Three Steps To Sainthood Series

Contributed by Peter Schmidt on Nov 17, 2003

The Roman Catholic Church has a 3-step process to being recognized as a saint. Daniel 12 shows the Bible’s 3 steps to sainthood. Saints aren’t extraordinary Christians who do miracles. Saints realize their sins, trust their Savior, and share their Savior!

Saints Triumphant Daniel 12:1-3 Maybe you have heard the buzz these days in the Catholic Church about saints and sainthood.

Christ Breaks Down The Dividing Walls

Contributed by Brian William on Nov 10, 2005

So many people today live "without hope and without God" (Eph. 2:12), yet we build up walls that divide us from sharing the gospel with them. Christ tears down these walls and builds up the true church in its place.

[I started the sermon at the altar rail that goes across the entire width of the front of the sanctuary.] Imagine, for a moment, that when you walked into church this morning that you received a big surprise. Imagine that in the past week, a wall had been erected, right about where the altar rail ...read more

Hallelujah, What A Savior!

Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Jul 10, 2004

Prayer The Dark Side

Contributed by Gregory Mc Donald on Dec 15, 2008

Jesus was a man of prayer. We know very little of his boyhood days, but a boy who at the age of 12 said, "I must be about my Father’s business" surely must have spent much time alone in communion with his Heavenly Father.
