    Working Out Our Salvation Series

    Contributed by Steve Bond on Oct 30, 2007
     | 5,698 views

    Scripture teaches the Christian life involves both God’s sovereignty and human responsibility. It’s not one or the other; it’s both.

    From the earliest days of the church, the relationship between the sovereignty of God and the responsibility of believers has been debated.

    See what it means to be a first-hand follower and how that can persuade second-hand skeptics.

    “The Second-Hand Syndrome” Luke 24:1-12 The more I analyze and scrutinize the Gospel, the more I am amazed that people don’t believe it. It is historical, evidential, logical, and personal.

    Don’t let the mystery and the power of the cross ever be substituted for anything less. Not the law, not wisdom - just the power of the cross.

    Title: How to not love God Text: 1 Cor 1:17 – 31 MP: As unreasonable as it is, the cross is still more powerful than any sign or logic It’s always dangerous to use a Monty Python sketch to bring out the truth of a Scripture, but in this case, you’ll see, the shoe fits. But, seeing as this ...read more
