The Promise Of Jesus In Simeon

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Nov 30, 2023

Separating Sheep From Goats Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Nov 29, 2023

This sermon explores the Parable of the Sheep and Goats in Matthew's gospel, suggesting that it represents not the "End Times" but the inauguration of the Kingdom of God through Jesus' death, resurrection, and ascension.

What Is Holiness? (Leviticus 19-20) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Aug 27, 2024

Holiness is a common, fuzzy word. But basically it comes to the idea of "dedication." God is dedicated to his people; God expects them to mirror Him, and be dedicated to Him the same way.

Today, we are going to rabbit trail for just a week, and talk about holiness. One of the hardest things to explain in the entire Bible, in my opinion, is the idea of holiness. The Bible often tells us that God is holy, and when the Bible tells us this, it tends to be in very serious, weighty ...read more
