Chosen Yet Free 2 Series

Contributed by Dan Cormie on Sep 19, 2010

Has God predetermined all the wickedness, pain, and destruction we see all around the world every day? If God waits on the choices of men in order to have relationship; does that deny His sovereignty?

Will You Stay Or Will You Go Now? (John 6:60-71) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 31, 2022

Chapter 6 has moved from huge crowds trying to make Jesus king, down to only 12. It's all falling apart, maybe. The question is, will you join the Judeans, and walk away from Jesus, or abide with Christ?

This week, we will make our final push to get through John 6. We were supposed to read this entire chapter at once, as a single story. But instead, it took me four weeks. Let's start this morning, one last time, at John 6:22. This picks up our story after Jesus fed the 5,000 people, and ...read more

Entire Sanctification Defined

Contributed by Darin Gary on Jun 25, 2016

So many within the HOLINESS MOVEMENT (non-charismatic), ORTHODOX METHODISM, and WESLEYAN-ARMINIAN Churches (and, sometimes educational institutions) struggle with understanding, appropriating, and teaching BIBLICAL HOLINESS.

ENTIRE SANCTIFICATION DEFINED (Leviticus 19:1-2) “…the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, [2] Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy.’” Entire Sanctification is a term we hear; and, often ...read more

Murder One Series

Contributed by Pat Cook on Sep 30, 2004

#4 in Romans 8 series. This explores how positionally Christians have already died, and how we are to live practically - putting to death the deeds of our sinful nature. Blatantly Wesleyan-Arminian.

How Can A Good God Send People To Hell? Series

Contributed by Dr. Joel Perttula on Aug 25, 2020

Hell is eternal separation from God. It’s a place of everlasting darkness, where its captives moan and wail. It’s a place of utter hopelessness, extreme anguish, and endless torment. So how could a loving God send people there? He doesn't!

Transformed! Series

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Feb 17, 2023

From the background of Free Methodist Doctrine (Wesleyan-Arminian), we are called to be "transfigured" as Jesus by allowing the Holy Spirit to change us from the "inside-out" to live a holy and sanctified life.

IT IS CLEAR FROM SCRIPTURE THAT THE CHURCH IS OF GOD AND FOR PEOPLE. THE BIBLICAL CONCEPT OF THE CHURCH IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE FREE MEHTODIST CHURCH STATES: “THE CHURCH IS THE ORGANIC, CORPORATE INSTRUMENT GOD HAS CHOSEN TO REMAKE PEOPLE AND SOCIETY. IT HAS A MISSION OF HOLY LOVE. THE CHURCH ...read more

John's World

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Jun 15, 2015

Was John only the apostle of love, or also the prophet of judgment? Was he "free will" as in John 3:16, or "predestination" as in John 6:37. To ask these things about him is really to ask them about the One he quoted. Jesus does not fit into our boxes...

John’s World… Did John contradict John in regards to the doctrines of grace? Whose side was he on, after all? It wasn’t just Paul! There’s a real opposition in the evangelical church to what they call “Calvinism”, but what Spurgeon called “Bible.” ...read more

Once Saved, Always Saved? What Would Have To Happen If A Person Willingly Chooses To Lose Their Salvation

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Sep 6, 2017

A review of the events described in the Bible that would have to take place if a person willingly chose to 'fall' and 'slip away,' losing their salvation and become unBorn-Again.

There are two fundamental schools about this have many branches of differing thought. First is the Armenian teaching that believes the believer maintains salvation and can be lost due to sin. Second is Calvinism, which teaches that salvation can never be lost because it was preordained from the ...read more

Three ways knowing God has a plan can help us in our lives.

On of the TV shows that was popular back in the 1980s was "The A-Team."  The A Team was about a commando unit that was wrongfully accused of a crime they didn’t commit, so it was constantly on the run.

The Golden Chain Of Redemption

Contributed by Keith Foskey on Apr 15, 2014
