     | 8,009 views

    Paul and James agree. Faith works. How? Here's where we need both of these to help us understand.

    Romans 3:21-28 Ephesians 2:1-10 James 2:14-26 What is going on here? Are Paul and James contradicting one another? Does James hold a gospel that teaches justification by faith with works while Paul’s gospel teaches justification by faith without works? Because James is so strong on works ...read more

    Greetings in the Holy Name of Jesus, My brothers and sisters what is it that you want from a scary world of death and desolation; wastes and destructions; but to keep safe, my love?

Ragan-Reid (3/17/2019) “And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound “ (St. Luke 15:27, King James Version [The prodigal son]).

    There is a belief within the church that the Creator God has a perfect will with as many as six permissive variations

    There is a belief within the church that the Creator God has a perfect will with many permissive variations that purposely 'allows' horrible things such as sickness and disease to happen to those who He created in His image and likeness (James 3:9). "And be not conformed to this ...read more

    The Personification Of Truth Vs. The Pettiness Of Skepticism

    The drama of redemption continued as the Lord Jesus, having faced an illegal trial by the religious authorities of Israel, now faced the representative of political authority in Israel, Pontius Pilate, and the conversation he had with the true Authority.

    John 18:28-40 records the probable final conversation that the Lord Jesus has with another person before he was led off to be crucified. He had a dialogue with the Roman governor of the Judean province, Pontius Pilate, and we also see that these two men had opposing agendas. Pilate comes across ...read more

    Being a leader there are many philosophical concerns that I wrestle with: Where does my emphasis belong? How do I balance all my responsibilities? How do I balance evangelism and discipleship?

    Godly Men

     | 11,036 views

    There are many men today that are living godless lives and not even thinking about it. But why? Being godly is not for the week. Being godly is a lifestyle for every manly man in Christ.

    1 Corinthians 16:13 ESV Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. There are many men today that are living godless lives and not even thinking about it. But why? The reality is that for many men, although they would not dare say this, godliness is useless! I wholeheartedly ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,515 views

    Present generations can choose to follow the Lord despite the ridiculous or ungodly example of their forefathers. The Psalmist gives us advice to help us do so.

    Breaking the Cycle (Psalm 78) 1. A couple decided to go to Cyprus for the weekend, but because they both worked it was hard to coordinate their diaries. So they decided the husband would go a day early, and his wife would join him the following day. On arriving, the husband thought he would email ...read more

    A Reformation sermon focussing on Martin Luther's great discovery that God is for something, being a graceful and merciful God and not just against people and things.

    A question I would like us to think about as God’s church today How do the people you mix with view Christianity today? How does the media view Christianity today? Do they see Christians as ambassadors of God bearing His grace and being generous with His love? or do they see Christianity as ...read more

    When is religious authority right and wrong? How should we behave in an imperfect church? Should we quit church and return to the devil or stay and be a force for good?

    Prelude When is religious authority right and wrong? How should we behave in an imperfect church? Should we quit church and return to the devil or stay and be a force for good?

    Father, Son And Holy Spirit: Practical Implications Of The Triune God

    Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Jun 18, 2017
     | 9,659 views

    The doctrine, importance and value of the triune God is incalculable for born-again Christians. Denying this doctrine rejects the whole of Christianity.

    Humorist Garrison Keillor, host of the radio show “A Prairie Home Companion,” said this of love: “We should not think that we have figured this out, because it is not a problem, it’s a mystery and always will be.” “It is not a problem, it’s a mystery, and always will be.” We’ve become so advanced ...read more

    Getting Even Somehow Series

     | 4,585 views

    The emotion that wells up within us to “get even” is about control, consequences, and vindication. Relational issues are never JUST relational issues!

    Getting Even Somehow (Proverbs 25:21-24) 1. Nobody likes a power outage. You may light oil lamps or use LED lanterns. 2. You enter a room, try to turn on a light switch. There is a lot of psychology there. 3. This is even true of an internet our computer outage. We have become so dependent ...read more

    Today we will talk about how God has designed each of us in our own unique way. We will discover that sometimes we have to search for purpose before we can live it and we will talk about “Playing in the Sand”.

    ¥ I use everyday life illustrations because I want us to understand that God is trying to communicate with us everyday! There is a message from God in almost everything that we see, touch, taste, smell or feel. God is everywhere just waiting for His creation to cry out for its Creator! Psalms 19:1 ...read more
