A message from the series “Parenting Class.” In the summer of 2022, Pastors Shawn Merithew and Jon English Lee taught a class on parenting at Morningview Baptist Church, Montgomery, AL.
This is class one, “God’s Design for the Family.”

A message from the series “Sermons.” In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 12:4-7, Pastor Jon English explains 7 observations about the spiritual gifts, as well as 7 dangers that are present for believers.

A message from the series “Sermons.” Trials and hurt can cause us to go from being people full of compassion to people who are cynical, hardened, and even vindictive. We tend to become very calloused toward those who have harmed us and indifferent to those in need. BUT NOT CHRIST! NOT EVER! Even if you have wronged Him, He has compassion. The invitation to be sheltered beneath His wings is for anyone who repents and believes in Him, even “religious” people who have continually spurned His love.

A message from the series “Sermons.” Pastor Jordan gives us an overview of the book of Galatians and its central theme of Justification by Faith in Christ Alone.

A message from the series “Sermons.” People fail to realize that there is an expiration date on the offer of salvation – when it comes, you don’t get a second more. The same One who has opened the door of salvation and who stands with open arms saying, “Come unto me all you who are weary and heavy-laden. . .” is also the One who is going to shut the door tight. In this passage from Luke, we have Jesus speaking in very clear terms of the nature of the kingdom, the exclusivity of the Gospel, and how the first shall be last.

A message from the series “Sermons.” In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 12:1-3, Pastor Jon English explains the danger of false religion, the ministry of the Holy Spirit to confirm prior revelation, and the nature of true spirituality.

A message from the series “Sermons.” By the time of Christ, the Jewish religious leaders had developed so many laws governing activity on the Sabbath that the day had become anything but a day of rest. In this passage, we have Jesus healing a woman who had suffered an affliction from a demon for 18 years, and the synagogue ruler became indignant with Jesus. From their exchange, we learn again about our spiritual need, our Savior’s compassion, the danger of legalism, and God’s true heart for the Sabbath.

A message from the series “Sermons.” Minister of Worship and Outreach Trey Head begins a sermon series on the book of James. In this sermon from James 1:1-4, he preaches on the topic of Christians finding joy in Christ through all forms of suffering and trials.

A message from the series “Sermons.” By this point in His ministry, the people believed Jesus to be a miracle-working itinerant rabbi, maybe even the Messiah. He certainly spoke with authority in a way that none of their other teachers did. So it makes sense that they would want His perspective on major news of the day. What we see in this text is how Jesus would take such questions and use them to not only correct people’s bad theology, but most importantly to turn their attention to man’s greatest need.
