    based on 14 ratings
     | 7,928 views

    Ephesians 4 tells us that Christianity is exclusive in that it worships an exclusive God. Understand that there is only one true God, Who wrote only one book, has only one begotten Son, and only one plan of salvation.

    The Exclusiveness of God Ephesians 4:1-6 There has been a trend in America today to have churches become all-inclusive and embrace or incorporate the teachings of other faiths into Christianity.

     | 1,477 views

    This message gives a survey of the events leading up to Pentecost and the command from the Lord Jesus to preach the Gospel to everyone. This is an adaptation of a message from the 1995 edition of the Zondervan's Pastor's Annual. It needed no update, for the Word of God is eternal.

    The disciples were made up of men who had been called from their chosen professions to follow Jesus of Nazareth. Having left all, it must have seemed to them that at the crucifixion of Jesus they had lost all. Following the admonition of their Lord, whom they saw disappear into the clouds, they ...read more

I understand clearly that He has a plan for me, I also understand that He can’t “download” the plan into my spirit, and ultimately, my life if I am not ready to receive it and walk in it. ...read more
