    The devil is always trying to gain a foothold in our life, and he begins his initial onslaught of attacks with the temptation to sin. Temptation "can" be overcome! We must overcome it, so we can refrain from committing sin.

    Satan is looking to pound on our weakest areas . . . When we leave an opening by yielding to temptation, he’ll take advantage. - Kent Crockett(1) In Ephesians 4:27, the Apostle Paul warned, “Do not give the devil a foothold” (NIV).

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,049 views

    In Acts 3:15, the Bible calls Jesus the “author of life.” It is of utmost importance that we realize that the origin of abundant life is Jesus Christ; and that His abundant life is everlasting, both now and in the age to come eternal.

    In Acts 3:15 Jesus Christ is called “the Prince of life.” Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10b). John 1:4 tells us, “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” 2 Peter 1:3 declares of Jesus that “His divine power has ...read more

     | 4,297 views

    Who may ascend the hill of the Lord and worship? The answer is those who are of the generation of Jacob. The term “Jacob” is a general classification for any generation in which many people turn to God and seek to worship Him.

    We’re going to begin our message tonight by reading through our passage of Scripture, which is Psalm 24:3-6: 3 Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place? 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully. ...read more

    When in Jesus' ministry of healing and teaching, he addresses the reality of the suffering that we experience and solves the root problem of our suffering - sin.

    It’s not uncommon for people to ask the question, “why do bad things happen to good people?” Or to state it another way, “if God is good, why do bad things happen?” It can sometimes feel like the worst things in life happen to some of the best people. At times it can feel like God is out to get ...read more

    Understanding the Lord’s purpose in giving the Law, using the Apostle Paul’s question, “why then the Law?” The sermon also touches indirectly on the issue of continuity and discontinuity.

    Why Then the Law? Τί οὖν ὁ νόμος; Galatians 3:19 (NA27INT) "Why then the Law?" (1). Was "added" because of transgressions. "The verb "added" indicates that the law was not primary in God’s dealings with sinners. The covenant and promises ...read more
