    Obedience is not empty duty, but the surrendered, grateful, Spirit-filled response of a heart alive in Christ.

    Opening Story – The Boy in the Corner A little boy had been disobedient. His mother sent him to the corner and said, “You sit there.” With folded arms, slumped in his chair, he muttered, “I might be sitting on the outside, but I’m standing on the inside.” That’s obedience… but only on the ...read more

    There Are No Advantages To Sin

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 27, 2021
     | 2,281 views

    The Scriptures are filled with illustrations of people who learned the hard way and oftentimes too late that sinful actions carry a high price and prove to be of no advantage to anyone. What, then, is your excuse?

    The Bible has never been shy or unapologetic when it comes to exposing the sins, deceit, and wickedness of fallen humanity and our war against the righteousness and holiness of God. The Bible is open and blunt about the penalty for sin, but has also shown that the Lord God is not willing that ...read more

    God “desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:4).

    1. Christians believe salvation is by faith alone and apart from works. Good works without faith in God will not save (Eph. 2:8-9). 2. Christians also believe faith that fails to produce good works is dead. Faith in God without good works will not save (James 2:14-26). 3. Paul, the great champion ...read more

    Why would Jesus seemingly praise the Pharisees saying our righteousness should exceed theirs? Why would I need to compare my righteousness to that of men that Jesus despised?

    This message uses a large wooden cross as a prop. As I discuss each item, I place it on the cross. By the time I am done the sermon, the cross is completely hidden from all the garbage hanging from it.
