They Soon Forgat His Works

In this message, Brother Phillip Herr teaches from Exodus, Psalms, and Deuteronomy on the children of Israel's journey from Egypt through the wilderness, highlighting their repeated pattern of witnessing miracles, rejoicing, then quickly murmuring and forgetting God's deliverance. He contrasts their dramatic highs—such as the Red Sea crossing and receiving the Ten Commandments—with lows like complaining over bitter water and food, and the golden calf idolatry, showing how a short memory led to disobedience despite God's constant provision and presence. This sermon calls believers to remember God's past faithfulness, benefits, and chastening during hard times, so we obey His commands, avoid murmuring, and walk in steadfast trust rather than repeating Israel's cycle of spiritual ups and downs.

How Much Do We Care About Truth?

In this message, Pastor Mark Bullen teaches from 1 Timothy 3:8–4:8 on the qualifications for deacons and the church's role as the pillar and ground of the truth, emphasizing the need for honorable, honest leaders who hold to sound doctrine without double-mindedness or worldly excesses. He stresses that the church must actively steward biblical truth through pure doctrine, godly leadership, and faithful practice rather than relying on fables, human traditions, or false piety, and warns against departing to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. This sermon calls believers to value truth highly, avoid compromise or itching-ear teachings, and maintain the church's commitment to apostolic faith as its foundation.

What Will You Do With Jesus?

In this message, Brother Phillip Herr explores humanity's fallen nature by contrasting God's perfect creation and provision in Eden—where Adam and Eve enjoyed dominion, companionship, and abundance with only one prohibition—with humanity's choice to rebel by eating from the forbidden tree, leading to sin and rejection of God. It examines the crucifixion through Pilate's failed attempts to release the innocent Jesus, the religious leaders' envy and insistence on his death, and broader biblical patterns of rejecting God's rule in favor of worldly ways, culminating in a call to personal decision: what will you do with Jesus?

Father's Day 2026 - I Timothy 2

In this message, Brother Mark Bullen preaches from I Timothy on the requirements and duties of a bishop, and the respect and duty owed to such a position and role by those under him in the church. These important principles - when followed - can prevent much trouble and turmoil, and inroads of the devil, in the church today,

Not One Hoof!

In this message, Brother Nathan Bullen delivers a strong call for complete, uncompromising dedication to God, illustrating that true freedom from the bondage of sin requires a total departure from the world. He exposes how the enemy attempts to negotiate boundaries and offer partial compromises to keep believers bound or stagnant in their faith. Ultimately, he declares that "not one hoof shall be left behind" means holding nothing back, joyfully giving everything we have to Jesus, and establishing healthy, holy boundaries.

Good Warfare? Or Shipwreck?

In this message, Brother Mark warns the congregation against the dangers of "shipwrecking" their faith by swerving from the uncorrupted pattern of sound words, reminding believers that salvation is a continuous walk of probation on the narrow road that requires ongoing justification through Christ, our heavenly High Priest. He emphasizes that the primary priority of the church is to engage in sincere, honest prayer for all men and governing authorities, creating an environment where the body of Christ can actively evangelize without provoking unnecessary persecution or falling into isolation. Finally, he outlines practical instructions for maintaining godly order in the public assembly, calling for the brethren to be united in a single, fervent purpose and for women to reflect reverence and true scriptural modesty in their lifestyle and apparel.

The Friend Of God

In this message, Pastor Mark Bullen discusses the biblical concept of becoming a friend of God. He begins with the account in 2 Samuel 21, where Abishai protects aging King David from a Philistine giant, and connects it to Onesiphorus, who searched for and refreshed the imprisoned Apostle Paul. These examples illustrate attentive friendship that recognizes need and responds with action. The central point of the message focuses on Abraham, described in Scripture as “the friend of God” for believing God, obeying His commands, and seeking the heavenly city instead of earthly comforts. God blessed Abraham and his descendants as a result and was not ashamed to be called their God. Brother Mark explains that God values those who pay attention to Him, align with His ways, and walk in faith and obedience in a time when many overlook the Creator.

God's Law Used Lawfully

In this message, Brother Mark teaches from 1 Timothy 1:5–16 that God's law is good when used lawfully — meaning applied toward its intended goal of genuine charity from a pure heart. He challenges the common misreading that Christ replaced the law, arguing that "end" means goal, not termination. Using Saul of Tarsus as a warning, he emphasizes that zeal without God's mind on the purpose of the law leads to misapplication, and that human attempts to improve upon or go beyond what God prescribed always come at someone else's expense.

Divorce and Remarriage: How Not To Test Positive For Willful Ignorance

In this sermon, Pastor Mark Bullen shows that Jesus fulfills (does and teaches) God's Moral Law rather than abolishing it, particularly as shown in His words on marriage in Matthew 5 and 19. Brother Mark explains that God joins husband and wife as one flesh; under God's law divorce is permitted for immorality, not as a broad concession. Brother Mark warns against misreadings that create contradictions between Jesus and Moses, stressing continuity in God's unchanging ethic (supported by Malachi, Luke 16, and Romans 7). He urges anchoring in Scripture to avoid willful ignorance on this topic.

Just Kill That Fly!

In this message, Brother Nathan Bullen challenges believers to stop tolerating persistent sin and spiritual strongholds in their lives. Rather than ignoring, minimizing, or learning to coexist with the problem Brother Nathan urges us to rise up, confront the issue directly, and deal with it decisively through genuine repentance, obedience, and reliance on the Holy Spirit.
