The God Of Christ Paid Back

Contributed by Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid on Dec 14, 2014

Christ Jesus saved but God warns those who sin of the lake of fire and scripture tells us that Christ Jesus will judge. It is right for Christ Jesus to judge us since he saved us (God saved us through his Son Christ Jesus).

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Jun 3, 2020

Good Friday: A Strange Way To Save The World!

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 23, 2021

When it was God's turn to save the world, He didn't do like the Marvel Comic superheroes would do it - with super powers and force. Instead, God saved the world through the humility, gentleness, love, and forgiveness of His Son, Jesus.

Mary: A Role Model For Today's Moms Series

Contributed by David Henderson on May 22, 2017

In this message we look at some of the ways Moms can identify with Mary, the Mother of Jesus. She no doubt experienced some of the same problems Moms today do. She would have faced ridicule, her son was hated by many and she likely lived in poverty.

Costly Obedience

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jul 2, 2017

Abraham faced the greatest trial of his life when God asked him to sacrifice the child of promise. From it, we learn that God tests our faith, grows our faith, and models sacrifice as the Heavenly Father gives his only Son for us.

Genesis 22:1-14 Costly Obedience Sometimes we go through such heavy trials in this life. And, if we’re honest, we may wonder, “God, why are you allowing this to happen to me? I’m trying to follow you best I can. Why, Lord?” Yet, perhaps the better question would be, “Lord, what do you want me to ...read more

Abraham faced, and passed, probably the greatest test of faith given to a man (except for Jesus). Today we'll focus on Genesis 22 where God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. We'll see that It takes faith to put God first.

IT TAKES FAITH (part seven) Hebrews 11:17-19 Today we'll be looking at probably the greatest test of faith given to a man followed by the greatest display of trust and obedience (next to Jesus', of course). In this story we have God commanding Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. But this is the ...read more
