    Contributed by Richard Tow on Mar 25, 2024
     | 844 views

    Five practical benefits of understanding Romans 4 are shared. The theme of justification by faith is contrasted with justification by works which is characteristic of false religions and cults. The grace teaching in Romans 4 is essential in evangelism and forms the foundation for Christian living.

    We Evangelicals are as susceptible to idolatry as are every other religious group. We don't identify our idols as opposed to Christ's rule, but they are idols that cause us to stumble, nevertheless.

    We need mature men in ministry, tried and tested and well established in the bible. Many times the pastor finds himself in the middle of problems and tensions, some serious, particularly when it comes to complaints about others. A cult following must not happen to any minister. Humility!

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 5, 2022
     | 1,522 views

    Salvation must not bypass conviction and repentance. Never lessen the importance of assurance in any Christian life, especially regarding a young Christian. If you leave them without assurance, you leave them vulnerable. Children, young men and fathers get a talking to!

    MESSAGE – GOD’S GROWTH SCALE ? LITTLE CHILDREN TO FATHERS 1John 2:12-14 Let us have a look at just three verses this morning.

    Jesus pops up to speak in the middle of everyone on a major holiday with seemingly nowhere to go. Why would He risk His life? Why would He place Himself in such a dangerous position? Jesus risks everything to give us a gift that changes everything.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 1, 2024
     | 449 views

    The Galatians had exchanged the bondage of idolatry for the bondage of the Law. False teachers promise freedom but chain their adherents in bonds. Our freedom in Christ must be protected. Do not use your freedom as an excuse to sin.
