Paul’s Preaching
Aaron Erhardt
April 28, 2026
We need preachers who will call sin “sin”. Men with the courage to address the pressing moral issues of our day like abortion and homosexuality; and the ignored sins in society like divorce, foul language, and immodest apparel. Men who will be truth-tellers rather than ear-ticklers.

A Proper Perspective of Mary
Aaron Erhardt

Transubstantiation
Aaron Erhardt

Broken Beauty

The Sinner’s Prayer
Aaron Erhardt

A Father’s Love

The Thief on the Cross
Aaron Erhardt
October 21, 2025
The penitent thief is a remarkable story of salvation. However, he lived under different circumstances than we do. We must look at the new covenant for how one is saved today (Acts2:38; Rom. 6:3-5; 1 Pet. 3:21).

A Meaningful Life
Aaron Erhardt
September 9, 2025
We give our lives to pursuing goals that would have little value if we ever succeeded in reaching them. And that is really what Ecclesiastes is trying to convey. A meaningful life is a Master-full life!
The “Broken” Body
Aaron Erhardt
September 2, 2025

Take the Plunge
Aaron Erhardt

The High Cost of a Free Gift
Aaron Erhardt
July 8, 2025

Baptism and Forgiveness
Aaron Erhardt
May 20, 2025

Parachute of Truth
Aaron Erhardt
May 13, 2025
