    Both A Slave And Free

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Aug 5, 2025
     | 80 views

    We all want freedom, but in reality, we all serve a master. We are either God's servants or slaves to our sin. Join us this morning as we dig into Romans 6, and Paul's call to serve the Lord.

    Both a Slave and Free GOOD MORNING. Words can be a problem. They don’t always convey exactly what you are thinking, and that’s one reason Jesus uses parables to teach concepts and ideas rather than just saying words. Not only does it stick better, but it conveys feeling that goes beyond the words ...read more

    We are told many times over, we are to go and preach/teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but has anyone warned you of the possible situations you might be caught in trying to preach Christ and his crucifixion to a heathen world?

    Mt. 28:19-20, we know Jesus ordained the ‘Great Commission’. He said, ‘19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, ...read more

    A updated version of the first sermon I wrote on this.

    “What is Righteousness?” Matthew 1:18-25 What is the first image that pops into your head when you hear the word “righteous?” Do you think of some fire and brimstone preacher with a red face who points a finger at sinners and declares them guilty in the eyes of an angry god? Or do you think ...read more

    Once again here we are gathered on this glorious Easter morning to celebrate. But this is not just a meal of remembrance and celebration of a one-time event as is the Passover of old.

    This morning. We come together to celebrate Easter. We believe in and celebrate the empty tomb – the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. However, His resurrection, this most wonderous of all miracles, and all these worship services would mean nothing for us without the reason of the resurrection. ...read more

    The goodness of God and His never-ending love is not just ancient poetry—it is the Gospel truth that points us directly to Jesus Christ, crucified, risen, and reigning.

    So many of us for various reasons when we look at ourselves the image is distorted, but when we see ourselves through the eyes of the Father's love (when we make our Maker our mirror) that distortion is driven away.

    Seeing Yourself Through His Eyes #20/20 Vision Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all ...read more

    Jesus Christ picked a diverse group of original disciples to accomplish His divine purpose. Were they the crème de la crème of the Jewish religious leaders? Did they have special talents? Did they buy their way into the powerful, influential circle of this new Messiah?

    Disciples of Jesus According to Matthew Chapter 4, Jesus after leaving Nazareth went to Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah about the land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, ...read more

    Jesus’ handling of and interpretation of His witness at the seashore is a parable of our witness in shaky, stormy circumstances.

    A few weeks ago I caught the TV show, “America’s Funniest Videos.” You may know that on that show there are clips of poignant scenes from the human drama, as captured by someone’s home video camera. This particular clip caught my attention. A father was trying to show his small son how to fish, ...read more

    We cannot understand our own story until we understand how both Adam and Jesus have impacted the human race.

    The story of Adam is really our story. From the time of Adam until today the story of disobedience against God has been repeated again and again. In fact, the Hebrew name "Adam" simply means "mankind" or "humanity" because the story of Adam and Eve in the book of Genesis in the Bible is our story ...read more
