Are You Virtue Signaling in Your Spiritual Life? – Mark Sappington – March 29, 2025

In today’s hypocritical society, an empty appearance of virtue and righteousness is equated with actual virtue and righteousness. This empty appearance is referred to as “virtue signaling” which allows convenient vacuous words and slogans to reflect virtue and righteousness instead of the actual actions which are virtuous and righteous. Our Heavenly Father requires virtuous and righteous actions and not just convenient passive words in our daily lives. Are you virtue signaling in your spiritual life?

Communication and the Heart – Scott Hoefker – March 22, 2025

Scripture speaks of the Mind and the Heart. The Word that became Jesus Christ is the great Communicator. What can we learn from His example during His earthly ministry in our communication as God’s children?

Haggai – Passover, Cleansing, and Blessing – Scott Hoefker – March 8, 2025

The Book of Haggai talks about a blessing that is for the whole world. There is something within this book that can help us understand Christ’s sacrifice, His leadership, and blessing much deeper if we’ll just look closer.

Mardi Gras – Should We Participate? – Joe Myers – March 1, 2025

Should we participate in the late winter early spring celebration of Mardi Gras? To answer this question, we examine the origin of its celebration in the United States and trace the roots of it back to early church history after the death of the original apostles to find that it has no basis in scripture or in what was taught by the first century church. We find that it is related to pagan festivals and practices that God condemns in scripture.

Bartimaeus, the Blind Beggar – Scott Hoefker – February 22, 2025

Embedded within God’s Word is a rather obscure person, with very little written about, that we can glean some profound spiritual lessons from.

Is Heaven or Hell in Our Future? – Eric Myers – February 15, 2025

Many Christians believe that they will go to heaven when they die. Sometimes they wonder about loved ones who are not Christians going to hell. What does the Bible teach on these ideas? Does mankind have an immortal soul that can be punished in hell fire or admitted to heavenly bliss?

How Do Your Prayers Smell? – Scott Hoefker – February 8, 2025

God’s Word describes our prayers in the form of a sweet incense to His nostrils. David stated, “Let my prayer be to you as incense.” What exactly does that mean? We’ll carefully examine in detail and see how important it is which odor our prayer gives off to our Creator, and ask ourselves, “How do my prayers smell?”

Lest We Forget – Joe Myers – February 1, 2025

The Israelites were warned “lest they forget” the great covenant they had made with God by Moses in the book of Deuteronomy. Similarly, we are warned in the new covenant not to “forget” the things we have been taught from heaven. We examine old and new testament scriptures to help us always remember our new covenant with God the Father and Jesus Christ.
