Do All Religions Lead To Salvation?

Contributed by Basil Banyasz on Sep 25, 2004

This sermon tells that Christ is the way, the truth and the life and that only Christians who accept and believe accordingly will have salvation available to them.

Do all religions lead to salvation? Jesus, Himself, said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through Me.” [John 14:6] In my Study Bible, there is a footnote that says: The way, the truth, and the life is a Person, our Lord Jesus Christ: He is so because ...read more

Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 14, 2017

This message looks at Timothy, who he was and how he was called.

Layers of Minions As Sir Hiss was to Prince John and as Donkey was to Shrek, so Timothy is to Paul. Sounds like a question on a game show. What is “Henchman?” Hiss was a Henchman, Donkey was a side-kick and Timothy was a protégé but they were all Minions. And remember how the Oxford ...read more

A Hill To Die On Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 20, 2016

I love to read and a few weeks ago I ran across a word quiz from a non-Christian publication that – at first – angered me. I thought they were making fun of Christianity. But once I read the answer to the quiz I realized not only were they NOT doing that, but in fact someone had ...read more

"From the beginning it was not so." Matthew 19:8.

MARRIAGE, DIVORCE, AND CELIBACY. Matthew 19:1-12.
