Why Would I Want to be Saved?
by Cara Erickson on July 10th, 2025
This blog post explores the sobering yet hope-filled reality that the Bible teaches about eternity. It outlines the two possible outcomes after this life: eternity in Hell or eternity in Heaven. Hell is depicted in Scripture as a place of unending torment, where God’s holy wrath is fully poured out and residents experience both physical and mental anguish forever, knowing they rejected Christ as Lord. In contrast, Heaven is described as a place of unimaginable beauty and joy, where God dwells intimately with His people, wiping away all pain, mourning, and death, and making all things new. Ultimately, the post emphasizes that salvation is not merely about avoiding Hell or gaining Heaven, but about receiving God Himself – being welcomed into His presence to know, worship, and enjoy Him forever.  Read More
Sex, Lies, and Marriage
by Sermon Recap on July 7th, 2025
In Deuteronomy 22:13-30, we're challenged to consider the sacred nature of marriage and sexual purity. The passage reveals God's high standards for His people, emphasizing the seriousness of adultery and sexual immorality. We're reminded that marriage isn't just a human institution, but a divine reflection of God's covenant with His people. This perspective invites us to see our relationships through a spiritual lens, recognizing that how we honor our marriages directly impacts our relationship with God. The harsh consequences described in the Old Testament law highlight just how seriously God takes these matters. While we no longer stone adulterers, we're called to take sexual purity and marital faithfulness just as seriously in our modern context. This message encourages us to examine our own lives, relationships, and cultural attitudes towards sex and marriage, challenging us to align more closely with God's design and purpose.  Read More
