Taking the Lord's Name in Vain

Deuteronomy 5:11

November 25, 2018 • Mark Dever • Deuteronomy 5:11

This morning we have the privilege of being served by Mark Dever. Mark is the senior pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington DC and the the author of numerous books. Mark is also the president of 9Marks, a ministry that exists to promote healthy churches. Today, Mark will discuss what it means to use the Lord's name in vain in Deuteronomy 5:11 and how we as Christians are called to be ambassadors for Christ in our words and actions during our daily lives.

Scripture Alone or Sacred Tradition?

October 27, 2024 • Pastor Adam Sinnett • 2 Timothy 3:16–17

On this Reformation Sunday, we are taking a break from our study in the Gospel of Luke to consider whether the Protestant Reformation is over. Sadly, the answer is “no.” The Reformation continues. The concerns raised with Catholicism remain largely unchanged, as it continues to spread a false gospel. So, how can we help? By standing firm on scripture alone (sola scriptura) as our God-breathed standard.

Persevering to the End

February 13, 2022 • Pastor David Parker • Hebrews 12:1–2

How we think about the last day of our lives has tremendous implications for the decisions we make every day, and the trajectory of our lives. This morning, we’re going to look at Hebrews 12:1-2, and explore how this passage admonishes us in how to persevere in the faith and make it to the end.

A Message for God's Messengers

January 2, 2022 • Tim Shao • Jeremiah 1:1–10

The Old Testament lays the foundations of God’s story of redemption. As God’s New Testament people today, the Old Testament is our family history. Today, we will look at the prophet Jeremiah, who was one of God’s messengers in the Old Testament. We will study how God called Jeremiah, and consider how we have more in common with him than we might think.
