Humility of Humanity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Key Verse: Philippians 2:1-11This message was spurred out of a question I was asked a few weeks ago.What effect has grace had on your life since you’ve been saved?We can get removed from our own story of where Jesus brought us. We know we’ve all sinned and we know everyone is a sinner, but somehow we think that’s referring to others instead of each other.Today let's look at Philippians 2:1-11The Apostle Paul is experiencing hardship but begins chapter 2 saying if there are any benefits in Christ
Ruth Part 4: Redefining Family (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Redefining Family In our sermon series on Ruth, we have seen a complex and textured story of a family that has experienced the unthinkable.

We’ll discuss work ethic and dignity. 1. A Certain Kind of Woman Ruth means friendship. We saw last week—and continue to see this week—that Ruth’s friendship fostered loyalty. Loyalty is staying true to vows that aren’t convenient. Loyalty is staying the course when you have the chance to leave. S
Ruth Part 1: Coming Back Changed (opens the original)

Pastor Eric Burton | Sunday, August 9, 2026 Key Scripture: Ruth 1:1–5, 13, 20–22; 1 Corinthians 15:20 A Little Context for the Book of Ruth Ruth is significant because it is the first book of the Bible named after a woman. Ruth is not Jewish, and at the beginning she is not yet a worshiper of God. The story takes place during the time of the judges, when God raised up men and women to confront Israel’s sin.
