    Contributed by Luther Sexton on Feb 24, 2019
     | 5,372 views

    However, it clear from Scripture and history that many have perished, are perishing, and will perish. Only those who fight a good fight and finish their course will be saved.

    TO FAIL, TO FALL, OR TO FINISH II Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” However, it clear from Scripture and history that many have ...read more

     | 18,614 views

    In a world that is dominated by those who defy, avoid and simply fear death, David simply says "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil." Why was it that David could be so confident?

    Like the prodigal son, Jonah came to himself in his moment of despair. He cried out unto the Lord, desiring renewed fellowship with Him. Seeking to flee the Lord's presence cannot delay the inevitable.

     | 5,840 views

    In this passage, Paul delivered a riveting message - man apart from Christ is dead in sin. A dead man is hopeless to do anything to improve his situation - he's dead! Our only hope is found in Christ.

    Dead Man Walking Ephesians 2: 1-3 Often as those condemned to death by execution are led from their cell toward the death chamber, the other prisoners will say, “Dead man walking.” For the condemned, and all who face a similar fate, the reality of the situation begins to take hold.

     | 6,223 views

    Following his declaration of man's depravity and the love of God to meet our desperate need, Paul reveals the means of our salvation. We are saved by grace through faith unto good works. Works do not produce salvation, but they will follow genuine salvation.

    The Marvelous Gift of Grace Ephesians 2: 8-10 Over the past few weeks, we have considered the desperate situation of mankind. There is no doubt that we are all born in sin, separated from God and in danger of eternal condemnation because of sin. Thankfully, God understood man’s desperate need and ...read more
