    The Proof Is In The "Putting" Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Jan 11, 2016
     | 5,235 views

    Jesus offers us a costly freedom from our enslavement to sin. It cost his life and ours. When we live obedient lives, we learn the truth of God and enjoy his freedom. The proof of our discipleship is seen by what we "put off" and "put on" in our lives.

    1. Braveheart In the movie Braveheart Mel Gibson plays the role of a man from Scotland whose name was William Wallace. Wallace was trying to win Scotland's freedom from the cruel rule of the King of England, Longshank. His hatred for both Scotland and Wallace grew as Wallace won many victories ...read more

It spoke about a lady who was attracted to 2 men at the same time. In the lyrics she tells one of them, 'It ...read more

     | 3,651 views

    Looking at sin and wrong reactions to sin. And then David's repentance to his sin.

    I have been meditating on sin and our reactions to sin over this last week. What Ever Happened to Sin? R.C. Sproul put it this way: “We are not sinners because we sin; we sin because we are sinners.” The heart or mind of a person is already polluted with something that is opposed to the authority ...read more

    Don't fret or worry about the trials of life, people that live for God WILL have tribulation....but we live by FAITH!

    Habakkuk 1:2 "O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! [even] cry out unto thee [of] violence, and thou wilt not save!" This is a plea to God to hear his prayers. He sees the injustice around him, and does not understand why God is not punishing those involved. We have all, at ...read more

    His Law Cannot Make Him Righteous Series

     | 4,744 views

    The Jew trusted his law to be all that he needed and the best education he could get. Thus he boasted in the God who gave that law. There is no doubt that many Jews felt they were immune from God’s judgment.

    (8) HIS LAW CANNOT MAKE HIM RIGHTEOUS Romans 2:17-24 17 Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your boast in God, Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law.

    A sermon for the New Year.

    "How Will We Serve Christ in 2016?" Matthew 25:31-45 I think this is a very appropriate passage of Scripture to look at as we come to the end of a year, and prepare for a new one. The reason I say this is that Jesus is filling in the metaphors of the parables that come before it. "This is ...read more

What once filled the skyline becomes reduced to a pile of rubble. The story of King Saul’s utter demise unfolds in 1 ...read more
