    Last in this series on The Da Vinci Code. Doesn’t deal with the book itself, per se, but rather the issue of secular input into our lives.

    Paul gives us some things that will help us to grow in Christ. This is a process, we do our part, God does His!

    Intro: Romans 1:15—Paul states he was eager to preach the cross. Everywhere he went his message included the cross. Why was he so persistent in preaching this subject?

     | 13,647 views

    Since Christ was fully devoted to us, is it too much for Him to expect full devotion from us?

    In the distance I see a cross. This is not an unusual sight. Crucifixion is the Roman’s favorite method of execution. I have walked by many crucifixions at this same spot. But a larger than normal crowd has gathered to witness this cross. I wonder why so many people are interested in the ...read more

    Keeping religious rules and observing religious rituals in order to be close to God are only a shadow of the "real thing," a relationship with Him through Jesus.

    INTRODUCTION In the time of the early church, there were people in the churches who were teaching that once you became a Christian, you still had to obey the Jewish regulations and rituals to be religiously correct. That kind of false teaching still exists in the 21st century. In this series I’m ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Mcleod on Oct 19, 2006
    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,837 views

    If we think we can live the Christian life by following rules and forgetting about loving others, we have missed the point. The Christian life can be summed up in one word: love.

    “Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ” (Col. 2:16-17). Background I. God does not want you to ...read more
