     | 3,723 views

    What is a Christian…really? Many believe they are Christian because they go to church. People profess and call themselves or identify as Christian, but are they truly saved? Unfortunately, today's definition lacks the biblical truth of what it means to be a Christian.

    Christianity and Slavery 1 Peter 2:18-20 Introduction In the last study, we discussed the obligation to submit to lawful secular authority at all levels from the king on down.

    The Visible Evidence Of Christian Maturity: The Production Of Spiritual Fruit

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 3, 2022
     | 1,890 views

    John 15 presents the themes of fruit-bearing, or the visible evidence of true faith and obedience Jesus demands of those who follow Him (Matthew 10:34-39, Luke 14:25-33). Fruit-bearing Christians, or those who do the work of the LORD, will be blessed by Him and hated by the world.

     | 1,819 views

    While justification has declared us righteous, and we have received a new nature, it did not eradicate our ability to sin.

    As Christians, we must be aware that we not only have been given the “new nature” from God, but that the old Adamic nature that we were born with, lies there ready to rise up at any time. HOW CAN WE LIVE A VICTORIOUS LIFE OVER SIN? As chapters 1-5 have taught us, we, who are saved by faith, now ...read more

    Sermon 13: Christian Life And Ministry Are A Team Effort Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jan 12, 2026
     | 105 views

    As the apostle Paul concludes his letter to the church at Colossae, he mentions 11 people in the last 12 verses. From this we notice that Paul was someone who knew how dependent he was on others for his own wellbeing and for the advance of the Gospel. Christian life and ministry are a team effort.
