    Trinity Exposition: Why Should I Believe?

    Contributed by Don Aldrich Tamayo on Jun 25, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,389 views

    Is God the Father the only “one God”—or is the Son, Jesus, God too? If so, do Christians worship more than one God? Is that not polytheism, as some suggest? Is God the Father superior to Jesus? Did Jesus come after the Father? Was there a time when the Father but not Jesus existed?

    Introduction: Let me start it with a humor, Why did the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit start a band? Because they had perfect harmony! Why did the Trinity go to the baseball game? Because they heard there would be a lot of "Son" shine! Let us Pray: Is God the Father the only “one ...read more

    #7 We Believe In The Body Of Christ-The Church Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Aug 22, 2022
     | 2,114 views

    As we will see, Jesus never called anyone to be a lone ranger Christian. Church membership is not an option. All Scripture references are from the NASB.

    Over the past couple of months we have looked at the basics of our Christian beliefs. We considered God’s natural revelation of Himself to all. How we believe in God because our observation of the world demands it. We looked at our belief in the word of God, the Bible, through which we come to ...read more

    You Are The Salt Of The Earth Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 23, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,584 views

    Jesus calls us to be the salt - the preservative - of the earth. He warns us against losing our sense of mission. Or, considering the Greek, perhaps he is warning us against being pushed off course. But either way, his message is: stick with it.

    Today, after a bit of a break, we’re returning to Jesus’ longest recorded sermon, the Sermon on the Mount. Can you remember how Jesus starts his sermon? What was his first WORD? Jesus’ first word is ‘blessed’. ‘Blessed’ means happy or fortunate. Jesus wants us to be blessed. He is going to ...read more

    The importance of true worship is looked at and equally – do not be conformed to the world. The vital truth of the mind is pondered, with verses about the mind. The mind must be in the right state, set on God, for it plays a critical part in our attitude and therefore in our love towards God.
