The Gospel. Part 3: What Happens If We Accept Jesus?

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Nov 15, 2020

When we accept Jesus we ARE a new creation and the old passes away. There is new birth and death. But we shouldn't imagine for a moment that the job is done. Just as a new baby needs nurturing, our new spiritual selves need nurturing. And our old selves need to be shown the door.

It’s Not Fire Insurance

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 12, 2021

This message discusses how there are people who attend church claiming faith in Christ simply because they want a ticket to heaven, or because they want their fire insurance; but, they have never truly believed in Jesus as Savior and Lord.

This morning, I am going to talk about the deception of professing Christ as fire insurance and as a ticket to heaven; and so, I’m going to begin with a related illustration. In the December 2001 issue of “Reader’s Digest,” the boxer Muhammed Ali was asked during an interview what his faith meant ...read more

"Our Identity In Christ (Iv): We Are Children Of God”

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jun 2, 2021

Knowing who we are in Christ is vital. Without it, we can be confused, lost, and have no meaning and purpose in our lives, and therefore, fail to accomplish God's plans for us. This is the fourth sermon series on "Our Identity in Christ."

Many in the younger generation suffer from identity confusion. When we ask them “Who are you?” they cannot answer. They do not know where their value comes from. Some even question the most basic things about themselves, like those who suffer from gender dysphoria and do not know whether they are ...read more

Does God Hate Homosexuals? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Two people of the same sex can try to get that deep kind of completion through a sexual friendship, which is homosexuality. The Bible says you can’t get that kind of completion, the completion we’re talking about in marriage, from somebody of the same sex.

Thank you for joining for this important topic, provocatively titled, “Does God Hate Homosexuals”? Two forces are colliding in the political and cultural landscape of our day: religious liberty and homosexuality ideology.
