    Doctrines That Free Vs Doctrines That Enslave

     | 5,445 views

    Here is a sad reality, any one of us, being unprepared to recognize false ideas, might entertain some belief or practice that does not coincide with Jesus teachings! I have seen us lose a few people from this Church over the years and it saddens me.

    Doctrines That Free vs Doctrines That Enslave by Kelly Durant Galatians 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased ...read more

    The Dignity Of The King Vs. The Depravity Of Humanity

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 21, 2022
     | 1,218 views

    John 18:12-36 continues the story of Jesus' journey towards the cross as He faced His enemies and an illegal trial based on false charges. What they didn't know was that Jesus was in control and that this was part of the redemptive plan (1 Corinthians 2:7-8).

    The Lord Jesus had been arrested while in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-52; Luke 22:47-53; John 18:1-11). He was being hauled off to an illegal trial on false charges. This is the beginning of an obvious plot using any means possible by the Pharisees and the other ...read more

    The Personification Of Truth Vs. The Pettiness Of Skepticism

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 24, 2022
     | 1,272 views

    The drama of redemption continued as the Lord Jesus, having faced an illegal trial by the religious authorities of Israel, now faced the representative of political authority in Israel, Pontius Pilate, and the conversation he had with the true Authority.

    John 18:28-40 records the probable final conversation that the Lord Jesus has with another person before he was led off to be crucified. He had a dialogue with the Roman governor of the Judean province, Pontius Pilate, and we also see that these two men had opposing agendas. Pilate comes across ...read more

    One can be confident, zealous, and religious, but also be lost. It is only through repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ that we can be saved.

    We are surely walking in the last days as we see mass media and public opinion sway to the point of eroding the very foundations of truth on which our faith and trust have have stood. We need the light of many candles to expose the evil plan birthed in fear and worry.
