Cross-Examination (Part One)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jul 6, 2020

A few weeks ago I did a play on words sermon titled Cross-Contamination. Today, I'm doing the same thing with the term, cross-examination. I'm using the term from the perspective of examining things through a spiritual lens. It's time for cross-examination.

Fellowshipping With The Father And The Son - Part 8

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Jul 30, 2020

John didn't want his readers to willingly fall short of God's holy standard. If you are a true believer you will not want to sin. Having a desire not to sin is one of the proofs you are a believer.

Review The Gnostics said they had no sin, blaming their sinful acts on their body. John was setting the record straight for his readers. The bad new John tells us is that we do sin. The good news is that if we confess our sin God is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sin and cleanse us ...read more

Fellowshipping With The Father And The Son - Part 11

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Aug 3, 2020

John is telling us that we become the “little born ones” of God when our sins have been forgiven. Sins are forgiven when one trusts in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross.

John is called the “Apostle of Love.” In his first epistle he expresses love for his readers much like parents express love for their children. A young teenage boy had just gotten his driver’s license. When he got home, he asked his father, who was a minister, if they could discuss the use of the ...read more

Free Lunch!

Contributed by Val Black on Nov 25, 2019

There are always claims of a "Free Lunch" but none of them prove to be true, with one exception. It's a real meal and it really is free.

(This is a sermonette and/or illustration, that was taken from one of our Gospel tracts. It could be considered tongue-in-cheek. It simply explains the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and how to qualify to participate in it.) Someone once said there is no such thing as a “free lunch.” There are ...read more
