    Righteous By Faith

    Ask yourself, “Am I righteous?” Few people would answer with an unqualified “yes.” But if your answer is “yes,” and you believe that you are righteous through unblemished right living, I hope to show you righteousness lies elsewhere.

    Note: I have a short set of very simple PowerPoint slides that I will be happy to provide on request. They're very plain and have only the two equations mentioned plus a few of the major points in the sermon.

    Life is a lot like “bumper cars.” Do you want to bump those who bump you? That may be a fun strategy for bumper cars, but it’s a terrible strategy for life. Jesus shows us a better way!

    The Second Mile Is So Rewarding To Them That Know How.

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Feb 19, 2017
     | 5,777 views

    This sermon supports the understanding of humility, which used properly is one of the best weapons in a Christian’s arsenal; and that is by traveling a second mile on a difficult, lonely road; a road Jesus traveled, a road that he want us to travel.

    This sermon was delivered at Holy Trinity, Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland on Sunday the 19th February 2017; Holy Trinity is a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries. The readings for today are from: Leviticus 19:1-2,9-18 1 Corinthians 3:10-11,16-23 Matthew 5:38-48 Psalm ...read more
