Got Guilt?

Contributed by Bill Sullivan on Jul 1, 2010

we know we are saved by faith, but we often live with guilt because we can’t measure up to God’s standards - we need God’s grace as much after we are saved as before

Got Guilt? TCF Sermon June 20, 2010 The Apostles Paul and John, in most of their New Testament epistles, began with a greeting that included something like this one in 1 Corinthians 1:3 (NIV) Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

God Of Salvation

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 11, 2021

God wanted to spare the people of Nineveh. He didn't want them to face his judgement. But first, he had to save his servant Jonah. Being inside a big fish in the depths of the sea wasn't Jonah's real problem.

Today we’re continuing our series in Jonah. My first talk was titled ‘God of compassion’. Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, was wicked. God described it as wicked and historians tell us that Assyria was wicked. It wasn’t just a little bit wicked. One historian of the Middle East wrote that ...read more

If They Only Knew

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Jul 7, 2013

It almost sounds like it would be an unfair advantage that we have doesn't it? While it is a tremendous advantage, its not an unfair advantage, because everyone can also have it if they choose to!

The Lord Is With You

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 12, 2015

In this passage, it almost seems like Peter is heavily focused on persecution of the Christians he's writing to... and then he just switches gears and talks about something totally unrelated. It seems that way, but it's not.

OPENING: When I asked you to turn to I Peter 3:13 this morning, did you realize that about 800 years ago… you couldn’t have done that? Do you know WHY you couldn’t have turned to I Peter 3 back then? Because there were no chapter divisions. That didn’t happen until 1227, ...read more

Joseph And Benjamin. Series

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Oct 22, 2020

We find that in 43:1-14 Jacob tell his sons to go back to Egypt and buy a “little grain” as their stocks are almost over. The sons refuse to get back unless Benjamin is with them.

Joseph and Benjamin. Genesis 43:1-34 Chapter 43 of Genesis serves at least two functions. First, it reveals the fears of Jacob and his sons to be entirely groundless. The best that these men could hope for was the release of Simeon and their safe return. (verse 14). Little did these men know ...read more

Mystery Of The Stumbling Stone

Contributed by Zachariah King on Sep 14, 2013

Mystery of the gospel, by faith or works? The stumbling stone leads to destruction, it is religion by works that lead many astray. Religion never saved any one, only Jesus saves

The Dark, Bright Night Series
