    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 21, 2024
     | 825 views

    What does the scripture teach about leaven? The Galatians, through disobedience had departed from Christ, and Paul has confidence they will return. We look at stumbling blocks and returning from sin. What is the offence of the cross?

    The Promise Is Received By Faith PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 14, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 42 views

    God’s promises are guaranteed by grace, not our strength; faith trusts and obeys even when we doubt, because grace secures what God has spoken.

    Some days faith feels like a full sail on a steady sea. Other days it feels like a flickering candle cupped in the wind. I think of you who walked in today carrying quiet questions. You who love Jesus and still wonder how His promises stand tall in a world that leans hard. You who have prayed for ...read more
