We Are Born To Rule Series

Compromised Gospel

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 10, 2023

Abundant Grace

Contributed by Mark Lindsey on Aug 29, 2022

Often, we, like the Corinthian believers, fail to remember the abundant grace which has been given to us through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We look more like the culture around us than the nature of Christ within us.

“Abundant Grace” Acts 18:1-11; 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 Each one of us who are followers of Jesus Christ are experiencing the abundant grace of God. Your salvation has three stages: past, present, and future. The theological terms are justification, sanctification, and glorification. The moment you ...read more

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 18, 2023

We find help from Colossians 1:15-23. There was a similar situation in Colosse. There were false teaching and beliefs spreading that discounted the nature of Jesus. There were weak testimonies among them. In Colossians 1:15-23 Paul establishes Jesus supreme.
