Repentance: The Forgotten Fruit Of God's Grace

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Oct 31, 2008

People look at the church and cry superficial. Why is that? I believe because it is we have forgotten that saving faith leads to repentant lives. One fruit that has fallen off the faith tree is repentance.

Intro: There are people that look at the church today and cry hypocrites. One reason is they don’t understand we are sinners that are saved by grace. It is the grace of God that makes us saints not the acts of men. Another reason is that the church has become superficial! Paul told timothy ...read more

Confessing To One Another Series

Contributed by Clark Tanner on Nov 16, 2000

An incomprehensive study of the 'one another' verses. Part 7

When I chose this topic as the final installment of our study on the ‘one another’ verses, it was chosen as last only by virtue of where it fell in the New Testament.

Confessions Of A Sissy Preacher

Contributed by Michael Bell on Oct 18, 2000

The prophet Jeremiah implicitly revealed the responsibilities of the true preacher.

Intro One of the pitfalls a preacher or teacher of the Bible can run into is to always read the Bible looking for sermons or a Sunday School Lesson.

Witness: Confesses #4 Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Oct 24, 2019

our largest tool for sharing the gospel has been thwarted by our willingness to so assimilate into the culture we don’t look like any different or welcome the challenge of criticism or debate for what we believe. We’d prefer to live anonymously.

We began a conversation three weeks ago about what gives us meaning in this life and I suggested that the question is actually a mute point for those who call themselves Christian because if we believe that Christ came, died and rose again then we must also live out this reality. To live out this ...read more

Moses, the great leader of God's people, wasn't allowed, because of sin, to go into the promised ...read more
