    This message looks at the concept of adoption. If we confess Jesus as Savior and Lord, we receive a new father, which is God the Father, and we become heirs of the kingdom. We are then able to call upon God as our Abba or Daddy.

    Some of the most well-known words to the believer are the first six words of the Lord’s Prayer: “Our Father, who art in heaven.” Our Father - God is known as our heavenly Father. We pray to God as our Father, speak of Him as our Father, and even sing to Him as our Father. For example, one ...read more

    When Paul arrived in Jerusalem, he gave a report of how God had been using him to bring scores of Gentiles to the Lord.

    . After his report, the church leaders in Jerusalem told him about the devout Jews who were still practicing the Jewish ceremonial laws along with their salvation.

Some of the clearest scripture concerning salvation, shows that belief in the resurrection of Christ is necessary if one is to be saved. • Romans 10:9 states, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the ...read more

    Some believe that the Old Testament Book of Psalms is the most helpful book in the Bible.

    Why? Because the Psalms are loaded with information to help us live the Christian life. One of the things we all need help with is how to deal with the differences we have with each other. We all have many differences. Illus: Mayor Giuliani, of New York city, was honored for his leadership ...read more

    In the year 2002, the Catholic church has come under fire by the news media because of the corruption in the Catholic priesthood.

    Those who have studied the history of this church have known something about this corruption for many years. For example, some of the problems today we are hearing about are: (1) THE HOMOSEXUAL PROBLEM IN THE PRIESTHOOD On the Fox News Channel, on “The Factor,” they reported that about 50% of ...read more

    If you are in Christ, if you have repented and accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour then the Bible is clear about who you are. You are a Chosen Child of God. As children of God, we must dare to be different in our words, our deeds and our actions.

    We continue in our series Dare to be Different and this month our focus is different family. Its been a while but I want to start with a couple of questions: Do you know who you are? Do others know who you are? Maybe the questions seems a little odd... I mean each of us knows who we are don’t ...read more

    Why Does The Resurrection Matter To Us?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jun 9, 2021
     | 3,619 views

    Why should we be so concerned about proving that the resurrection of Jesus really took place? Sadly, many Christians can tell you the details about the resurrection while never thinking about the way that truth effects their daily lives.

    Last Sunday we learned many of the truths about the resurrection. We all saw how the Apostle Paul proved the truth of the resurrection through the testimonies of 100s of people who saw the resurrected Christ first hand. But you might be asking, “Why does of any of it matter? Why should we be so ...read more
