Dead To The World

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Nov 11, 2019

During the Last Supper, Jesus tells disciples that they are not of this world. And in the epistles, we see that Christians are dead to sin. In this message, we look at what it means to be dead but spiritually alive.

Dead To The World Let’s open with John 18:36. Jesus has been arrested and is being questioned by Pilate. “Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from ...read more

The Attitude Of The Heart

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Nov 24, 2019

It’s in those times of trial, we are still to be thankful! The times we experience in the valleys of life, when we feel like all we have to hang onto is God. Those are the times we should realize the only thing we have ever had to hang onto is God!
