Real Reconciliation Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Nov 12, 2011

If we want real reconciliation and healing in our broken relationships, then we must confess our own sins to one another; we must forgive those who sinned against us; but none of that is possible until we truly believe that God is in control.

Stewart Ruch, a pastor in Wheaton, Illinois, talks about the “huge gap” between the ideal and the real in our everyday lives, using a family outing as an example. You see, every fall his family likes to go apple picking. Now, for the Ruch family, the ideal day for apple picking is ...read more

Sinner’s Prayer

Contributed by Glenn Abel on Jul 6, 2012

This sermon was preached in response to reading a book that attacked the idea and validity of using the sinner’s prayer.

"What About the Sinner’s Prayer?" Luke 18:10-13 The “sinner’s prayer” gets a bad rap.

The Inevitable Cleanup Job Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 5, 2009

Sin is inevitable and needs to be identified as the filth that is in all of us, and it needs to be acknowledged in the Christian community. But God loves us and cares for us and is in the blood of Christ cleaning us.

And if Freud was correct that all of our guilt can be tied to repression, why is it that our society of tolerance and acceptance ...read more
