Seeing Clearly Series

Contributed by Grant Macdonald on Jan 17, 2012

Everyone is a slave to something. The NT gives us only two options--either we are a slave to sin, or a slave of Christ.

For the past couple of weeks we have been talking about beginning 2012 by refocusing our faith. We started with the idea that we need to make sure that our focus is on Christ—not ourselves. By that I mean that the Christian Faith should never be focussed on what the Christian does so much as ...read more

Once Saved Always Saved?

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 6, 2012

No doctrine, if true, should contradict other Scripture texts. "Once Saved Always Saved" is a teaching which, on the surface, seems to be scriptural, but if it is rigorously compared to a broad spectrum of Scriptures, it becomes clear that it violates a g

ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED? Proponents of “Once Saved Always Saved” teach that once a person has been converted, “all the sins he may commit from idolatry to murder will not make his soul in any more danger" (theologian Sam Morris), even if he never repents those sins! They say that ...read more

Obeying God's Commands Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Sep 21, 2011

For all those who reject God, they must know that the day will come when they will have to stand before God and face His holiness and justice. They will have to face His judgment. So we must know God. But how can we tell if we really know God?

How do we know if we really know God? We live in a day when many people are not even interested in knowing God. They want to live like they want. To know God is the furthest thing from their minds. This is a very important spiritual issue because if God really exists, then those who reject Him ...read more

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Oct 3, 2011

If we do not allow anything to get in the way of following Jesus Christ, we will be “fishers of men” as well, leading them to be saved from their sins!
