A warning for Christians, by Pastor Matt Trewhella (a short video)

This warning from Pastor Matt Trewhella is spot-on. I am thankful for the Coronavirus as the Lord used it to separate the sheep from the goats. As I recently preached in this sermon, our local churches across America are full of “spiritually neutered” men, and a “castrated Christendom.” And regarding “persecution?” Lord, let Your will

The Phoebe phenomenon – what kind of Deacon was she?

I wish professing Christians would stop using the mention of Phoebe to wrongfully justify their unbiblical installations of female Deacons. When the Apostle Paul called Phoebe a “deacon” in Romans 16:1, he was not referring to, nor calling her by a title or office. The word “deacon” in Romans 16:1 is the Greek word diakonos, which means

An exposition of Psalm 110, by Bill Rhetts

The theme of this Psalm is ‘The Announcement of the Messiah’s Reign.’ Generally speaking, it is one of the Royal Psalms, but more specifically it is a Prophetic Messianic Psalm. It is rich in Theology, Christology and Divinity. This Psalm and the Psalmist look forward to Christ, as we too should look forward to His

An Exposition of Psalm 96, by Bill Rhetts

If it’s God’s will, He will change their minds. And if I’m wrong, then perhaps He’ll change mine. If you disagree with me,

How to pick up a mooring at Catalina Island

If there are no small craft advisories next week, and the marine weather is reasonable, a brother from church and I will be going to the Santa Catalina Islands. We’ll be going to enjoy a nice meal and talk about a possible prolific ministry endeavor. Who knows, we might even put a pole in the

Hosting Communion from Psalm 22, by Bill Rhetts

Throughout the month of April, while our other Pastor preached the main sermons (we switched off), I hosted communion. But I decided to use this opportunity to do brief teachings on a specific passage, as well as disclose a particular doctrine that we can gleam from either the Text, or from what Christ accomplished on

County health Administer speaks out against masks and lockdowns

I give this fellow a big hearty amen. He used the word that I’ve been using for a long time “control,” because it’s all about control and conditioning. I am sad for the many politically correct people that have allowed themselves to be a slave to their puppet master. Instead, Christians must be a δούλος
