The Christological Use

In this sermon we consider the first use of the law: an instrument leading us to Christ. The law is a powerful evangelistic tool, driving both believer and non-believer to Jesus Christ.

More Than A Gathering

In this sermon Pastor Tim explains how the church must gather but that the church is more than a gathering. We consider what it means to be a body of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. Gathering is essential to the church, but the church is more than a gathering. We pray that this sermon sheds light on the nature of the church and encourages your soul. If nothing else, it will explain why our family of faith continues to…
