    Surrendering Credentials To Christ

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 13, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,943 views

    If we're not careful, we can get caught up in the world's system of polishing that pedigree. Rather, like the Apostle Paul, we need to surrender all to the great goal of knowing more intimately Christ our Lord. Everything else is secondary.

    Philippians 3:4-14 Surrendering Credentials to Christ Any top-blockers here? Any type-A personalities? Any hard chargers who consistently rank in the top percentile? The military is basically an up-or-out system, so it attracts into career service those who are driven to succeed. Many of you are ...read more

    27. The Kingdom Parables – The Seventh – The Dragnet – Part 3 Of 6 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 19, 2025
     | 54 views

    In the Dragnet parable, we see how it related to the seventh city of the seven churches John wrote to. That was Laodicea. We take a look at the background for Laodicea, and then we begin to look into the letter that was sent to the church in Revelation 3. This is the lukewarm church.

    27. THE KINGDOM PARABLES – THE SEVENTH – THE DRAGNET – PART 3 OF 6 THE DRAGNET - LAODICEA BACKGROUND AND LETTER In every Parable of the Kingdom, we have seen that each Parable remarkably fitted the church from Revelation chapters 2 and 3 that matched that Parable.

    Six hundred years before Jesus was born, Isaiah prophesied about his atoning work on the cross as God’s "Suffering Servant." What would this Suffering Servant accomplish by his death?
