by Elder John Morgan Owens (preached on March 17, 2024) In this sermon, Elder John Morgan Owens begins a “loose series” about some legal concepts that appear in Scripture.

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on April 21, 2024) As we began to see yesterday, Paul saw himself as a broken, undone sinner who daily struggled to do right. Paul seems to be saying that, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t quite make it to the level of godly living that he…
