Not Just For Sundays Anymore Series

Contributed by Brian Vickers on Oct 26, 2022

Many in the church grew up with "Sunday only" forms of discipleship that were confined to the local church setting. But discipleship isn't just for Sundays.

For all my growing up and young adult years we equated the idea of discipleship with one thing: Sunday School. That meant that people came together on Sunday mornings, sat in classes mostly segregated by age groups, and learned about the Bible. Like we said a few weeks back, it was a Sunday thing. ...read more

Break Free From The Past

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 29, 2022

Paul explains true Christian behavior. The old nature is dead. We are to accept Jesus as our Savior and put on the new nature. When we let Christ in our hearts, He changes us into what we should be.

Look Up: In verses 1-4: “For ye are dead.” Simply put, we died. We should have little desire for this world and what it has to offer. Our old nature has been removed. We that have been born again are dead to sin; its dominion has been broken. Our real home is in Heaven with Jesus. -- John ...read more
