Jesus And The Law, Part 2

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Feb 10, 2020

Imagine a commentary on the Old Testament by Jesus Christ. It would be the best, and we have one in the Sermon on the Mount. Let’s begin to understand the intent of the law by its author. Let’s look at murder, adultery and bearing false witness in Matthew 5:21-37.

Doctrines That Free Vs Doctrines That Enslave

Contributed by Kelly Durant on Apr 23, 2015

Here is a sad reality, any one of us, being unprepared to recognize false ideas, might entertain some belief or practice that does not coincide with Jesus teachings! I have seen us lose a few people from this Church over the years and it saddens me.

Doctrines That Free vs Doctrines That Enslave by Kelly Durant Galatians 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased ...read more

God’s Messenger And Its Little Scroll Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Sep 3, 2023

This message is a bit of a parenthesis (like Ch 7 was) … a pause to understand that time and events that have happened are that are still to come. God sends a mighty angel to speak to the Earth, and with he carries an incredible message for all.

Alpha and Omega, Part 34, Revelation Part 11 God’s Messenger and its Little Scroll Revelation 10:1-11 and Revelation 11:1-2 Introduction - Been studying together, chapter by chapter, to understand God’s plan for creation - Last week, we saw the 5th and 6th trumpet (1st and 2nd terrors ...read more

"god Told Me!" Really?

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 24, 2022

God's Word, the Bible, is a perfect revelation of the mind and the will of God. We sin against Him when we attempt to usurp His place by trying to put words in His mouth.

“You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.” If you have been a follower of Christ for more than a few months, you have almost assuredly heard some dear soul assert, “God told me…” This assertion was possibly ...read more

Moving Forward (Pentecost Sunday 2024)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on May 16, 2024

As we know Pentecost is about the birthday of the Church. Our marching orders for the Kingdom following the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ are to be Spirit filled, Spirit fed and Spirit led as we go and make disciples!

John 16:7-14 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

If Jesus Is God, Why Did He Not Know The Time Of The Hour (Matthew 24:36)? Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Jun 12, 2025

Let's explore this passage and others to understand Jesus' omniscience.

Jesus Knows Everything. The Bible teaches that Jesus is fully divine and fully human. As God, Jesus possesses all the attributes of God, including omniscience (all-knowing). However, during His time on earth, Jesus' divine attributes were sometimes veiled, leading to questions about His ...read more

"All By Myself"

Contributed by Bruce Hindenburg on Aug 13, 2002

The story of Elijah, his success and his fear. His false assumption that he is all alone. How God spoke to him and to us in a gentle whisper. Today we hear the gentle whisper of the Gospel.

Text: 1 Kings 19:9-18; and Matthew 14:22-33 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

Sin Happens! Forgiveness: Will It Work? Have Faith

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Oct 18, 2007

Jesus confronts the Pharisees with their false theology regarding their understanding of God with parables. He then, in Luke 17 speaks to the disciples about reality. Sin happens. Forgiveness will work. It is our duty to imitae Jesus.

In Jesus Holy Name October 7, 2007 Text: Luke 17:1,3,4,10 Redeemer “Sin: It Happens! Forgiveness: Will It Work? Have Faith” Jesus was a middle-aged Rabbi. People flocked to hear him. They were fascinated. He told stories. He challenged the Pharisees who were filled with self ...read more

It Does Make A Difference What You Believe!

Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Nov 23, 2002

Those who say: "it doesn’t matter what you believe so long as you are sincere" are espousing a very dangerous and false doctrine. It really does matter what you believe.

IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHAT YOU BELIEVE “Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him. But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.” Hebrews 10:38-39 The statement "It ...read more

The Freedom That Comes From Obedience Series

Contributed by Sherm Nichols on Jan 28, 2014

Another visit into the life of David to encourage people to examine their own lives for areas where they are pursuing false “freedom” and to pursue real freedom within God’s design for living.

Today is the 2nd installment in this series from the life of David. If you’re following the Scriptures, you’re going to notice we’re skipping more than we’re looking at. And, you’re going to notice that once again, David is like us – in his life there are ...read more

The Truth Exposed Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 9, 2021

The enemy brings much opposition and false accusation against believers. While he has power, he is no match for the sovereign Lord. As we stand for truth, we rest knowing truth will always prevail.

The Truth Exposed Esther 7: 1-10 Take a moment to consider the many ups and downs the Jews have experienced at this point. All who are in Persia were either removed from their homeland by force, or born into captivity in a foreign land. One of their own had been crowned queen of the kingdom, but ...read more

Jesus’ Last Sermon Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 21, 2018

This was our Lords last public message. It is a scathing denunciation of false religion that paraded itself under the guise of truth. Some of the common people no doubt were shocked at his words, for they considered the Pharisees righteous.

Grace - The Untold Story

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 31, 2017

There are those who falsely teach that God's grace, through Christ Jesus, secures salvation without any change in character and lifestyle. Such a view ignores passages which explicitly state that grace demands a transformation.

Grace is a constant theme in the Bible, and it culminates in the New Testament with the coming of Jesus (John 1:17). By His mercy, God accepted Christ's sufferings and death as the punishment for sin that we all deserved. By His grace (unmerited favor), God extended to those who put their trust ...read more

Sometimes Leaving Makes More Sense Than Staying

Contributed by Ezekiel Ette on Sep 30, 2017

Indecision and False Hope is not from God, People talk about the good old days as an excuse to stop discovering the new. God has a plan for us even when we do not know the future.

A few years ago when we first started out fresh from college, we had many dreams. Some wanted to get more education and some talked about making money. Others wanted to live in the big city far away from their parents and some wanted to stay close to parents. Some were not comfortable with change ...read more

Grace From Galatians (7 0f 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

The false religions of the world have one thing in common. They all desire to put people under bondage. Why do they want to put people under bondage? This is their way of keeping their members under their control.

For example to understand that, we have to consider a dictator like Saddam Hussein. Why did he use intimidation, torture and death as a means to control the people of Iraq? The people in Iraq were afraid to say anything bad about him for fear that he would have them killed. Illus: Let me give you ...read more
