Merlin MIller

The Good Portion

Merlin Miller shares a devotional message from Jesus' interaction with Martha and Mary in Luke 10:38-42. There are many things that take our time and attention, but this brief exchange shows us that there are some things that are most important. This message ties in to our theme of Back to the Basics, looks back at the challenge issued at the beginning of our quarantine time, and looks forward to when that time may end.

Glad For Weaknesses

Merlin Miller shares another devotional message from our time of separation due to Covid-19, this time from 2 Corinthians 12:9 titled Glad for weaknesses. Though none of us like things that reveal our weaknesses, the Bible exhorts us to take an “upside down” view of those things, realizing that God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness.

Foundations: Human Sexuality

Merlin Miller continues the Foundations series with a focus on human sexuality.  As with marriage and the home, according to Scripture there is a connection between the physical and what it represents on a grander scale.  Since this is an area of great importance in God’s Word, it is, not surprisingly, an area of great struggle in our culture.

Foundations: Personal Discipleship 02

Merlin Miller continues the Foundations series with a focus on personal discipleship.  After having covered some overarching principles in part 1, this second part now focuses on more specific details of what our lives should look like.  Since there is much in the Bible that talks about this the Word is given prominence.

Foundations: Marriage & Home

Merlin Miller continues the Foundations series with a focus on marriage and the home. We have our stances we take on marriage, but do we have Biblical reason to take them? What do our marriages really hope to accomplish? What does this mean about our homes & how we view them?

Foundations: Stewardship

Merlin Miller continues the Foundations series with a focus on stewardship.  What we say we believe about God and man, along with the Kingdom and last things affects how we view the things we have.  This position on stewardship includes how we spend our money and our time.

Foundations: The Local Church

Merlin Miller returns to the Foundations series - this sermon is a transition from working through the Statement of Theology to working through our Statement of Faith & Practice.  Specifically this introduces this document as the specific beliefs and applications this local congregation has adopted.

Foundations: Last Things

Merlin Miller wraps up the first section of the Foundations study with the subject of last things.  This is a high-level study of what Scripture says will happen as this current age ends and God’s glorious kingdom begins.

Foundations: Satan

Merlin Miller returns to the Foundations series, a study of our Statement of Theology.  The focus of this message is what we believe about Satan, the ancient serpent who deceives, tempts and oppresses in his rebellion against God.

Foundations: The Church

Merlin Miller continues the Foundations study - this week the topic is the church.  All who receive the gift of salvation become part of the church - but what does Scripture have to say about the church?  What do we believe about the church?
