There’s Something in a Name

MALACHI SERIES - THUMBNAIL 1.jpg

Death is a sobering subject that we all must grapple with at some point in this life. The Bible is very clear that our souls are eternal, and we are all destined for only one of two places after death. Some will go to everlasting life and some to everlasting punishment (Matthew 25:46). In this sermon, Pastor Russ sheds light on the clear path to these two eternal destinations as explained in the scriptures.

The Working Clothes of Worship

MALACHI SERIES - THUMBNAIL 1.jpg

The Bible has much to say about the power of words and how, as Christians, our speech should be gracious (Col. 4:6), wholesome (Titus 2:8), and edifying (Eph. 4:29). However, God’s word also reveals the extreme danger of the tongue that has the potential to utterly corrupt our lives (James 3:6) and crush spirits (Prov 15:4). This sermon series gives practical guidance from God’s word on taming our tongues and reveals the seriousness of our words since men will be called to account for every careless word (Matt. 12:36).
