This sermon is from the semi-congregational worship service held on January 20, 2008.

In this sermon by Chris Zillman the notion of dealing with our mistakes in a way that is honorable and right is discussed. David was a man after god’s own heart, yet David had several fatal flaws for which he and his family suffered. Part of his life is spent owning up to his mistakes and making it right. We have much to learn from Israel’s most famous king.

While their is no universal answer to this question it would be a mistake to therefore stop pursuing it. This question is difficult because it is emotional and controversial, yet it is something about which every Christian needs to have some personal conviction.

A sermon by Chris Zillman. We become used to certain questions to the point that they have become void of actual meaning. Yet some of these questions, though perhaps not academically profound, are the most important. “Do you love me?” “Will you follow me?” We must be wary of allowing hearts or minds to become disconnected from their answers.

A look at some popular conceptions that are theologically false. We will also trace some of their origins.

A sermon given by Chris Zillman that discusses the importance of doing the right thing regardless of its consequences. We must be willing to choose what is right over what is easy and understand that this decision isn't always one of morality, but more often is a decision dictated by our actual love for God.

A look into one of our core doctrines as examined against scripture, tradition, reason, and experience.

Chris Zillman asserts that we must learn to suspend our assumptions about life when we base those assumptions strictly upon what we see. God has opened the eyes to many people in the Bible only to reveal that what people thought and assumed, based upon what they saw, was incorrect. One can never discount the variable that is God, and one can never assume they know what God will do.

In this lesson, Chris Zillman explains how grace has been robbed of much of its meaning. It lives in our country without proper context and without proper respect. In many circles it has been cheapened and the sacrifice through which it came has therefore also been cheapened. We must allow grace to be the fuel which moves us from day to day, in order to achieve this we must reestablish its meaning and importance.

An interesting aspect to the human heart is our strong inclination for exploration. We love to explore. One of the realms yet wide open for exploration is the personality of God, and who he is. In this sermon, Chris Zillman endeavors to explore what God desires and the consequences of this knowledge.

There is power in questions, and in asking the right questions. In this sermon, Chris Zillman asks that we take time to think about a question; “What moves you?” Jesus came to change the heart of people in their every endeavor toward God, and this began with examining what moves a person to follow God. We examine this question against the backdrop of Jesus clearing the temple and Lazarus raising from the dead.

In this last installment of our OT survey we examine the Southern Kingdom in exile under the Babylonians, the Persians, the Greeks and finally the Romans. This final chapter of the survey shows that God was laying the final framework for the coming of the Messiah!

Anthony Testa teaches the church about what it means to have "intent", and how we apply this to our love for God. We must first learn how much God loves us, then we have to understand what God says it means to love Him- this is often different than what we think it means to love Him.

During the seventh period of the Old Testament history we look at the conflict the forever divided Israel into the Northern and Southern Kingdom, what happened as a result, and what it meant for Israel's future.

In this installment of our Old Testament Survey we see the end of an independent Jewish Kingdom. God carries out his final punishment against Judah and allows the Babylonian Empire to conquer and exile the remaining Jewish population.
