    The Standard Of Justification

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 1, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,983 views

    Jesus met a lawyer trying to justify himself as being good enough for heaven. This message looks at two standards: Our standard of righteousness (or right living), which is the Law; and our standard of justification, which is Jesus.

    I’ve entitled our message this evening “The Standard of Justification.” So, what is the standard by which we are justified before God and made free to enter heaven when we die? There are actually two standards that we’ll discover: One is our standard of righteousness (or right living), which is ...read more

    Did The Tribulation Just Begin?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 2, 2020
     | 6,127 views

    In these times of lockdown, some have begun to imagine that the Great Tribulation just began. Rather than focusing on such idle speculation, the Word of God would encourage us to shine brightly in difficult times to turn many to righteousness.

    “Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, ‘There is peace and security,’ then sudden destruction will come upon ...read more

    Worship The Lord

    The horrifying scenes of the chaotic events at the US Capitol. These disturbing scenes are reminiscent of the heart-breaking words of the prophet Isaiah “Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands afar off; … truth is fallen in the street, …” (Isaiah 59:14).

    I wish to give credit to Dr. S. M Lockridge for the rhetorical and literary devices as well as some basic ideas and content that I employ in this message. My message is titled: “The New Person (Man or Woman) for the Future will worship the Lord.” Our Text today is Matthew 4:8-10: “8 Again, the ...read more

    Do You Really Have Faith?

    Contributed by James May on Mar 17, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 14,248 views

    Faith is pure trust in the ability and will of God to perform his promises in your life. We prove our faith is alive through works of righteousness. Just believe, hear and obey His Word and leave the rest to the Lord.

    Do You Really Have Faith? Sunday, March 17, 2019 By Rev James May Let us begin this morning by reading a very familiar verse to anyone who is a Christian. I know you’ve read this very often and yet its true meaning is often elusive, leaving you to think about what it says, and to consider how it ...read more

    The Real Road Less Traveled

    Contributed by Rodney Fry on Aug 15, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,396 views

    The road less traveled isn’t found in any woods. The road of righteousness is the road less traveled. Psalm 15 only has five verses, but contains powerful teaching that can guide us down this road.

    The Real Road Less Traveled Scripture: Psalm 15, especially verses 1–2 LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill? He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous … (NIV). Introduction: The road less traveled isn’t found in any woods. The road of righteousness ...read more

    The Spirit Of Judgmentalism Series

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 7, 2021
     | 1,359 views

    A popular mantra today is to exaggerate how we should apply Jesus’ caution against judgmentalism, by not even righteously judging evil lifestyles. Let's look at what Jesus actually taught about judging.

    A popular mantra today is to exaggerate how we should apply Jesus’ caution against judgmentalism, by not even righteously judging evil lifestyles. “Judge not, that you be not judged… Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? …” ...read more

    Get Your Mind Right (With The Help Of God)

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 11, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,339 views

    Philippians 4:8 calls us to think upon such things as truth, nobility, righteousness, purity, loveliness, etc. Why? What help will that be to the Christian. More importantly, what help will that be for the Kingdom of God in drawing others to Jesus?

    Please open your Bibles to Philippians 4:4-9 which we will read in a few minutes. Our new memory verse is actually a follow-on to one of our earlier memory Scriptures; Philippians 4:6-7. “Finally, Brothers (or Brethren) …” Newer versions have “brothers and sisters”. Why? We who have grown up on ...read more

    Romans Chapter 3 Verses 19-23 - Messages In Romans – Was The Law Of Moses Able To Fix Man’s Problems? Help Us! - Message 11 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 20, 2023
     | 1,135 views

    Paul shows that justification can not come from the Law of Moses, but the righteousness of God is known through faith. We work through these Roman verses and see them all brought together in the powerful Romans 3:23.

    ROMANS CHAPTER 3 VERSES 19-23 - MESSAGES IN ROMANS – WAS THE LAW OF MOSES ABLE TO FIX MAN’S PROBLEMS? HELP US! - MESSAGE 11 [A].

    Imprisoned Angels Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Sep 4, 2023
     | 1,160 views

    The angels were created by God as holy, honourable, and higher rank than human beings. They were created in perfect happiness and righteousness. The doubts and unbelief lead to a fall from the grace of God and eventually result in the destruction of the soul.

    Jude 1:6 - Imprisoned Angels Jude 1:6 “And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day.” Domain of Angles: The angels were created by God as holy, honourable, and higher rank ...read more

    Don't Judge Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 5, 2022
     | 2,507 views

    God does not give human beings authority to judge the righteousness of others using our preferences as the standard. None of us are perfectly righteous ourselves. We are in no position to pronounce judgment because we can be guilty of sin.

    Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 7:1-6 NIV (Don't Judge) 1 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no ...read more

    Holiness is not limited to our actions but is also reflected in our words. Communication is a powerful tool that can build up or tear down. As believers, we are called to ensure that our words align with God’s standards of righteousness.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 25, 2025
     | 233 views

    We take up the matter of the sin nature to combat an error. How do the righteousness and justice and forgiveness of God interact? Do I actually have a sinful nature causing me to sin, or is the world responsible for sinfulness?
