I Want To Be Like Jesus

Contributed by Nettie J Pennington on Apr 15, 2025

Big Idea: God does not lie; He said, “Be holy, for I am holy" (1 Pet. 1:16, NKJV).

I Want to Be Like Jesus As we look around at the growing influence of chaos and evil, it could be easy to keep silent, give up, and accept that being holy is impossible, even though Scripture guides us to be like the Lord. In that moment of doubt, we remember the Bereans. Luke admired their ...read more

Why Christians Do Not Continue In Sin (2of 3)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

A man who had been sick was recently asked how he was feeling.

He responded by saying that he was not feeling good. He went on to say, “In fact. I felt so bad this morning, that I looked in the obituary column to see if my name was there.” He said this as a joke, but the fact is, many Christians have not yet come to understand that their name is in the ...read more

Why Christians Do Not Continue In Sin (3 Of 3)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

While justification has declared us righteous, and we have received a new nature, it did not eradicate our ability to sin.

As Christians, we must be aware that we not only have been given the “new nature” from God, but that the old Adamic nature that we were born with, lies there ready to rise up at any time. HOW CAN WE LIVE A VICTORIOUS LIFE OVER SIN? As chapters 1-5 have taught us, we, who are saved by faith, now ...read more

Be Killing Sin Series

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 5, 2022

There are at least four core commitments for Christian living. The first is to abide in the Word. The second is to pray your heart out. And the third is to be killing sin.

ARE YOU READY? HOW MANY TIMES, do you think, have you been asked that question? Back in 1965, The Impressions released their album, People Get Ready, with its title song of the same name. It immediately rose to number three on the charts. So powerful was the song that it became a classic of the ...read more

The Lord Who Sanctifies

Contributed by Les Buttolph on Jul 24, 2023

We are sanctified (set apart) on our Way Forward by the Lord, M'Kaddesh

I’ve been using the parallel between Israel leaving Egypt, to our departure from the UMC, and their entrance into the Promised Land, as our joining the GMC.

Let God Do The Finger Pointing

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 7, 2023

If finger pointing is impolite and it is so often connected to self-centered, sinful behavior why does God do it? God does this so that when sinners see their lost condition he can point them to the cross of his Son. There forgiveness is found. There salvation and eternal life are offered.

“Finger pointing.” What thoughts do those two words bring to your mind? For the most part they are probably negative thoughts. At a very early age we are taught not to point at people. It’s considered impolite. As we get older we experience finger pointing in many different ways. If we had ...read more

Set Apart By Jesus

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 17, 2023

Much like the plague, sin spreads and ravages people's lives. Even though God provides a divine remedy to sin, most people are unaware of how it works.

Going viral is a common phrase nowadays that is used for sharing something through email or social media that quickly spreads to thousands or even millions of people online. While it may be a piece of news, a fad, or something funny, most things that go viral on the internet are harmless and go ...read more

There are three distinct aspects of salvation: justification, sanctification, and glorification. This message will give details of each.

For the past few weeks we have been talking about being set apart from the rest of the world. We are set apart because we are Holy as we work at becoming as much like God as we can. In this process we are sanctified, or in the process of being sanctified. That's the direction that we're ...read more
