Growing Deeper Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 11, 2024

We're at war with Satan, but too often churches ignore the conflict and avoid doing what has to be done to tear down the gates of Hell. What can we do to avoid going AWOL in this great battle for the souls of the lost?

When I went to Israel, I visited a place about 25 miles north of the Sea of Galilee called Caesarea Philippi. The area lays in the shadow of Mt.

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 11, 2023

In 'Growing in Spirituality', we explore John 15:1-5 where Jesus outlines the process of spiritual growth. This involves understanding God as the gardener, Jesus as the true vine, and ourselves as the branches.

Salvation through faith in Christ has two dimensions: the assurance of eternal life in heaven and the call to live for God on earth. While we often hear that we should live for God, we are rarely taught how to do it. In John 15:1-11, Jesus provides a clear explanation of the process of spiritual ...read more

"Growing In Grace Together”

Contributed by Austin Calder on Apr 21, 2020

Grace is a terribly misunderstood word and defining it sufficiently is very difficult. Some of the most detailed theology textbooks do not offer any concise definition of the term. Someone came up with this acronym: GRACE is God’s---Riches--- At---Christ’s---Expense.

That’s not a bad way to characterize grace. One of the best-known definitions of grace is only three words: God’s unmerited favor. A. W. Tozer expanded on that idea by saying, “Grace is the good pleasure of God that allows him to bestow benefits on the undeserving.” The key word in what have ...read more
