When we think of the Bible's heroes of faith, Jephthah is not the first guy that leaps to our minds, is he? If you only remember one thing about Jephthah, it is almost certainly a bad thing (and we'll talk about that); but he is listed in the "hall of faith" for a reason, so let's talk about that, too! Jephthah was an unlikely hero, and a flawed on…

Following up on last Sunday's message about personal evangelism, we take a look at some sobering words from the New Testament about perhaps the most important thing we can do in terms of helping someone else come to faith in Jesus Christ.

Many times we have heard it said that one of the biggest mistakes we can make is to seek God's hand rather than seek His face.

When we talk about the importance of faith in our lives, we often focus on two things: RECEIVING by faith, and DOING by faith. And the great "hall of faith" in Hebrews 11 offers us examples of both of those things. But the word of God tells us, "the just shall LIVE by faith". Let's take a closer look at that, and at the tragic story of a faith hero…

God loves us and desires that we enjoy the blessed life He has promised and provided, but the truth is, we have a tendency to let our guard down when life is good.
