Why should we read the Bible and why should we read it regularly?

Christians & Antichrists Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Dec 2, 2012

The Christian who is real builds his life on truth, not superstition or lies. It is impossible to live a life that is truly spiritual by believing lies. That’s why it is essential to get our thinking right about Jesus Christ.

1 JOHN 2: 18-23 CHRISTIANS AND ANTICHRISTS Have you heard the statement, “It makes no difference what you believe, just as long as you are sincere!” That statement expresses the personal philosophy of many people today, but it’s doubtful whether most of those who make it have really thought it ...read more

The Gospel. Part 4: What Happens If We Reject Jesus?

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Nov 24, 2020

Without Jesus in our lives, sin takes hold; weeds start to grow up in the garden of our lives. But the consequences for eternity are much more serious. However, does scripture really lead us to expect the 'pains of hell for ever'?

Please note. The passage for this talk is Matthew 25:31-46, however the main focus of the talk is v.46. Part 4: What happens if we reject Jesus?

Are You Useful To God? Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 24, 2022

God does not want believers to isolate or insulate themselves from the world and those who are lost. Like salt, Christians are called to make the world tastier; and like light, believers will shine the brightest only in the darkest places.

Are you useful to God, or have you made yourself useless? When we come to know Jesus Christ, we are transformed into a holy instrument to be used by the Lord. We all have a purpose, but some of us choose to make ourselves useless by not allowing the Lord to touch us with His hand. To put it ...read more

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jan 2, 2022

The Cities of Refuge are a foreshadow of God’s plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. But how do they resemble Jesus as our refuge? We will explore their names and how they reveal the character of Jesus Christ. And when put together, they reveal how sufficient He is in providing that refuge.
