A Declaration Of Independence

Contributed by Allan Kircher on Jul 2, 2011

We are free-but so many times we don't live that way. We live as imprisoned, enslaved people. A Christian is a free man/sometimes he needlessly places himself under bondage to a system.

"A Declaration of Independence?" John 8:34-36 Allan H. Kircher July 3, 2011 We rejoice at this time every year because in this country we are blessed with freedom • Freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, to bear arms, of the press- • we are free to do whatever we want in the ...read more

Sins Against The Holy Spirit: Resisting Series

Contributed by Alvin Hathaway, Sr. on May 22, 2011

Even though the Holy Spirit may be a mystery, it does have history. Even though the Holy Spirit may seem painful, it is profitable. Even though the Holy Spirit may seem distant, it is distinctively God.

The Cross cancels Sin Sunday, March 1, 2009 Sins against the Holy Spirit: Resisting Acts 7: 51 – 60 As we move through this Lenten Season, I believe we should drop the pretense of Journeying with Jesus Christ to the Cross and thank God that the Cross cancels Sin. A preacher at the ...read more

TO BE FREE (JOHN 8:31-47) On the Easter weekend of 2013 I joined a fellowship group to visit prisoners and was given a timely lesson and insight on the lack or worse, the absence, of freedom.

Facing Forward Series

Contributed by Andy Stanley on Sep 18, 2009

The third in a series of messages on the topic of an invisible "unseen" world that impacts our visible world. This sermon focuses on the bondage of our human bodies to decay and suffering, and that God remains present and active through it all.

The irony of pain and suffering, or one of the ironies, is that it’s really the shortest route to God. When the bottom drops out and things suddenly, overnight, or in a moment, or in a phone call, go wrong, everybody--believers, unbelievers, agnostics, atheists--everybody, suddenly, there’s a ...read more

Is Legalism A Bad Word?

Contributed by Patrick Nix on Jul 9, 2010

This message deals with the fact that God’s law (from Moses to Christ) is good and that its continued presence in church and culture is right, not wrong.

Too many people today, even Christians, feel like the days of grace and spiritual liberty should erase the law of God. If any minister or church preaches or teaches the laws of God as good, they are labeled as old-fashioned, cult-like, or legalistic. Since when did ‘legalism’ (the idea of abiding ...read more

Freedom Day

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 5, 2023

All our days were given by God and belong to God; but on the Sabbath day he gives us freedom as well.

Leah didn’t know why she kept coming to the synagogue. She counted the days up in her head... every seven days for eighteen years, it had to be at least 400 times, she thought. At first people were sorry for her, and someone would take her arm to help her up the steps to section reserved for the ...read more

Legalism Is Sin & Slavery (Galatians 2)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 17, 2024

Are we under law or faith? Is circumcision in the flesh still necessary? Let's find out in Galatians 2.

Paul was directly taught by the resurrected Jesus, but was not a rebel. He cooperated with the Apostles before him. Was the commandment to be circumcised still valid in the flesh, that is, in the letter of the law? Is there a spiritual application of the law of circumcision? Are works of the law ...read more
