First Things FIRST - Series


Seek First His Kingdom
Randy Roper

Jesus used the word "first" to express a sense of urgency and priority with his teachings. This series looks at matters of "first" importance by Jesus in Matthew's Gospel.

First Go And Reconcile
Kent Risley

Many of us come prepared to worship God. But as Jesus points out, there may be a conflict with another person that needs to be handled first.

First Remove The Plank
Randy Roper

Jesus uses his words to paint an absurd, cartoonish picture of what it looks like when we point out the sin of others before coming to terms with our own sinfulness.

The First Will Be Last
Kent Risley

Consider others.

The First And Greatest Command
Randy Roper

Many of our biggest problems might just be heart problems. If Jesus were to give you a spiritual heart scan, what would he see?

Christ And Culture - Series



Understanding And Responding to the Culture
Randy Roper


First message in "Christ & Culture" series.
The men of Issachar understood the times and knew what Israel should do (1 Chron. 12:32). The Church today would be well-served to understand the times so we can know what to do to engage our culture for the cause of Christ.

“Responding to Governing Authorities”
Josh Kingcade

Josh has served the Memorial Road church in Edmond as Education Minister since June 2008. He earned his B.A. and M.Div. at OC, where he has also served as an adjunct instructor, teaching courses primarily in Old Testament and ministry. He is currently enrolled in a Doctor of Educational Ministry program at Columbia Theological Seminary. Josh is interested in Christian education and formation, and enjoys exploring different ways to effectively form disciples of Jesus Christ. Josh is married to Aubrey (daughter of Mark and Nancy Stansberry), and they have three children: Mariah, Jayden, and Myles.

Marriage And Sexual Ethics
Randy Roper

In many ways, our culture has written its own rules when it comes to love, marriage and sex. But as believers, we acknowledge God's design when it comes to these important areas of life.   

The Voice of the Culture (Media)
Jeremie Beller

How does the prevailing culture try to shape ideas and worldviews? The voice of the culture is media. How should the Church respond to the 'voice' of our culture?

Christ and Culture Panel Discussion
Josh, Kingcade, Jeremie Beller, and Randy Roper

Guest speakers in the special series discuss relevant topics and practical implications of Christ and culture.

From Reservation to Resolve

From Reservation to Resolve
Randy Roper
Original message was in three parts, integrated with songs, focused on the classic "doubt" story in John 20.


Jeremiah: Fire & Faith



I Put My Words in Your Mouth
Randy Roper
In this first message in our series on Jeremiah, Randy looks at the commissioning of the prophet Jeremiah. God gave him a message to proclaim.


Living Water and Broken Cisterns
Kent Risley
 Message #2 in series on Jeremiah


Return to Me
Randy Roper
 Message #3 in series on Jeremiah. Repentance is more than good intentions and the right words; it is a genuine change of one's heart and life.


I Have Been Watching
Randy Roper
 Text: Jeremiah 7 Topic: When it comes to faithfulness, having the "look" is no substitute for living the life.

In These I Delight
Kent Risley
 Jeremiah 9:23-26 Righteousness is not accomplished by us; it is provided to us by God through Christ.

The Plans I Have for You
Randy Roper


Jeremiah 29:11 is often plucked out of context and misapplied to an individual life of prosperity. What does God's promise of a plan for prosperity, hope, and a future really mean in the biblical context?

Next Week's Message - I Will Make A New Covenant
Kent Risley


Jeremiah 31
