Origin, Problem, Solution, And Destiny

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 20, 2007

Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Jul 24, 2007

We hear it often said: "Well, I’m only human!" We need to think twice before we make such a statement.

CREATED IN GOD’S IMAGE AND LIKENESS “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.’ So God ...read more

Inalienable Rights Series

Contributed by Eric Hanson on Aug 14, 2007

The idea of Inalienable rights is rooted in Genesis and the fact that human beings are created in the image of God. Neither Secular Humanism or Islam recognize this. This message looks at this in an instructional way.

INALIENABLE RIGHTS Pastor Eric J. Hanson November 26th 2006 A message like this one can stand alone, but I strongly suggest that each one listening to Inalienable Rights also get a CD or tape of my message from two weeks prior to this one.

This message attempts to address the laws mentioned in scripture and discover if Christians will be held accountable for keeping any of them.

Human

Contributed by Billy Kangas on Jun 21, 2007

When we treat each other like dirt we are denying that God has made them in his image. We are eliminating the spiritual element of their existence.

When the world was six days old God decided that he was ready to pull out the big guns. He rolled up his sleeves and created humanity. He took some dust and breathed on it, and the bible tells us that the dust became man. He called the man of the ground Adam, which was a good name for him, but I ...read more
