Grace: It’s So Much More Than God’s Favor

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 8, 2017

In 2 Corinthians 12:9 the Lord tells Paul "My grace is sufficient." If God's grace is all Paul needed to deal with the messenger from Satan, perhaps there's more about grace that we need to know and understand.

The Lord’s response gives me goosebumps. “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for ...read more

Should A Christian Keep The Law? (Pt. 2) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 1, 2021

Why do Christians seem to keep all Ten Commandments except the Sabbath? This message addresses the difference in the way New Testament deals with Old Testament moral versus ceremonial laws.

We are answering the question: Should a Christian Keep the Law? The biblical answer is yes and no. We should keep the moral commandments that are rooted in the immutable nature of God. God is holy. God is a moral being who holds people morally accountable. God does not change. So, the moral ...read more

Church Is Not About My Rights. It's About You. (1 Corinthians 9:1-27) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 12, 2022
