You can tell a lot about a relationship by the way people address each other. One of the most ironic of addresses is the "dear sir/madam" form letter address.

The Importance Of Faith Series

Contributed by Greg Powell on Aug 19, 2020

Paul anticipates the Judaizers next objection since they were huge fans of the law of Moses. In general, they recognized the importance of the Abrahamic covenant, but they gave priority to the Mosaic covenant. This led them to emphasize law over faith.

INTRO: We have seen the interrogation of faith and the illustration of faith and today we’ll see the importance of faith. Next week is the identity of faith. What Paul has been hammering home in Galatians is that we are saved by faith and not by works. This is the distinguishing hallmark of ...read more

Peace And Faith Series

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Apr 16, 2007

The greatest detriment to faith is not doubt but fear. When Jesus reveals himself to his dsiciples on Easter evening he gives them peace to free them from their fear. Jesus works the same way in our lives.

John 20:19-31 “Peace and Faith” INTRODUCTION If you were in charge of guarding “faith”; keeping it safe from anything that would harm it, what would you be most vigilant against? • Some people would guard against affluence.

Of Faith And Duty

Contributed by Greg Nance on Apr 28, 2008

How does Jesus help us to increase our faith? Is it through comforts or challenges? When we love our master we find fulfillment in keeping his commandments without an applause.

Of Christian Faith and Duty We give thee but thine own, whate’er the gift may be; all that we have is thine alone, a trust, O Lord, from thee. May we thy bounties thus as stewards true receive, and gladly, as thou blessest us, to thee our firstfruits give. The captive to release, to God the lost ...read more

Jesus celebrates bold, persistent faith from unexpected people and expands grace beyond boundaries, bringing healing into homes that feel far away.

INTRODUCTION Some people seem to come to Jesus from the “right” backgrounds. Grew up in church. Know the songs. Understand the language. Fit neatly into the system. Then there are others.

Contending For The Faith

Contributed by Don Campbell on May 8, 2023

Jude exhorts us "to contend for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints." A falure to clearly identify "the faith" has resulted in the proliferation of denominations and sects because divisions arose of opinions on matters of expediency.
