  • The Logic Of Pursuing Godliness Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 11, 2020
     | 2,499 views

    Paul clearly taught salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. Such a teaching could easily raise two objections Paul addresses. And in doing so, he charts God’s agenda for holy living for the believer.

    The Logic of Pursuing Godliness (Romans 6:1-23) 1. It must be tough right now for to take the Census, with Covid and all. 2. I have a funny Jewish joke about this. The census taker comes to the Goldman house. “Does Louis Goldman live here?” he asks. “No,” replies Goldman. “Well, then, what is ...read more

    Do we have anything in common with the first-century church of Ephesus? Unfortunately, yes we do. Too much have we abandoned the love of Christ we had at first.

  • The Wedding Model Of Communion

    Contributed by Dale London on Jun 1, 2022
     | 2,107 views

    Throughout the Gospels, Jesus keeps returning to the model of marriage to describe our relationship with God. We often miss is the significance of our covenant of betrothal to Christ as solemnised in the Lord's Supper.

    Many of you will have noted how I keep coming back to the subject of covenant when we come together for communion; that when we share the cup – even figuratively – we are reaffirming an agreement we have with God. The agreement is that we accept the gift of Christ’s death on the cross as atonement ...read more

    How Is It fair to throw the poor guy out in the street?

    Twenty-eighth Sunday in Course 2020 I encountered today’s Gospel for the first time when I was a teenager.

    based on 1 rating
     | 250 views

    Here are few differences, along with biblical examples.

    The Bible warns us that not everyone who claims to be a follower of Christ is genuinely saved. In Matthew 7:21-23, Jesus says that some will claim to have done great things in His name, but He will declare, "I never knew you." This raises an important question: what distinguishes a true ...read more

    ENGAGE I remember back when the first of the so called “smart phones” appeared on the market in the early 2000’s. At first, I didn’t really see the need to for one.

    This morning, we find ourselves working in Exodus 5. Before we jump in, I just want to help you in two different ways.
