The Birth Of Sin

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Nov 13, 2006

All too often our definition for Good News has to do with interesting new Bible stories, or feel good inspirationals. But we may find ourselves one day in the Valley of Despair – Valley of Dry Bones, as a result of sin (birthed within us).

Swindoll, pages 127 – 131) Perhaps you came this morning expecting to hear some “Good News”… How do you define the term “Good News”?

Transforming Grace

Contributed by Alan Perkins on May 6, 2001

If grace is unconditional and unlimitd, then why be good? Why not just sin up a storm?

This morning, we conclude our series of messages on the topic of "grace". And just to be clear what it is we’re discussing: When we refer to "grace", it doesn’t have the same meaning as when we speak of another person as being "gracious." It doesn’t signify being courteous, or having good manners. ...read more

Forgiveness Is Not A Choice

Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Aug 12, 2014

Forgiveness has eternal consequences. Perhaps that is why Jesus included it in his model prayer saying we are forgiven only when we forgive. Satan does not have to get us with every sin in the bible. All he needs is to get us with one.

I want to start with something funny, so listen to this. One Sunday a Preacher’s message was about forgiveness. Hoping to have made an impact, towards the end of the sermon, he asked his congregation, “How many of you have been able to forgive those who offended ...read more

God's Favor

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 19, 2025

We are not saved by rule-keeping or self-rescue but by God’s grace—grace received by faith—which alone can break sin’s dominion and lead us home.

Introduction Some of us feel far from God. Far from the person we wanted to be. Far from family. Far from our own true selves. And though we long to come home, we know that we cannot pave that road with our own effort. The Bible has a single word for the road back. That word is grace. Victor ...read more

The Sin That Wants God

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 10, 2025

Cain sought God’s favor without surrender, but Christ’s blood still speaks—calling every heart from self-made worship to obedient, Spirit-filled revival.

The Conflict at the Altar Every human being builds an altar. Some offer obedience; some offer opinion. Every life lifts something before God—work, worship, wealth, reputation—and waits for fire to fall. That is where the story of Cain and Abel begins: two brothers, two altars, two hearts, one ...read more
