By Faith
Our “Heroes of Faith” series concludes this week with a survey of Hebrews 11. Each of these significant characters of the Bible is a person just like us, and their faith allows God to work through them in amazing ways. What can God do with your faith?
Lost and Found
We close out our Parables series with three parables from Luke that teach how much God cares for the lost and what he looks for in us.

Onesimus
Onesimus is an unlikely hero, especially since it seems like everyone around him has the power to change his life. He is caught in the middle between Paul who values him as a brother and Philemon who is likely upset with his runaway slave. In his story we see the conflict between cultural norms and […]
The Dishonest Manager
It’s unusual to have a parable where someone is described as dishonest and later commended for his actions. This parable from Luke 16 uses unusual circumstances to teach us about how to handle conflict and understand the plight of others.
Jesus and Saul
Howard Norton has spent his life furthering the gospel and strengthening the church through his work in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Brazil and other places around the world. He spent years as the editor of the Christian Chronicle as well as working with Oklahoma Christian University and Harding University. We are blessed to have him with […]
Lessons of Faith
This summer seven of our young men had the opportunity to attend preacher training camps. They learned about faith and how people of God displayed faith in scripture. Be blessed as they share the lessons of faith they prepared.
The Kingdom
In Matthew 13, there are several parables dealing with the kingdom of heaven. These parables build up to the three we look at this week that emphasize the value of the kingdom and the need to be a part of it. It’s for that reason that we share the message with others.
Jesus and the Boy With an Unclean Spirit
Layne Heitz from Durant is with us this week for our Encountering Jesus guest speaker series. Layne talks about the time Jesus healed a boy with an unclean spirit in Mark 9 and the example of faith we can learn from the encounter.
Epaphroditus – An Unstoppable Partner
As we prepare to begin a new school year, our youth minister, John Marble, shares this lesson about a character in scripture that may not be familiar to some. This story is a great example of how God can use average people to make an impact.
The Tenants
In another parable dealing with a vineyard, we learn about how people struggle with authority. More importantly we see that God loves us so much that He keeps giving us opportunities to make our relationship right with Him.
