Know Your Family Sermon Series
Sermon Title: The Inerrancy of the Bible
Main Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:12-17

As we continue our sermon series, we will take up the four pillars of our church, our essential doctrines. All are equally important, but we will begin with the inerrancy of the Bible.

The One Another Commands of the Bible
Sermon Title: Don’t Slander One Another
Main Scripture: James 4:11-12

Sometimes gossip is disguised as "concern" for a brother or sister in church. But in reality, it's speaking evil of others and it harms our relationships with one another and does not please the Lord. What will it take for us to make building each other up the default way we treat each other, instead of tearing each other down?

The One Another Commands of the Bible
Sermon Title: Submit to One Another Out of the Fear of Christ
Main Scripture: Ephesians 5:18-21

To “submit” is often seen as an act of weakness and inferiority. But the Bible reveals a way of submission among Christians that both empowers and frees, and none other than our Lord Jesus Christ powerfully demonstrated how and why it works. Let us look at what the Bible says about submitting to one another.
