Steadfast Or Intolerant

Contributed by Terry Frazier on Mar 2, 2013

In a world filled with political correctness, Christians have a duty to stand up and speak the truth. Believers have to stand steadfast to the principles taught to us in Scripture. We are to proclaim the truth no matter what the world will say in response

Salt & Light

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Feb 6, 2011

1. Jesus was telling us not to live for the kingdom of the world, but the Kingdom of God. 2. Jesus is saying that we play an important role in the life of the world as salt and light. 3. Jesus was talking about a new way of obedience.

It is no accident that Jesus talked about us being salt and light immediately after he spoke the Beatitudes. It is in learning how to think as Jesus thought and live as he lived in submissions to God, that we become agents of healing and light in the world. It is when we live as people who do not ...read more

What's The Truth

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Mar 13, 2018

Jesus receives the title, “King of the Jews,” but he declares that his kingdom is not of this world and it is a kingdom of truth.. If it is not of this world, then where is it? And, where can we find the truth? Is God’s kingdom confined to heaven, or does

INTRODUCTION Pilate’s question, “What is Truth?” was a hotly debated question centuries before he took his first breath and for millennia after he took his last.

The Penalty Of Sin Is Death

Contributed by James Linders on Jun 28, 2015

The world was created blameless, and SO was heaven. Through man's disobedience to God sin and death entered the world, and Satan led a third of the angels in heaven to rebel against God. The ONLY solution to THIS tragedy was CHRIST dying on the cross.

Genesis 2:16-17. The LORD God said to man: “You are FREE to eat from ANY tree in the garden, but you must NOT eat from the tree of knowledge, of good and evil, for when you EAT from it, you will CERTAINLY die. You will die BEFORE the day is over.” While Adam and Eve were walking ...read more

Standing Out Pt. 2 Series

Contributed by Josh Brown on Sep 13, 2020

Our mission, our calling in this world is to show an unbelieving world what God is like. One of the simplest ways to do this is to serve others selflessly out of love and compassion all while pointing people back to the Father.

The Days Of Thyatira Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Sep 24, 2017

Jesus told us to be in the world, but not of it. This at least implies we are to be engaged, interactive, present, making the world a better place. But it also means we have to govern our exposure to those things which dishonor God.

To the angel of the church of Thyatira write These things says the Son of God, the one having his eyes like flame of fire, and his feet like polished bronze. I know your works, and the love, and the faith, and the service (deaconate), and the patience (endurance), and your latter works are greater ...read more

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore ...read more

Love That Doesn't Fail Series

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jun 26, 2014

This is why Jesus made a sacrifice for you and me. Because he really loves us. A love that doesn't fail is a love that sacrifices. The world has no idea what this real love is, because the world is selfish.

According to John those who say they love God show it by obeying the Word of God. There were those who were false teachers during John's day who claimed that they were apostles, too, just like John. There were others who claimed that Jesus wasn't really human, he didn't really suffer and die as a ...read more

Are You Useful To God? Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 24, 2022

God does not want believers to isolate or insulate themselves from the world and those who are lost. Like salt, Christians are called to make the world tastier; and like light, believers will shine the brightest only in the darkest places.

Are you useful to God, or have you made yourself useless? When we come to know Jesus Christ, we are transformed into a holy instrument to be used by the Lord. We all have a purpose, but some of us choose to make ourselves useless by not allowing the Lord to touch us with His hand. To put it ...read more
