    The Lord commands His people to go into all the world and to preach the gospel to every creature, but in spite of this, we stay put at the light. We do not go. We do not preach the gospel. This lesson reminds us of our calling as disciples of Christ.

    We have all been there… We are sitting at a red light for a few minutes… After what seems like forever, the light FINALLY turns green. But unfortunately, the person in front of us did not see it turn green. They are talking on the phone or texting. They may be focused on talking to ...read more

    Christians need to interact with the world to reach the world with the gospel. They need to be good citizens of a generally hostile system without compromising their faith.

    TITUS 3: 1-7 RENEWED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT [Romans 13:1-7] Christians have been changed and are different than we once were, yet we still need to be reminded of who we are and what has been done to us and how it was done.

    based on 7 ratings
     | 13,248 views

    Jesus associated with sinners because their repentance brings great joy to heaven. The parables’ drama is built on the tension of an attempt to find what is lost. If the lost were important to Jesus, they should be important to His disciples.

    LUKE 15: 1-10 [PARABLES IN LUKE] SEEKING SINNERS [Jesus, Friend of Sinners] Why seek sinners? Chapter 15 contains three linked parables that explain why Jesus associates with sinners. Jesus associated with sinners who recognized their need of salvation and because their repentance brings ...read more

    The identity of the Holy Spirit can be misunderstood at times. This sermon deals with the Holy Spirit identifying himself.

    There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about the Holy Spirit, who He is, and what his role is. We have a rather clear understanding of God, the Heavenly Father and Jesus, our Savoir. However the Holy Spirit can become controversial in his role. First of all the Holy Spirit is a real person. ...read more
