Contributed by Bruce Allen on Sep 19, 2003

The Savior Of The World Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Mar 31, 2008

The woman’s bold witness opened the way to Jesus. That stage of belief is only introductory. They needed a personal encounter with Jesus. The magnificent climax is that the Samaritans come to settled conviction & acclaim Jesus as the Savior of the World.

JOHN 4: 39-45 THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD [1 John 4:7-17] The revival or great harvest among the Samaritans is noteworthy. It is evidence that because of the rejection by Israel (1:11) Jesus moves into a wider ministry. These few verses also indicate two necessary and ...read more

Obedience Better Than Sacrifice Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 14, 2022

Unlike any other nation, the Hebrews had a conviction, seared into their collective consciousness by the mighty deeds of God, that the one God, ruler of heaven and earth, had picked them out to be His special people.

What’s God’s Law For? Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Jun 14, 2010

As Christians, living out God’s Law starts with our decision to say no to sin and yes to God and by putting on the full armor of God!

Have you ever wondered, “Why would God create people when He knew they would go against Him?” Here’s a question that is somewhat related; “Why would God choose a people and give His Laws to them when God knew they would disobey?” The answer of course is always in the Bible!

Inmates Converted To Christ

Contributed by Dennis King on Jul 21, 2018

This touches on the inmates that convert to Christ while incarcerated and, often times, the hypocritical criticisms directed towards them.

One thing you may find to be true is that a lot of people in the church are hypocrites. They sit in the pews and are spoon fed the gospel but their minds and activities are not open to what their ears hear. Often, if you don't look like them, talk like them or even dress like them they throw up ...read more
