    Salvation is more than just saying yes. It’s more than just being baptized. It’s more than going to church. It’s a lifetime commitment to the most wonderful friend of them all.

    I was listening to a sermon by R. C. Sproul and he quoted a theologian from some college somewhere. I didn’t catch the guys name but when I heard the quote it got my attention. “Religion is the Opiate of the people” (Explain) Kills pain Takes away our problems Temporary Fix There’s a slight ...read more

    So you've looked at the arguments for God, the Bible, and Jesus. You've decided there is enough evidence to take a reasonable leap of faith. Or you just know in your heart there is a God, something bigger than you. What's next?

    Is There Such A Thing As A Christian Duty?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jun 16, 2025
     | 197 views

    Christian duty is more than being a Sunday School teacher, a church musician, deacon, or pastor.

    Is There Such a Thing as a Christian Duty? Luke 17:7-10 What does the word “duty” mean? The online dictionary states that duty is a moral or legal obligation; a responsibility or a task or action that someone is required to perform. So, as a Christian, what is our duty? Do we have a duty within ...read more

    God calls upon His people to have a thankful heart and an "attitude of gratitude."

    Paul mentions three things that are God’s will for each and every one of His children. In this series, we have considered how it is God’s will that we be joyful (v. 16) and prayerful (v. 17). Now, we will turn our attention to verse 18, where we are told that it is God’s will for each of His ...read more

    Being Persecuted

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 2, 2022
     | 1,820 views

    Suffering may not be a common topic of conversation in our lives but suffering for the sake of Jesus, being persecuted because we follow Him, is something Jesus told us to expect.

    As we live our Christian lives there are a lot of questions that are related to the Christian Life that don't really fall into life and death categories. Questions like: what's your favorite version of the bible? How can I be a better group member? Or the BIG ALL-IMPORTANT QUESTION: if a ...read more

    A brief discription of what servanthood should really mean.

    In this day of “It’s all about me” philosophy we find many Christian ministries strongly emphasizing the things we are promised that we have as a Christian.

    Being Salt Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 31, 2023
     | 2,264 views

    Immediately following the Beatitudes, Jesus turned the instruction from character qualities of his followers to their function in the world as salt and light. Matthew 5:13 warns about failing to function as salt.

    Intro We have found in our study of the Beatitudes that a certain kind of person is blessed (approved and favored by God). This follower of Christ has the same characteristics developed in him that we see in Christ. He is poor in spirit, mournful of anything that does not glorify God, meek, etc. It ...read more
