Are You Meek?

The meek will inherit the earth; those who are not meek will not. The word “meek” is only found three times in the New Testament yet it deserves top priority. Can you define it accurately? This sermon defines it for us plus gives us the story of the most meek man in the Old Testament.

Given by Greg Sargent
December 30, 2023

We find the word “mystery” over 20 times in the New Testament. Many of these mysteries are linked together. A closer look reveals the Mystery of Righteousness and the Mystery of Iniquity.

Given by Greg Sargent
November 18, 2023

The world cannot understand why God allows so many seemingly innocent civilians to die—whether it be the 38 million in WWII or recent bystanders in more recent conflicts.

Given by Greg Sargent
August 12, 2023

Jesus Christ taught the disciples to pray which means to ask. However, his instructions on praying didn’t begin with asking. Jesus told them to hallow God’s name. What does “hallow” mean? Why should we always hallow God’s name?

The righteousness by Christ in us that Satan strives to destroy is our key to holding fast God’s Word. Study God’s Word, prove what we are taught, hold fast to the truth. But…never forget that disobedience to God’s law will take away our understanding.

Given by Greg Sargent
July 22, 2023

The trial of our faith (1 Peter 1:7): which is more precious than gold that perishes—the trial or our faith? It’s faith in God’s promises in this life and the next that takes us through the trials of this life. Forgetting and lacking faith in God’s benefits will cause us to quit.
