For 2000 years, the Church has repeatedly tended to slide off the highway of holiness into one of two theological ditches:
Legalism (a misuse of the Law) and License (a misuse of Grace). The peril of the last generation was legalism. But this generation is facing the serious error of the other extreme:
a "hyper-grace" message that teaches God's grace has done away with God's law. If we are to "earnestly contend for the faith once and for all delivered to the saints", we're going to have to go back to the Bible to discover the law's place in an age of grace!

The Sermon on the Mount
December 31, 2016 • Pastor Ray McCollum
We kick off the New Year in a big way as we introduce the verse-by-verse study of the Sermon on the Mount, (Matthew 5-6 & 7), which will be our theme for the next 6 months. The series is called "The Normal Christian Life", the life Jesus intends for every child of God to live. Prepare to be amazed and transformed by what He has to say!
The Word Became Flesh
December 17, 2016 • Pastor Ray McCollum
Dorothy Sayers, a close friend of the great C.S. Lewis, once said: "The incarnation is the most dramatic thing about Christianity; and indeed, the most dramatic thing that ever entered the mind of man." But in recent years, the busyness of the Christmas season has tended to smother out our appreciation of the amazing account of the God who "became flesh" and the practical implications it has for how we live our lives today.
