Three Words From God Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 18, 2017

God came to Ahab through a prophet to give him a word of promise, a word of caution and a word of assurance.

He failed, not because God has given up on him; Ahab has chosen to ignore God. • We see Ahab’s repeated rejection of God’s Word, given through the prophets. It is not ...read more

Religion Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 7, 2024

Religion imprisons in ritual, Jesus frees us through our willingness to surrender all to Him

A Rebuke To Forgiveness-Only Salvation

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Sep 30, 2025

This is a challenging passage. Surely Paul doesn't mean that we have to actually live like that?! What it all points us to is a false gospel that is too often preached today - "forgiveness-only" belief. What does this passage tell us about what real salvation looks like?

A COMMON BELIEF TODAY: I am “saved” and unchanged. - Matthew 7:15-20; Matthew 7:24-27; Luke 13:6-9; John 15:8. - This passage makes us uncomfortable. It sounds harsh and unrealistic. We will delve into how we are to understand it as we move forward. - A good place to start is a major reason why ...read more

Winning The Battle For Your Mind

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 17, 2024

One of the most important things we need to learn and teach others is how to guard, strengthen, and renew our minds, because the battle for sin always starts in the mind.

Opening illustration: A violent battle is raging around us twenty-four hours per day. In 1965, Donald Grey Barnhouse wrote a book about it called The Invisible War. It is the battle for your mind, and that battle is vicious. It is intense. It is unrelenting, and it is unfair because Satan never ...read more
