    Strait And Narrow Minded

    The narrow gate is not quite as attractive as the wide one, because you have to leave a lot of old baggage at the door. No carry-ons are allowed.

    I was a pastor in New Jersey when the General Assembly gave our Presbytery a couple of pretty controversial amendments to consider. There were two main issues. The first was the elimination of the “fidelity and chastity” language from our ordination standards. The second one was the lordship of ...read more

    Courage, Not Fear

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 13, 2024
     | 2,055 views

    The theme of this message—overcoming fear with courage. Jesus's disciples in Matthew 14 had the opportunity to exhibit courage, and we do too. The key is fixing our eyes on Jesus.

    Today I want us to look at replacing our fear with courage. Are any of you afraid of heights? I'll have to admit that I am one that is very afraid of heights. When I was in my teenage years, I was helping my dad and brother replace the water lines and sucker rods in his well. He had a ...read more

    The Place Of The Jews In God's Plan Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jul 16, 2002
    based on 51 ratings
     | 8,398 views

    God’s promises have not been forgotten. God has the right to choose because he is the sovereign Lord and Creator. God’s motive is love and mercy, and the demonstration of his glory. We all depend on his mercy for our salvation

    You’d be forgiven for thinking, when you read the first few chapters of Romans, that Paul has it in for the Jews. He goes to such great pains to point out that all their religious systems, all their efforts to be right with God are doomed. He accuses them of condemning others for failing to obey ...read more

    Bustin' Barriers

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Sep 29, 2013

    Our fears of sharing our faith often revolve around how people will respond. What if they reject us or worse raise questions and issues for which we have no answer? Then what do we do?

    Bustin’ Barriers I Peter 3:15b-16 and 1 John 1:5-7 Our Scripture today commands us to always be ready to share the hope we have in our lives, that is, the Good News of Jesus Christ.
