He Is Faithful

Contributed by Jerry Flury on May 1, 2011

He Overcame Series

Contributed by Richard White on Oct 20, 2012

Those Feelings Of Pride Series

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Mar 11, 2012

As amazing as these truths are Paul says the most compelling thing that should motivate us in our love for Christ is what He did in giving His life for us. Greater motivation than how great heaven will be or how horrible to face judgment.

Paul focused strongly upon the aspects of things beyond this life: the transformation of our earthly body to a building made without hands in the heavenlies, our being newly clothed in our eternal apparel and last Sunday ...read more
