God's Repentance Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

The thief on the cross was only minutes away from an eternity in hell, and because he turned to Jesus in faith he was only minutes away from an eternity in heaven. Thank God for His unchanging nature that will change a lost man to a saved man in an instant,

One of the attributes of God is His immutability. This means that He is unchangeable. God cannot change because He is perfect, and any change would be for better or worse. If it was for better, it would mean He was not perfect before the change. If it was for worse, He would not be perfect after ...read more

Blessed Are The Merciful Series

Contributed by Samuel Stone on Oct 13, 2007

Fifth of the Eight Milestones on the Journey of the Fruitful Followers. This message of the series happens to fall on Easter, so there is some Easter emphasis.

Seven Times The Righteous Rise Up Again!

Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 20, 2022

God's people are not promised immunity from trials and troubles. In fact, the Bible hints we may fall many times. Our victory is not that we never fall, but that God gives us grace and power to get up each time, so that in the end we triumph!
