Dos And Don'ts Of Salvation

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 22, 2021

A defibrillator can’t save someone while it’s in its cabinet. It has to be taken down and operated. In the same way, Jesus’ death and resurrection don’t save a person unless a person makes use of them. A person has to respond to them. There are some 'dos' and 'don'ts'.

In recent years something new has appeared on many high streets: defibrillators. Defibrillators can be life-savers if someone suffers a heart attack. They aren’t only on high streets, of course. I like to do ‘Park Run’ (when it’s happening!) and lots of Park Runs have defibrillators. You often ...read more

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Jan 6, 2020

As Christians go wherever and do whatever in the name of Jesus, we must discipline ourselves to stay focused on God's purpose for calling us into His service and never forget the essentials of God's message of salvation.

GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY IN SALVATION Acts 8:26-39 I hardly ever use pop culture references in my sermons.

Contributed by Stephen Wright on Nov 13, 2005

Can true Christians sin so as to loose all hope of restoration?

Glory In The Cross

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 30, 2022

When it comes to salvation, can we boast about anything? The Apostle Paul chose to boast about just one thing, and it had nothing to do with himself.

The book of Galatians was written by the Apostle Paul to combat false teaching that the Galatian Christians had believed. Paul says to them, “who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth?” The Judaizers were the culprits, stating that circumcision was essential for salvation along with ...read more

You Must Be Born Again Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 2, 2024

Jesus tells Nicodemus the most essential teaching in the Bible. That essential teaching is the new birth in Christ. There will be a lot of things demanding your attention, but this, being born again, you cannot afford to neglect.

When John Wesley began a series of evangelistic meetings, he preached from John Chapter 3, You Must be Born Again. As the meetings went on people realized he was preaching that same message over and over. Someone asked him, when are you going to move on to something different? His answer, as soon ...read more
