    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,990 views

    What we need is a true picture of Jesus, with nothing avoided and nothing exaggerated. We must be careful to not overemphasize one aspect of Christ’s character at the exclusion of the totality of His being. People will stumble over Him, but if they open t

    We Believe In The Cross Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021
     | 2,378 views

    Salvation doesn’t merely consist in our receiving the forgiveness of sins. In the cross, we are justified. More than having my sins removed, I am credited with Jesus’ good actions.

    “But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 ...read more

    God Of Grace And God Of Glory Series

     | 11,363 views

    Have you ever been in a relationship with someone and it seemed like you could not please them? That’s somewhat true of God, because if you try on the basis of your own behavior to earn God’s approval or his glory, you’ll miss the target every time.

    INTRODUCTION People often say about others, “To know him is to love him!” This is really true of Jesus. To know Jesus is to love him. If you know him, you love him. If you don’t know him, you can’t love him until you do know him. I hope today you will meet him if you ...read more

    Parenting can try the best of us. Yet God's Word is full of wisdom which, when used, brings up Christian children.

    Some practical implications of regarding our eyes as God’s lamp for our bodies - freeing us from worry and anxiety and setting us free to love as we have been loved.

    FLOODLIGHT EYES Matthew 6: 19-34 1. “The eyes are the lamp of the body”.

    Many look at the concept and action of forgiveness in light of the negative connotation of the term the “F word!” They avoid saying it and doing it and feel for some mysterious reason that they are exempt from doing what Jesus described as being essential

    This is the 35 sermon in our series on the Book of Genesis. In this sermon we see that God is gracious and merciful to those who are not in the least bit deserving.

    Always take time to consider how your behavior is honoring or dishonoring God before the world. That’s what matters. You are not your own persons. You are servants of God. That leads us into our next passage, verses 18-25, in which Peter directly addresse

    Introduction We continue to step through our minefield of authority. Peter has moved from his encouragement section of his epistle to practical instruction and exhortation.

    Who's In Charge? Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 30, 2012
     | 5,599 views

    Face it, we humans like to be in charge of ourselves and as many others as we can. Though we aren't all power mongers, this default human behavior causes major problems when we see how God's universe really operates. The lesson comes home in this portion

    We as humans have various default behaviors that we engage in. I know that we as Christians don’t like to think that we are that way, but unless energy is expended in seeking healing from these default human behaviors, we will continue to do them naturally.

     | 17,792 views

    In Psalm 15, David’s asking God what a real worshipper looks like; do we look like God’s answer?

    One of the old confessions of the church (Westminster) says that man’s chief end is to glorify God and to fully enjoy Him forever. That’s a pretty decent answer to why we’re all here. We were created to worship. It is man’s chief end. Worship is an end, not a means to an end. We worship “because ...read more

    This message from Exodus deals with the 10 commandments found in Exodus 20, and also points to how Jesus interpreted the 10 commandments by making them into just two.
