Saved By Faith Alone! Really??? Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Nov 27, 2021

Could it really be that works have nothing to do with gaining a right-standing with God? Don't good people who do good works get to Heaven. The Apostle Paul has an answer.

I’ve entitled my message this morning “Saved by Faith Alone! Really???” because shockingly that’s precisely the attitude of most self-described Christians in America today. An October 2020 survey of self-described Christians in America by Arizona Christian University revealed the 52% of ...read more

Adonai Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 16, 2020

Freedom comes when I realize that I am not in charge of the universe … God is … and I let Him do His job and I do mine … which is to be an attentive and obedient servant of the Lord and Master of the universe.

I am a slave. Not because I am being forced to be a slave but because I want to. Under Deuteronomic law, an indentured servant could choose to be a free man when his seven years of service were up or he could choose to stay and work for his master. If he loved his master and wanted to continue ...read more

Why Genesis Is Important

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jul 6, 2018

There are some in the Body of Christ who believe that the book of Genesis is not "God-breathed". But it's a book that Lord says is critical to how we are to live as Christians.

How many of you know that there are many in the Body of Christ who do not think that Genesis is literal? Many believe it’s allegorical. Some don’t believe Genesis really happened believing that the book is a series of stories that were compiled to try and help us understand what happened in the ...read more

Forcing God’s Hand

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 26, 2022

This message looks at the account of someone who was given a promise by God that he would receive a great blessing. But he, along with his wife, took matters into their own hands, and tried to get ahead of God, leading to strife.

In our message this morning we’re going to focus on how we need to have patience when following the Lord. Hebrews is a book of the Bible that frequently talks about following God in faith, and we read that those who are patient will be able to “inherit the promises” (Hebrews 6:12). In Hebrews ...read more

I Give You This Land, Even More I Give This Land To Your Children. Series

Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Mar 11, 2022

When God adds a promise of land to Abram’s “seed” promise (Genesis 12:7), we think that Abram is goanna be great. The story doesn’t end there. God turns from the promise of descendants to the possession of land.

Sermon, I Give You This Land, Even More, I give this land to Your Children. The story of God and Abram starts when God commands Abram to migrate to Canaan. God offers Abram magnanimous promises: he will be a great nation; he will have a great name; God will bless people who bless him and curse the ...read more

Just like Abram, all we need to do is simply believe and trust in God. Yes, we can be confident in the times of uncertainty.
