    We Are Made Righteous By Faith (Second Sunday Of Lent, March 5, 2023)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2023
     | 2,301 views

    How would you like to take a test that had a different rule for success? Instead of so many points for an “A”, so many for a “B” and so on, the success of the test would be based on an “all or nothing rule”. So you would have to get a 100% to pass on every test every single day.

    WE ARE MADE RIGHTEOUS BY FAITH Text: Romans 4:1-5, 13-17 Romans 4:1-5  What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter?  (2)  If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. ...read more

    The Plumb Line

    What is our standard of holiness? As individuals, do we compare ourselves with others? As a church, do we compare our ministry with the congregation down the road? These are mistaken comparisons, as Jesus is our true standard.

    Michael Green, in his book Illustrations for Biblical Preaching, shares a good lesson which I think is appropriate for beginning our message this evening. He states, All of us frequently compare ourselves favorably with someone else. We all think of someone whom we consider to be less mature, ...read more

    What is the nature of Christian love? It looks out for what is best; it persists; and it is practical.

    Context/Reminder Romans 12:1-2 - the Christian mind is a transformed mind, not slipping easily into the same pattern as the world around us, but renewed by our relationship with our almighty and merciful God.

    A Solid Starting Point For Effective Prayer Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 9, 2025
     | 664 views

    The beginning of the Lord's Prayer is the words "Our Father in heaven." This starts our prayer with the fact that we are asking for help. How does this phrase encourage us in that direction?

    - A couple opening points for the sermon series as a whole. - First, the Lord’s Prayer is a good antidote to our limited prayer life. - Many of us have prayer lives that are largely limited to asking for stuff, whether it’s for ourselves or for others. Now, that's a good thing to do, but ...read more

    Why People Fail To Realize That They Are Sinners?

    Contributed by Barnabas Park on Oct 3, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 663 views

    People fail to recognize their sinfulness because they compare themselves to others instead of to God, ignore His grace, underestimating the depth of their sins, and underesimate God’s perfect righteous standard revealed through Christ’s sacrifice.

    The Apostle Paul proclaimed in Romans 1:17 that the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel. Before explaining in detail what this gospel is, he explains why this gospel is necessary and why God’s righteousness is needed in Romans 1:18–3:20 as follows: 1. Everyone is a sinner, whether Jew ...read more

    The sermon will explore the concept of Jesus as the light of the world, guiding us from darkness into the kingdom of God, and how we can apply this guidance in our lives and communities.

    Hello everyone, I am so glad you’re here with us today! Today we are in the book of Matthew, chapter 4.

    TRUTH UNDER FIRE By Frank Lay A STUDY OF 2 JOHN In John 14:6, Jesus made a statement that has become His most controversial claim. He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.
