    Galatians is all about grace and is the antidote to legalism. For Paul, it was about Christ crucified and his becoming a slave to Christ and not the Law.

    Paul uses the word, “paradise.” It is of Oriental or Persian origin, meaning “the upper reaches of the heavens.” Paul was taken where God and other heavenly beings’ dwell.

    WHAT IS HEAVEN LIKE? TEXT: II COR. 12:2-4 INTRODUCTION: I want to acknowledge Dr. John Barnett as an inspiration for this message, and for stimulating me to my own research on this topic. I didn’t quote him, but after viewing several of his YouTube sermon videos, some of his thoughts inevitably ...read more

    Dancing With Wolves

     | 1,230 views

    The false prophets dance around the cost of discipleship, but dancing slippers don’t suit the hard road that leads to the narrow gate, and the wolves never warn their people that they need hiking boots instead

    I am trying to navigate the theological tsunami that is threatening to permanently alter the face of our denomination. The amendments to the constitution regarding ordination standards, diversity, inclusiveness, interpretation of Scripture, and so on, are incredibly important to our identity as a ...read more

    Contributed by David Owens on Jan 15, 2024
     | 3,452 views

    God desires unity in the body of Christ, but unity is not easy or automatic. God creates the unity, but it is something that we must strive to keep. Humility, gentleness, patience and forbearance help us to do just that.

    A. I’m excited to begin a new sermon series this morning – a series that I am calling “7 Ones Equal Unity” and will be based on Ephesians 4:4-6. 1. Over the years, I have preached many sermons using verses from Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, including a sermon series on the entire letter back in ...read more
