    Contributed by William Akehurst on Jun 12, 2025
     | 453 views

    GOD cares more about the condition of your heart than the traditions you keep. GOD desires genuine inner purity and authentic faith, not religious performance. True righteousness comes from a transformed heart, not outward tradition.

     | 5,857 views

    Many people need proof of the authenticity of Jesus the Christ who was born in a manger long ago. Matthew uses the genealogical record of Jesus in order to show Jesus' royal lineage. He also includes some folks in that lineage to show that the heart of the Lord is open to all!

    Don't Teach The Gospel

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Sep 16, 2012
     | 3,052 views

    Christians aren't called to teach to the world, because the world is essentially unteachable. However, we can reach the world through our witness, the authentic living of a Christ-like life.

    Who here is a teacher? St. James tells us, “Not many of you should presume to be teachers…because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly” (Jas. 3:1). Who presumes to be one? Anyone want to be judged? Nodody? Well, I guess that, to escape any additional judgment ...read more

    Authentic faith produces good things. This message is the first in a series on 1 & 2 Thessalonians. Thanks to Pastor Derrick Tuper for his thoughts that contributed to this message (see notation in text)

    Paul couldn’t stand it any longer. He had to know how the church in Thessalonica was doing. After all, he had poured himself into that congregation and sacrificed deeply to teach its members the gospel. But now Satan was attacking it with persecution, doubt, and trial. Were the believers ...read more

     | 5,129 views

    We all were identified with Adam and Eve. It’s because of the sinful nature of Adam and Eve we were identified with them. We were married to their nature so to speak. But, now we have Christ and we have a new identity.

    Constant battle but, everlasting victory! Romans 7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be ...read more
