Free Pass

Contributed by Jim Caswell on Nov 14, 2016

We are given a Free Pass on our past, but does this give us a license to continue doing what we want when we want with who we want. Jesus makes it clear that in Him we are not condemned but must sin no more.

Our passage today emphasizes that you decide early in your heart that you'll not be going to look behind and make a U-turn; you'll finish the life that God has started by not allowing yourself to be chained again to the things that have slowed down your progress. In this story, Jesus caught ...read more

Free Lunch!

Contributed by Val Black on Nov 25, 2019

There are always claims of a "Free Lunch" but none of them prove to be true, with one exception. It's a real meal and it really is free.

(This is a sermonette and/or illustration, that was taken from one of our Gospel tracts. It could be considered tongue-in-cheek. It simply explains the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and how to qualify to participate in it.) Someone once said there is no such thing as a “free lunch.” There are ...read more

Free To Abide Series

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Sep 10, 2024

Many of us know we should “ABIDE in Christ” as we are instructed in John 15:4-5. But somehow we don’t seem to be able to ABIDE, and we don’t have the evidence of the fruits of the spirit listed in Galatians 5:22.

Jesus said, “ Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” John 15:4-5. The ...read more
