    The Sin And Salvation Of A Self-Made Man Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 4, 2021
     | 2,229 views

    Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, was a legend in his own mind. Hear the testimony of a self-made man who was humbled and finally proclaimed Daniel's God as the God all in His kingdom were to worship.

    Many of us here today are familiar Charles Colson, not so much because of who he was, but who he came to be. You see, originally, Charles Colson was the proverbial self-made man. By his mid-thirties he had founded a great law firm that was influential in both Boston and New York. And in his ...read more

    The Fall And Rise Of Humanity

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jan 17, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,760 views

    Today's message looks at "The Fall of Humanity." But it moves beyond to look at humanity's rise once again. It also looks at the process of temptation, including questioning and denying God's word, and how that leads to misinterpreting God's motives in giving His word.

    The Fall and Rise of Humanity Genesis 3:1-11 ** Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_D8NkKbwGI At the end of last year, the Lord laid on my heart the word, “remnant” and the “remnant church,” and began to show me what the remnant church was going to look like.

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,354 views

    Life is often a matter of focus? As we follow Christ, we can focus on the struggles and persecution we might endure. Or we can focus on the benefits, eternal and glorious, of continuing to follow Christ. Hebrews 2 encourages us to do the latter.

    The Cost of Abandoning Christ Hebrews 2:5-14 A few years ago we had what we called a water bottle outreach at Lazy 5 Recreational Area. It was during one of the music festivals they used to have there, before Covid, on weekday summer evenings. We would hand out water bottles and invitations to ...read more

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Dec 9, 2019
     | 4,653 views

    Today we start chapter six. Throughout chapter five we saw the phrase, "you have heard it was said". Jesus no longer starts out that way. Jesus isn't challenging contradictory teachings but contradictory practices. Today's lesson is on why we do good deeds.
