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 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.

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.

In this installment of our Old Testament survey we will examine the Primeval and Patriarchal Periods of the Old Testament. From Adam to Judah, the redemption plan begins to unfold. The beginning of the OT story reveals God to be merciful from the very beginning as he carves out a people for Himself from the universe He created.

An examination of Period #3 in the Old Testament history- Egypt and the Exodus.

During the sixth period of our Old Testament Period we take time to study the United Kingdom which includes the reigns of Saul, David, and Solomon. We also examine such characters as Samuel and Jonathan.

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.

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!

During this period of our Old Testament Survey we study the Israelite conquest of their promised land and the next 400 years where the land was ruled and led by judges who were raised up by God in Israel's need. This is a troubling time in the Biblical narrative, but one that shows how clearly man needs God and His leadership. 

This fourth installment of the Old Testament Survey examines the Israelites as they wonder the desert before they enter the Promise Land. This entails the giving of the law, the Tabernacle, and a nation being lead by the Spirit of God.

PowerPoint notes for the Introduction to the Old Testament Survey midweek series.

  Chris Zillman examines the doorways and avenues God presents before each person in life. We all make decisions to either walk though them or walk past them. We may never know the consequences of such decisions. Therefore, we must decide carefully what doorway or avenue God is presenting before us today. 

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.

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.
