    The Rescue: Alive By Grace Series

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Oct 12, 2025
     | 217 views

    This sermon explains that because of His great mercy and love, God rescued us from spiritual death by uniting us with Christ in His resurrection and enthronement, saving us by grace through faith alone, in order to make us His masterpiece, created for good works.

    Introduction Last week, we ended our time together in a very dark place. We used the analogy of a shipwreck, leaving us spiritually dead, floating helplessly in a sea of sin, captive to the currents of the world, the flesh, and the devil, with our certain destination being the just wrath of God. ...read more

    New Testament Legalism Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,279 views

    Message expounds Philippians 3:1-7 explaining the problem of Legalism as defined by the New Testament. The ceremonial law in the Old Covenant was fulfilled in Christ and is not required of believers. The moral law is reiterated in the New Covenant.

    We are in a study of Philippians. Our text today is Philippians 3:1-7. Last week we talked from that text about the value of warnings. God warns us because He loves us. Like a loving parent He guides us away from danger into a meaningful life of blessings. To despise God’s warnings is one of the ...read more

    Who has not heard of the “Whopper” or a Baconator! When it comes to food, we do not want to become hungry. Moreover, if we do become hungry our body lets us know it – THE GROWL and we are off to the fridge, looking in the cabinets or diving into the cooki

    This is for people who are searching for something in their life and they are unsure of what it is.

    Did you know that you were a “searcher”? That’s also the way the Bible describes the human condition - our condition - yours and mine. We are searchers, on the move, wandering and looking. The Old Testament is filled with marvelous stories of searchers. Abraham and Sarah left their home to ...read more

    We who follow Christ are responsible to present the message of grace at every opportunity. Many will dismiss our message as foolish talk. We must honestly present the truth to such people, refusing to give up our stand for the truth.

    “As [Paul] was saying these things in his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, ‘Paul, you are out of your mind; your great learning is driving you out of your mind.’ But Paul said, ‘I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but I am speaking true and rational words.
