    Working Out Our Salvation Series

    Contributed by Steve Bond on Oct 30, 2007
     | 5,628 views

    Scripture teaches the Christian life involves both God’s sovereignty and human responsibility. It’s not one or the other; it’s both.

    From the earliest days of the church, the relationship between the sovereignty of God and the responsibility of believers has been debated. Is the Christian life essentially a matter of passive trust or of active obedience? Is it all God’s doing, all the believer’s doing, or a combination of both? ...read more

    John Newton was once known only for his occupation: captain of a slave-trading vessel.

    Love One Another

    Contributed by David Hersey on Mar 27, 2015
     | 8,475 views

    The love we have and show for one another is how we show the world that we are the disciples of Christ. This lesson is going to focus primarily on how we are to demonstrate our love for one another.

    Love One Another In the King James Translation, the term "one another" occurs 41 times. And most, not all, of these phrases are in the context of how Christians are to treat each other. And of the "one another" phrases which do not fall into that category, many of those fall into the "How ...read more

    Learning To Trust In A Skeptical World

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Oct 12, 2021
     | 3,723 views

    I believe one of the greatest issues facing our world today, to include the church, is the fact that trust has all but disappeared in relationships. I believe the book of Micah shows us the tragedy of a society where trust is absent; however, the book also shows us how to regain that which is lost.

    In recent weeks I have been pondering a very important question: "What is the common denominator for understanding healthy relationships? We could postulate many words (e.g., friendship, tolerance, respect, appreciation, etc.). I then contemplated, what happens if trust is absent in a ...read more

    Devoted To The Apostles' Teaching

    Contributed by David Owens on Jul 10, 2023
     | 3,111 views

    When the church first began, those first disciples of Jesus devoted themselves to the apostles' teachings. The New Testament contains the apostles' teaching and as followers of Jesus today, we must also devote ourselves to the apostles' teaching.

    A. The Bible says that the early church “devoted themselves…” to a number of things. (NIV) 1. Some of the other translations express the phrase “devoted themselves” slightly differently. a. KJV: And they continued steadfastly b. NASV: They were continually devoting themselves 2. Their ...read more
