    What Is It Going To Be - Abiding Or Blacksliding? 1 John 2 V 28-29 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 5, 2022
     | 1,670 views

    It’s sad Christians live deficient lives when God has supplied all that's needed. Some say they have no direction; don't feel like partaking of spiritual things; careless about their walk. The problem often is the neglect of Godly resources - the word of God, prayer, and fellowship.

    MESSAGE – WHAT IS IT GOING TO BE - ABIDING OR BLACKSLIDING? 1 John 2 v 28-29 1John 2 v 28 Now, little children, abide in Him so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming. 1John 2 v 29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone ...read more

     | 1,695 views

    During the days after the Civil War up thru the 1960s, there were many "Christians" in the U.S. who embraced bigotry and mistreated the black people around them. Why would supposed Christians do that, and how do we protect ourselves from that kind of evil?

    Martin Luther King Jr. Day was last Monday (1/20/25). He once said: “The time is always right to do what is right.” Today, our sermon is going to be on racism, not because I think any of us are racist - but because, as Christians, we need to know what the Bible says about it. Martin Luther ...read more

    Satan and God have two very different ways they want us to look at trouble and temptation in our life.

    "Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one ...read more
