    Essentials Of Faith

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 4, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,260 views

    In this exposition of Hebrews 11:1-6, the nature of faith (v. 1), understanding by faith (v. 3), and essentials of faith (v. 6) are explored. "Without faith it is impossible to please God." Therefore, the subject is of supreme importance.

    We take our text today from Hebrews 11: the great faith chapter. We will begin by reading the first six verses. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. 3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by ...read more

    The short answer to the question, “Are we in the end times?” is, “Yes, we are.” Biblically speaking, the end times or “last days” began with the Ascension of Christ and will last until the Second Coming. Now that’s a short sermon, isn’t it?

    Are You A Believer Or A Receiver?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Sep 29, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,000 views

    There is a growing belief within the church that a person who is a believer in Jesus is considered a Christian and has therefore been given eternal life after they say the "sinners prayer." This is an in-depth multipart message

    This belief stems primarily from the notion that because Jesus ‘chose’ the Disciples, they were now the ‘saved’ elect, including Judas, which is why they were able to perform healings, miracles, and casting out demons in Jesus’ name. It is true that Judas was one of the multiple disciples Jesus ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,727 views

    The resurrection of Jesus from the dead is either fact or fiction. If it is fiction we are all lost in our sin. If it is fact then our eternal destiny pivots on whether we believe it or not.

    You Are A Theologian!

     | 3,849 views

    We often think of theologians as those with high-sounding degrees but in reality we are all theologians in a very general sense. Two questions arise; are we Biblical theologians and are we GOOD Biblical theologians???

    You Are A Theologian! Today we will be reading from Deuteronomy 17:14-20 Who are the theologians of this church? Before you answer that, what is a theologian and what is theology? And to answer that requires a two step process. The English word “theologian” comes from two Greek words with an ...read more
