    A Change In James

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on May 26, 2009
    based on 14 ratings
     | 4,963 views

    Using the change seen in Jesus’ brother James, we show how that affects our changing & growing walk with Christ today.

    No matter where you are in your walk with Christ, you did not just suddenly appear there. No, you started as we all start; becoming aware of a need inside your heart that you probably could not explain. Then, you became aware of Jesus Christ, the One known as the Savior and how He could give ...read more

    The Rewards Of Repentance

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Sep 29, 2015
     | 5,856 views

    The sinner must repent before they receive salvation. Those who are saved must practice repentance if they are to enjoy unbroken fellowship with God. Repentance is both negative and positive – turning away from sin – turning to God.

    THE REWARDS OF REPENTANCE Matthew 3:1-3 In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the Desert of Judea 2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." 3 This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: "A voice of one calling in the desert, 'Prepare the way for the ...read more

    God's gift of grace is generously showered upon all, but if we do not receive that grace and allow it to change us, we can miss out on the abundant life of salvation.

    Let me begin by acknowledging what we are all thinking…we don’t like this parable. This is one teaching from Jesus that we would rather just skip right over; and we often do! We like to hear about how much God loves us, and about how Jesus died for our sins. We like to be affirmed that ...read more
