Dear OBC Family, I have to make a confession: When I started to prepare for this week’s sermon on Genesis 9:18–29, I didn’t think much of the passage. Or, at least, I didn’t quite know what to make of it. This last section about Noah does not have the same drama as the flood, it’s not that long, it’s something of a transition passage, and its curse…

Dear OBC Family, Looking back to the first century, there were many threats for the early church.

In Acts 13:1–3, the church in Antioch gathered to worship the Lord. And as they worshiped, the Holy Spirit identified Barnabas and Saul for missionary service.

Dear OBC Family, There's an old adage that goes something like this: "In order to get strong, you have to pick up something heavy." Lifting weights builds muscle, and resistance shapes our bodies and makes us stronger. The weight of God's glory likewise shapes us and strengthens us in ways that we can't do ourselves. This Sunday, we'll take a brief…
