Sermons on Caling And Election Sure:

Universal Prayer

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 29, 2013

UNIVERSAL PRAYER. 1 Timothy 2:1-7. CONTEXT. The faithful saying that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners is worthy of all acceptation - or ‘worthy to be accepted by ALL’ - (1 Timothy 1:15). “Therefore” - as a priority - Paul exhorts Timothy that “supplications, prayers, ...read more

Room For Jesus, A Room For You

Contributed by David Mcnally on Jun 8, 2012

There was no room for sinners in the Garden of Eden, nor on the Ark, and no room in the inn when Jesus was born, but if you have room in your heart for Jesus, He will make sure you get a room in His Father's house.

John 14 verses 1- 4 Room There are five references to ‘room’ in my Bible and all of them are in the NT, and the word ‘space’ does not appear at all, but we know from Genesis 3 that there was no room in Eden for sin. Adam and Eve had everything going for them, they ...read more

Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Sep 21, 2004
