No students like to take tests, but they are important for many reasons.  God is a test-giver.  That is, He brings trials into the lives of believers to as test of faith.  Pastor Greg Smith explains what this means to believers and how we look at these tests in this third sermon from his First Peter series entitled "Living in Exile."

Believers are living in exile in this world because they have been 'Born Again' into the Kingdom of God.  What does this mean practically for a Christian?  Pastor Greg Smith shows how Peter lays out what we have in Christ and what it means to be 'Born Again.'

The introduction to Pastor Greg Smith's sermon series from First Peter, "Living in Exile."  Believers cannot get too comfortable in this world because they are not permanent residents here.  The Kingdom of God and Heaven is the true country that should command our allegiance. 

Eschatology is the study or theology of the end times.  A personal eschatology is the truth of what end is coming for each person.  In this final message from his series in the book of First Samuel, Pastor Greg Smith breaks down what is coming for every person, and the truth of Christ's victory over death and the grave.

One enduring truth from the book of First Samuel is that God's people are under and unending attack from the world.  Believers today experience the same attack as they walk with God.  Pastor Greg Smith shows what this means and how we should respond in this 39th sermon in his series from First Samuel.

Theology is what we believe and say about God.  For a believer, theology is not simply an academic exercise, it is a reality to be lived out.  Pastor Greg Smith gives a case study in this sermon on the Faithfulness of God.  What does it mean and how do we live out God's Faithfulness?

God speaks and we must take care to hear and do what God says.  When we fail to listen to God, or don't take His Word seriously, or disobey what we know God to say, we are muting God.  That is exactly what King Saul did which meant at the moment he was desperate to have a word from God, the LORD was silent.  Pastor Greg Smith's 37th sermon in his series from First Samuel.

The temptation to compromise your faith and live in the world rather than live for the Lord is a constant for most believers.  How can you defeat the temptation to compromise?  Pastor Greg Smith's 36th sermon in his series from the Old Testament book of First Samuel.

God made men to lead and protect their families.  On Father's Day, Pastor Greg Smith challenged us all, particularly men, to wake up and lead as the Lord directs.

It is foolish to disregard God's Word and live as if God doesn't count.  Pastor Greg Smith's 34th sermon in his series from First Samuel.
