    The grace of God that brings salvation should fill us with wonder and astonishment; with praise and adoration for the ‘God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ’ because—He CHOSE US in Christ… He PREDESTINED US to adoption as sons… and He has ACCEPTED US in

    Are You A Follower Of Jesus

    Contributed by Darrin Fish on Sep 3, 2015
     | 4,820 views

    The biggest threat to churches today is fans who call themselves Christians but they aren’t interested in following Jesus. They want to be close enough to get all the benefits, but not so close that it requires anything from them. Adopted from "Not a Fan"

    Are you a Follower of Jesus • For a lot of us as Christians we dismiss this question because it almost feels redundant or unnecessary. When it comes to life people generally fall into 2 categories 1. The Jesus Fish on the back of the car group • These are the people who think the ...read more

    Warning Label Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 28, 2010
    based on 54 ratings
     | 58,130 views

    Romans 11 lists a "warning" for those who would take their relationship with God for granted. But there’s a tendency to focus more on the "warning" than on the powerfully positive message found in these verses. Do you know what that positive message could

    Over the years, “The Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch” has sponsored an annual contest of the most absurd warning labels. Among their top place winners have been: "Do not use this snow blower on the roof." "Do not allow children to play in the dishwasher." A Clothes Iron had this advice: "Warning! ...read more

    “doing Things You’ve Never Done To Get Things You’ve Never Gotten.”

    Contributed by John Gaston on May 24, 2016
     | 9,583 views

    We can’t continue our half-hearted, part-time Christianity and expect dynamic N.T. results. Rather, we must attempt to adopt Bible devotion, practices, and obedience – then we can expect to have Bible results!

    DOING THINGS WE’VE NEVER DONE TO GET THINGS WE’VE NEVER GOTTEN INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: HE LOVED DRIVING TRAINS 1. In the early days of Texas, there was a man who drove trains for a living.

    Liberal Theology In The Churches – Address Number 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 20, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,921 views

    Either what the Bible tells us in its totality is true, or it is to be dismissed as fable and we can discount anything we want to. Those who are liberals in churches and colleges deny parts of the bible and adopt humanism to try to adapt the bible. God is supreme.

    LIBERAL THEOLOGY IN THE CHURCHES – ADDRESS NUMBER 2 SECTION 3: THE ELEMENTS OF LIBERALISM (I am presenting some thoughts on this subject helped by some excellent material by Matt Slick who is founder of CARM, the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry.

    Live With The Lamb Series

    Contributed by Mike Cleveland on Dec 5, 2007
     | 3,204 views

    At Jesus’ invitation we “come and see” where He is staying, and what we see is that our sins are gone, that we have a clean slate and a fresh start, that we are adopted into God’s family, reconciled to our Father, and that we have eternal life.

    Live With the Lamb: John 1:35-39 I want us to think just now of the one most important reason why anybody should follow Jesus Christ over, say, Mohammad. Or why would we follow Christ over Buddha, or Confuscious, or the religion of Hare Krishna, or Hinduism or Taoism. You kids here today are going ...read more

     | 1,870 views

    Christmas isn’t just a celebration of a baby’s birth—it’s the celebration of perfect timing. In Galatians 4:4-5, the Apostle Paul captures the significance of the coming of Christ. These verses show us that Jesus’ birth was no accident; it was God’s deliberate and perfect plan.

    Christmas Eve Communion Service - The Perfect Time, The Perfect Gift - Galatians 4:4-5 Galatians 4:4-5 (NLT): “But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law.

    Sermon # 40 - No Longer A Slave Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 30, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 380 views

    God in His grace set us free from sin and the bondage to sin and has adopted us to be His sons and daughters. There are privileges and rights that are ours as children of God, and only when we fully comprehend this will be able to fulfill God’s purposes for our lives.

    Today’s meditation is based on Galatians 4:7, “Now you are not slaves like before. You are God's children, and you will receive everything he promised his children.” (ERV) As Paul addressed the believers in the church at Galatia, he reminded them that they were no longer slaves. He prompted ...read more
