The Son’s Gift Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Dec 9, 2010

Christ gives every believer the Holy Spirit who delivers us from the penalty and power of sin, dwells within us to give us a different attitude and destiny, and directs us to intimacy with our Heavenly Father. This is the true Spirit of Christmas.

How To Meditate The Word Of God

Contributed by Wincci Yin Chee on Jun 1, 2006

Sheep Do Sheepy Things, Goats Do Goaty Things

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Aug 12, 2018

Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. How then, can Jesus link our eternal destinies as "sheep" or "goats" to what we have done; i.e., whether we have served one another?

All right. Everybody buckled up? Good. We may get jostled about a bit this morning, but our destination will be worth the drive. Let’s start with a question.

Almost Slipped: Finding Your Footing In A World That Isn't Fair

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Sep 4, 2025

This psalm is a brutally honest account of a faith crisis, showing that when we're tempted to envy the wicked, the cure is found not in understanding their prosperity, but in seeing their ultimate destiny from the eternal perspective we gain in God's presence.
