Our Part In Salvation

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 17, 2019

What is our part in being saved? Early in the Bible we discover we are saved by faith alone, through God's grace and not our own works. As Christians we live every day thankful for God's grace.

Love: A New Covenant - 11 Of 14 Series

Contributed by Russell Metcalfe on Jan 28, 2021

This day of celebration of family love is the day when we hear His greatest commandment— what some call, "The Eleventh Commandment." "A new commandment I give you," Jesus said, "That you love one another."

May 10, 1998 John 13:31-35 There are many ways to look at Mother's Day. I see it as an opportunity to celebrate family love. It doesn't have to just be birth mothers that we honor. At least we can think again about how important our loved ones are to us. Children often see things a ...read more

Abraham: A Final Look Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 3, 2021

The last years of Abraham's life have less coverage than his middle years, between leaving Ur and settling in Beersheba. Even so, several events happened, so let's take a last look at Abraham's live

Introduction: Abraham, like most Bible characters, had his high and low points. The highest point, arguably, would be the episode where he was commanded to offer Isaac as a burnt offering but was stopped before he actually did so (Genesis 22). The last years of Abraham’s life don’t have much ...read more

Holiness And Unconditional Eternal Security Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Feb 20, 2021

Is it possible for a person who is born again and mature in Christ to take his eyes off of the Savior and wander so far away from the faith that he would reject and disown Christ? And, if it is possible what would be the eternal consequences?

The Savior In Gethsemane

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

Before Jesus suffered great physical pain on the cross, He had to suffer great mental pain in the Garden of Gethsemane, and this too was part of what He paid for our salvation.

A salesman said to me, “We all know you do not get something good for nothing.” It turned out to be very true in regard to what he was selling. I began to think about this in relationship to the Gospel and concluded that it is both true and false. Salvation by grace through faith is the greatest ...read more

Guilty But Pardoned

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

Jesus was our Savior on the cross, but He was also our Judge, and He pardoned us for all of our unknown sins of omission that we can never confess. His forgiveness was universal and comprehensive.

If God did not pardon the guilty there would be no Gospel, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Even so, we feel there is a danger in being too merciful. Abraham Lincoln was accused of this during the Civil War when he seemed willing to pardon just about anyone. He would ...read more
