    Have you ever questioned your salvation? As long as we keep our trust totally in Christ, we stand assured of God’s promise of eternal life. But as soon as we rest any weight on the thin ice of our own efforts, we topple into insecurity.

    Have you ever wondered about your salvation; about whether or not you are going to heaven when you die? Some questions we might have are, “What am I supposed to do in order to gain God’s acceptance and love?” “Do I have to read the Bible all the way through?” “Do I have to knock on a million ...read more

    Legalism is potentially such a damaging, deceitful, and depressing way to view the Christian life.

    INTRO: I’ve tried to be very clear and practical at each point in this topic about what legalism is, what it does, and what it looks like. We spent the last message covering the statements a legalist might say, the specifics of legalism as far as the actual fundamental definitions of this way of ...read more

    Is This The False Prophet Of Revelation?

    Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on May 12, 2025
     | 147 views

    Bible prophecy is unfolding at a rapid rate. Besides events that align with end time prophecy we are also seeing men take their place on the world stage.

    Recently we saw the passing of the Pope and maybe the passing of a sacred religion. As we get closer to the time of the end there have been events that scream loudly that the Messiah is soon to appear. But do consider His soon return has the potential of cutting through the darkness of all faiths ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 1, 2024
     | 507 views

    The Galatians had exchanged the bondage of idolatry for the bondage of the Law. False teachers promise freedom but chain their adherents in bonds. Our freedom in Christ must be protected. Do not use your freedom as an excuse to sin.

    Once we used to live in worldliness, but our lives in Jesus are now different. This means we are dead to the old lifestyle and are now alive in Christ.

    Reviewing Col. 2:9-23, we realize that in Christ: Dwells all the fullness of the Godhead (verse 9), being the head of all principalities and power (10) We are complete (verse 10) We were circumcised spiritually – without hands, cutting off the works of the flesh – sin (verse 11) We died and ...read more

    Paul tells the Colossians they were dead. But what did he mean by dead? And how do we know if we are spiritually dead?

    The quality of mercy is not strain'd. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes.
