The Danger of Borrowed Faith - DJ Dickerson - 7/12/26

Q&A: “What is the Sin Leading to Death?” - DJ Dickerson - 7/19/26

What did the apostle John mean when he wrote about "a sin leading to death" in 1 John 5:16-17? Is there a specific sin that God will not forgive? Why does John encourage prayer for one sinner but not another? In this installment of the Asking for a Friend series, we examine this often-misunderstood passage in its context, exploring the difference between sins committed by those who continue to abide in Christ and the danger of persistent, unrepentant rejection of Him. Join us as we discover the assurance, warning, and hope found in John's inspired message.

Truth That Transforms: How Does God Authorize? - DJ Dickerson

How do we know what God approves, commands, and expects of His people? In lesson 6 of Truth That Transforms, we explore the authority of Jesus Christ and discover how God communicates His will through His revealed Word. We examine direct commands, approved examples, and necessary conclusions, while learning why God's silence matters and how to distinguish between generic and specific authority. Most importantly, this lesson reminds us that biblical authority is not about winning arguments—it is about trusting Christ enough to submit to His will.

The Danger of Borrowed Faith - DJ Dickerson - 7/12/26

In this sermon, we study the life of Joash, the boy king of Judah, and the sobering lesson his life teaches about borrowed faith. Joash began well under the guidance of Jehoiada the priest, even helping repair the house of the Lord. But when that godly influence was gone, his heart turned away from God. This lesson reminds us that godly influence is a blessing, but every person must develop a faith that is truly their own and remain faithful to the Lord until the end.

Truth That Transforms: How Should We Study the Bible? - DJ Dickerson

How should we approach the Bible so that we handle God’s Word correctly? In this fifth lesson of the Truth That Transforms series, we examine the importance of studying Scripture with humility, context, diligence, and obedience. We consider how to identify the speaker, audience, and covenant, distinguish what the Bible describes from what it commands, and allow Scripture to explain Scripture. God’s Word is not given simply to inform us, but to transform us as we rightly understand and faithfully obey it.

When the Mighty Must Bow - DJ Dickerson - 7/5/26

Naaman was a mighty commander, respected by kings and feared by enemies—but he could not heal himself. In this lesson from 2 Kings 5, we explore how a little servant girl pointed him toward hope, how pride nearly kept him from cleansing, and how humble obedience led him to acknowledge the one true God. Naaman’s account reminds us that no one is too great to need God, no one is too small to be used by God, and faith must be willing to bow before His word.
