    What To Do If Salvation Stops Saving (Updated)

    Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on Mar 6, 2025
     | 414 views

    Many can mark the day of their salvation. At some point they saw the need to ask for help from above and Jesus Yeshua heard their prayer and sent the gift of the Holy Spirit. However life doesn’t always provide us safe passage and a worldly or even religious mindset can interrupt a sure salvation.

    The Contract Welcome Mr. Ross. How can my legal office be of service to you? I have signed my name to a contract and would like to be released from it. What is the contract pertaining too? Well…ah…it’s my salvation contract. Your salvation contract? That’s very interesting; do you have the document ...read more

    Imitating Christ’s Humility

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Feb 28, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 14,475 views

    Humility and humility is defined in the model of Christ. That's the pattern we have to follow, people. There are no shortcuts, no quick fixes. We'll have unity when we have humility, we'll have humility when we do like Christ did, and we come all the way down.

    Opening illustration: Bill, a college student, was a new Christian. According to author Rebecca Manley Pippert, one Sunday he visited a church near campus. He walked in barefoot and was wearing a T-shirt and jeans. The service had already started, so he walked down the aisle looking for a seat. ...read more

    Doomsday Shadow

    What is happening in Christendom today is not an aberration in the history of the church, nor is it irrelevant in respect to what will happen tomorrow. What we do today will have a major impact on the Christianity of our children and our grandchildren.

    DOOMSDAY SHADOW ILLUSTRATION As the pastor was summing up the messages and information portion of the morning service he remarked that all church leaders and administrative personnel needed to attend a meeting Thursday evening. It was imperative that they attend. When Thursday evening rolled ...read more

    Laughter

     | 8,170 views

    Today we are going to talk about “Laughter.” If we define laughter, we might say it is the quick breath resulting in a series of short vowel-like sounds usually "ha-ha," "ho-ho" or "hee-hee" which we call laughter.

    Laughter “Then was our mouth filled with laughter.” Psalm 126:2 “He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh.” —Psalm 2:4 Intro: A elderly couple were home The wife softly said to her husband Do you remember when we used to just sit and you would hold my hand The man reached over and held her ...read more

    Only in and through Jesus can we be saved, and our sins be forgiven. There is power and authority in the name of Jesus, and only if we comprehend this in its fullest can we actualize it in our lives.

    We read in Exodus 20:7,"Never use the name of the LORD your God carelessly. The LORD will make sure that anyone who carelessly uses his name will be punished.” (GW) We have been studying in details as to how the moral laws of God as given in the Old Testament, are still applicable to ...read more

    Defending The Faith Series

    Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on May 20, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 676 views

    In the opening verses of Jude, we’re reminded that following Christ means embracing a new identity—one marked by complete submission and ownership by Jesus. This message calls the Church to stay alert and defend the faith from subtle internal threats that distort grace and divide the body.

    It’s the end of June of 2023. Crazy, isn’t it? Well I guess not really - that’s how time works. But, May 1st of this year marked half a decade that I’ve been here at New Hope, and in fact, this month, although it’s almost over, marks exactly 2 full years since I’ve started preaching here. Kind of a ...read more

    The tru test of worship is a willingness to give God our very best.

    Verses 1 and 2 constructs a tapestry of sorts to draw the reader into the events that were taking place in the backdrop of setting of the little house in Bethany.

    God has a divine health plan that will bring healing and wholeness to every part of an individual’s life and it’s called the church, “The Body of Christ.” This health plan originated in the loving heart of my God and you’re God “Abba” Father. His assigne

    Talking with Jesus changed people’s lives in the Bible. Have you talked to Jesus this week? Has it changed your life? We need to make time to talk to Jesus and learn from His conversations with others in the Bible because it has the potential to transform our own lives

    Theme: Let’s Talk Summary: Over the last few months we have explored conversations that Jesus had with others. I believe we have learned things about Jesus we never knew.

    Giving Him Something He Can Feel

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 31, 2022
     | 2,293 views

    Faith in Jesus as the Saviour, even if that faith is not yet perfect, is honoured by the Lord. The message serves to encourage all to look to Jesus for mercy, which He gives to all who come to Him in faith.

    “And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, ‘Who touched my garments?’” [1] How sensitive are you? I don’t mean, are you woke. Neither am I particularly thinking of whether you are able to feel the pain of another. But, I ...read more

    En la Escritura se establecen los fundamentos y cimientos de nuestra sexualidad humana, y que estos, no cambian de cultura en cultura, de época en época o de persona en persona.

    A mi generación todavía le tocó crecer con el tema del sexo como algo tabú en las familias. Comenzaba a despertar la consciencia de la educación sexual o de estar informados sobre la sexualidad, pero aun así eran muy escasos los padres que hablaban de estos temas con ...read more

    Wrong About Religion

     | 700 views

    If we focus on our tenets to the exclusion of focusing on the will of the Lord, we are in danger of drifting into Pharisaical Religion. If we allow this to happen, we will displease the Lord and oppose Him.

    “When the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem, they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed. (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands properly, holding to the tradition of the ...read more
