Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 24, 2022

God's Riches At Christ's Expense

Contributed by Gregg Bitter on Mar 31, 2003

Our amazement at God’s grace grows the more we see that it comes at Christ’s expense, which means that grace is totally undeserving by us, that grace is only in Jesus, and that grace is for God’s glory.

The Lordship Of Jesus Christ

Contributed by Mark Baker on Apr 2, 2006

When Peter stood and proclaimed this message on the day of Pentecost he didn’t have all of the revelation of the New Covenant that was to be revealed as time progressed. He stood up with the knowledge that Jesus was Lord and Christ. Glory!

When Your Life Gets Interrupted

Contributed by Rev. Jim Wilson on Aug 18, 2007

When your life gets interrupted, each day our lives face unexpected things that happen, how you can turn those things around for God’s glory and learn to live in victory !

Life’s interruptions are those times in life when things just don’t seem to go the way we had planned. Interruptions can either make us or break us.
