    Grace From Galatians (12 Of 19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022
     | 1,999 views

    This is Paul’s fourth appeal to try to get them to come to their senses.

    As we have seen, Paul does not understand why these backsliding Galatian Christians wanted to return to the bondage of the law. In this appeal, he seems to appeal to their common sense, something that many in this country seem to have lost. Illus: I saw this sad announcement and thought about ...read more

    In John 1:1-18 we learn seven truths about the Word.

    Scripture I recently reread J. I. Packer’s classic book titled, Knowing God. It is a wonderful book designed to help its readers learn what it means to know God.

    God’s Design In Man’s Despair

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Dec 24, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,497 views

    Today's Sermon is about how Christmas is God's Design in Man's Despair. It is taken from Jesus's genealogy found in Matthew's Gospel. It looks at how God perfectly ordered history, how God works through sinful man, and that we have to resign from being our own gods.

    God’s Design in Man’s Despair Matthew 1:1-25 Looking at this title, “God’s Design in Man’s Despair,” it doesn’t look or sound like a positive and uplifting Christmas message, but stay tuned, because I believe you’ll be blessed knowing that God’s has a design for our lives. This actually came ...read more

    Every day of this life we have to make choices; whether to get up or stay asleep, to bathe or stink to high heaven, or to brush our teeth or let them rot out. However, there is only one real choice when it comes to eternity. What will you choose...The Wages of Sin or The Gift of God.
