The Real Enemy Series

Contributed by David Owens on Sep 23, 2019

Paul explains in Romans 7:7-13 that our real enemy is not the law, but is sin and our sinful flesh. We don't have to live with the consequences of our sin if we bring it under the grace of Jesus Christ.

A. One day, a mother explained to her five-year-old daughter that if she chose to disobey her, she would have to live with the consequences. 1. “Oh, Mommy!” the little girl said with a terrified look on her face. “Please don’t make me live with the Consequences.

Are Your Words Testifying Against You?

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 24, 2020

One of the things that I believe we sometimes forget is that the words that we speak mean a lot more than what we may think. This message is about the importance of speaking in agreement with God.

A prophecy from the Psalms forms the theology of our faith. What does it mean that Jesus is the Son of God?

Abusive Acts Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Nov 2, 2023

Here we have two pointed statements in this verse, one referring to the reviles at dignities, the other to the defilers of the flesh. Brute beasts can be smart but they obviously do not have spiritual knowledge. Their reasoning was no more advanced than that of animals' instincts.
