    The Life That I Live

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 31, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,072 views

    Justification. By law, or by Jesus Christ?

    THE LIFE THAT I LIVE. Galatians 2:15-21. After giving his biographical testimony (Galatians 1:13-24; Galatians 2:1-10), including an account of his brief contention with Peter (Galatians 2:11-14), Paul appears now to particularly address the Jewish Christians in Galatia: especially the ...read more

    Love Your Neighbour

    Agape love as the fulfillment of the law.

    LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR. Romans 13:8-10. The imperative, “To no one nothing owe you (all), but to love one another” (Romans 13:8a) follows on from the discussion of being subject to ‘the powers that be’ who - whether we voted for them or not - are ‘ordained of God’ (cf. Romans 13:1). This ...read more

    "what's It All About?"

     | 4,914 views

    A sermon about the Law of Love.

    Matthew 22:34-40 “What’s It All About?” How can a person legitimately look into the face of an enemy and feel unqualified love? It is nearly impossible, is it not? And yet, Jesus tells us that this is what it means to be a Christ-follower. I’d say we live in a very "religious" ...read more

    The universal law against murder.

    ANGER AND RECONCILIATION. Matthew 5:20-26. MATTHEW 5:20. The disciples were warned that if their righteousness does not exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, then they will not enter into the kingdom of heaven! This is emphatic.

    The relationship between the law and the gospel.

    “Who Is My Neighbor?” The Story of the Good Samaritan is arguably Jesus’ best known parable. It’s so well-known that it has become a cliché’. A Good Samaritan is pretty much universally recognized as anyone who comes to the aid of another person. And while the parable is about that, ...read more

    Where do the Law and Mercy intersect with God and in Christianity

    Introduction ? 1 On a Sabbath, while he was going through the grainfields, his disciples plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. 2 But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?” 3 And Jesus answered them, “Have you not read ...read more

    The princess of Egypt knew that God’s law superseded the state’s law; and chose to act for compassion and justice.

    As I began this series of three messages on the theme, Designing Women, last week, I said that we were going to be looking for qualities of leadership out of the stories of those women mentioned in the roll call of faith known as the 11th chapter of Hebrews. You’ll remember that I pointed out ...read more

    Just as there are laws of nature that govern the universe, there are also moral and spiritual laws that God has written into His creation.

    Sowing And Reaping Genesis 8:22 - While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease. God has established some natural principles in His universe that are unbending. Certain things happen with consistency. When Isaac Newton observed ...read more

    30. Romans Chapter 7 Verses 7-14 - Messages In Romans – Gentiles Are Not Part Of Chapter 7 – Not The Battle Of The Two Natures - Message 30 Part 2 Of 3 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 15, 2025
     | 166 views

    The Law is examined here – the Law is holy and it is spiritual. Romans 7 is about a man under the Law trying to meet the standards of the Law but is defeated by his own sinfulness. Our verses bring this out. It has nothing to do with the Christian and his new nature fighting the old nature.

    30. Romans Chapter 7 Verses 7-14 - Messages In Romans – GENTILES ARE NOT PART OF CHAPTER 7 – NOT THE BATTLE OF THE TWO NATURES - Message 30 Part 2 of 3 ROMANS CHAPTER 7 EXPOSITION – PART 2 It is most unfortunate that these three messages had to be broken into three Parts because it disrupts the ...read more

    We cannot depend on our good works to save us. We cannot depend on anything external to save our souls. Salvation is produced solely by faith.

    Intro: These last few verses of chapter four teach us the truth that we cannot depend on keeping the Law to save us. We cannot depend on our good works to save us. We cannot depend on anything external to save our souls. Paul's point here, as it has been throughout this chapter is that ...read more

    A look at how our attitude affects how we live for God. This sermon looks at our external attitude, how we treat others.

    -so last week we started on looking at our attitude, focusing mostly on things inside our heart, what we think of ourselves, and what we think of God. -and we also asked a whole bunch of questions, yes there were to main ones, but there were a whole bunch of other ones that were there really to get ...read more

    Abandon Yourself Entirely To God: Examining The Concept Of Surrendering To God's Will Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Feb 24, 2024
     | 1,330 views

    It’s not enough to simply call Jesus Lord, we really have to abandon ourselves to Him, deny ourselves, deny our old pattern of life, and embrace the new pattern of carrying our cross with Jesus. Otherwise there’s no hope. We have to give it all over!

    Abandon yourself to God. What does it mean exactly? When we become a follower of Jesus, we are renouncing, or throwing off our old ways of life. And we’re choosing a new way of life. A life which is now fundamentally under the command and control of God Almighty. We abandon ourselves to God. We ...read more
