    Christian Life is from Grace to Grace. We have nothing to brag about on our ownselves. Everything we have and everything we are because of God’s grace.

Genesis 6:8 – is the very first reference in the Bible to great concept of God’s Grace. In the midst of the MOST WICKED SOCIETY that history has ...read more

    We are plagued with doubts. But these words from Romans are designed to rid our souls of doubt.

    Romans 8:31-39: DOUBT-FREE CHRISTIANITY Have you noticed how often the word “free” appears at the grocery store? Everything is free! What I mean is this – you can buy milk that is fat-free. There are egg-beaters that are cholesterol-free. Special fruits and vegetables are pesticide-free. ...read more

    based on 74 ratings
     | 3,843 views

    I have often been asked by christians "why if the Bible doesn’t mention smoking, how can it be wrong" I believe this message answers those questions.

    What’s Wrong With A Christian Who Smokes? Text (1Cor. 3:16-17) (A) Would Jesus Smoke? Honestly can you imagine Jesus inhaling a cigarette? Can you picture the Lord blowing smoke in your face? NO! Jesus is our example of what a Christian should be. (ILL) My great-grandmother used to say, "If God ...read more

    Lots of reasons to be dreary. But there are even more compelling reasons to rejoice.

    Romans 5:1-5 DREARY-FREE CHRISTIANITY This past week with the warmer weather, I was finally able to clean out some of my garage. It’s not such a bad place to be when the weather is decent. One thing I was finally able to get rid of is a pile of dirt that always sits right next to my car. All ...read more

    You are worse off than you think. But, you are also better off than you think. Do understand this is to rid yourself of confusion.

    CONFUSION-FREE CHRISTIANITY (Romans 5:12-15) Confusion is a big problem in our world today. Perhaps one of the best examples of confusion I have ever seen is this past week, on TV. They were showing hundreds of Iraqi people, standing in the streets, shouting and screaming their support for ...read more

    Is it right to say that Jesus is the ONLY way? Unless you deny the Word, you better preach the truth and He is the truth and the only way!

    Christian Toolbox Basics

    based on 45 ratings
     | 12,689 views

    I like to think that every Christian is born again with a spiritual toolbox. In your Christian toolbox are some basic tools. We all need to become experts in using these tools if we want to become mature Christians.

    CHRISTIAN TOOLBOX BASICS Let me see the hands of everyone who has a toolbox. (interview people “What do you have in your toolbox?” - (next person) “Do you have anything different in your toolbox?” “Why do you have a toolbox?” “What would your life be like without your tools?”) I like to ...read more

    WHEN CHRISTIANS DISAGREE Acts 15:1-2, 36-41 INTRO.- Do people ever disagree? Do Christians ever disagree? What a question! Of course, they do. All people disagree at times.

    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Jun 5, 2003
    based on 44 ratings
     | 5,221 views

    More important than attractive outward apparel is the adornment of a holy life. The incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit is very precious in the sight of God.

    ADORNMENT BEFITTING A CHRISTIAN "Do not let your adornment be merely outward--arranging the hair, wear-ing gold, or putting on fine apparel--rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God."
