We owe the promise of eternal life to the fact that Christ receiveth sinners.

CHRIST RECEIVETH SINNERS Luke 15:1-2 INTRO. (Describe the hypocrisy of the Pharisees.) They wished to monopolize religion for their own set group.

Christ, Our Hope

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Apr 11, 2004

A look at the arrest, trial, torture and resurrection of Christ

The images of Mel Gibson’s film are still fresh in my mind. I can see him being arrested in the Garden. I can see his trial and the brutal beating. I can see the crucifixion.

Second Chance In Christ Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 21, 2007

Deepening "whiles" become heightened "boasts". Weakness, sin, and enmity are our problems toward God. But in Christ there is help at the right time, conversion of consequences into positives, and sacrifical love for reconciliation.

“We have a problem here.” That phrase, in one form or another, runs through much of human history. We have a problem here. You know it, if you remember 1995, as almost what astronaut John Swigert said from Apollo 13. “Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” Changed a little and immortalized by ...read more

Exalt Christ In Everything Series

Contributed by David Welch on Feb 8, 2018

Second in a series on Philippians where Paul reveals the axis on which his whole life revolves -- Exalting Christ in everything.

REVIEW Given the extended use of the terms “joy” and “rejoice” in four short chapters (12), joy appears to be a central focus of Paul’s letter to the Jesus followers living in the Greek city of Philippi. That is interesting given considerable space also dedicated to the subject of suffering. My ...read more

Christ Our Comforter Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Sep 23, 2004

Suffering is a common human experience. But it doesn’t have to stop us ministering for God. In fact God can use our experience of suffering to help others by the way we offer them the support that we have received from God.

This week I’ve been listening to a series of lectures on depression by Arch Hart, who’s Professor of Psychology at Fuller Seminary in the US.
