Clothe Yourself With Christ

Contributed by William Nieporte on Sep 6, 2005

The Land And Death Series

Contributed by Gary Moore on Feb 6, 2008

This message deals in part with Paul’s view of law and grace.

Apart from the law, sin lies dead. I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died. The meaning of this section of Romans is laden with controversy. Is this an autobiographical account of Paul’s futile struggle to do what is right? If so, is Paul ...read more

War In The Heart Series

Contributed by Gary Moore on Feb 6, 2008

Paul describes the effect of living under the rule of the Mosaic law.

Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. But Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe (Galatians ...read more

Will The Real Gospel Please Stand Up

Contributed by Andrew Hill on Mar 2, 2008

This is a revised and simplified version of an earlier message. The purpose is to help people understand what the true gospel is.

Title: Will the real Gospel please stand up? There seems to be a lot of confusion today about what the real Gospel is. The word gospel means good news. That’s something to be really happy about. But a lot of the gospels I hear about today don’t sound like good news to me. One of the Gospels that ...read more

Belonging To Another Series

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Aug 29, 2011

We can try to live by a code of rules or we can live by a relationship. We could put it this way: True release comes from a relationship with Jesus, not from rules.
