     | 5,030 views

    Why is the apostle John so urgent in his speaking about sin and the ramifications for our lives? How does our personal sin affect the perceived glory of God in our sphere of influence?

    Dealing with Sin in 1 John Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … 1 John 1:5-7 “This is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you: God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.

    Are you a civilian or a soldier in your attitude toward your Christianity? 2 Tim. 2:4 says you're "chosen by Jesus to be a soldier!" Peter said to "weaponize" yourself with the attitude that you're to endure suffering. Come on Church! Rise up and conquer

    Paul explains why he can't come to rome just yet.

    As Paul says, the good news - the gospel - was promised a long time ago. The first hint that God would defeat evil one day comes - according to many scholars - right there in the beginning, in the third chapter of Genesis. I’m a little dubious about that interpretation, myself, but certainly by ...read more

    Paul wrote to young Timothy and said, “…that thou...war a good warfare.”

    Illus: It is obvious, from much of Paul’s writings, that he thought of the Christian life as a warfare. He spoke of Christians as soldiers, in training, discipline, and even in having weapons. In the Book of Acts, we can see so clearly that Christians are soldiers. In one chapter we read ...read more

    Be Ye Separate

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on May 4, 2024
     | 1,276 views

    Christians are to be readily recognizable. They are to be seperate from worldly persons. However, it is most difficult to identify one in a crowd in the modern world. Why?

    In western culture and its influence upon all the rest of mankind, depicting Christians from the rest of the world is most difficult today. The only differences we see come from diverse groups who outwardly show differences in their dress and chosen culture. Outward differences among all others are ...read more

    The passage deals with immorality that shouldn’t be named or practiced among the believers at Ephesus, I want to emphasize that the scripture should not be burdened with baggage that it is often saddled with

    Background to passage: It’s been a while since we have been in Ephesians, so a quick overview. First three chapters are deeply theological about Christ’s role in our salvation and in the life of the church. Last three chapters are very practical. In fact the end of chapter four some of the “most ...read more

    Wholeness & Holiness: Guarding The Avenues

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 31, 2025
     | 69 views

    The gospel restores body, mind, and spirit—inviting us to guard the soul’s avenues and live as God’s holy, whole temples.

    In the beginning, God formed humanity from the dust of the ground and breathed into that dust the breath of life. The Bible’s first portrait of us is not of a ghostly spirit floating toward heaven but of a living, breathing unity — flesh animated by divine breath. Body and spirit, dust and glory. ...read more

    The 2024 election will have a huge impact on every aspect of our lives but some Christians are still confused about deciding who they will choose because they see that the two candidates do not meet their criteria as a national leader. How to elect a president biblically?

    Today I will discuss a topic related to next month’s presidential election. I am not an American citizen, so I do not have the right to vote and I have no personal interest whatsoever. I do realize that if I preach on this sensitive topic, there is a risk of being misunderstood and disliked by ...read more
