     | 4,915 views

    What Jesus did for us should leave us in awe.

    Why the Word Became Flesh Hebrews 2:5-18 Even though we find the words “And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us” in the Gospel of John, the Book of Hebrews describes the incarnation of Jesus in detail.

    According to God's own Word, every nation tribe, people and language will be represented in heaven. It is important, however, not to confuse the reach of God's saving grace to all nations with a misconception that all roads lead to God.

    To whom then will you compare me, that I should be like him? Says the Holy One. 26 Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name; by the greatness of his might and because he is strong in power, not one is missing. (Isaiah ...read more

    Jesus teaches that the things that defile a person are the things that come from the heart. This sermon offers four habits to be cultivated as means of grace to allow the Spirit room to root out the sin that lurks within our hearts.

    It Came From Within Introduction Growing up spending many days at my grandfather's home we watched television a lot. While I was a child of the 80s, we also watched old films.

     | 6,855 views

    The transfiguration of Jesus is important because it shows Christ is outside the realm of time, It reveals His divine nature, shows that the moment of salvation has come, and that Jesus is the looked-for Messiah of the Jews.

    THE TRANSFIGURATION OF JESUS Mk. 9:2-10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Magician Humor 1. A magician introduced an act in which he would disappear.

    Security Of The Believer (Pt. 1)

    Contributed by Thomas Clawser on May 7, 2018
     | 3,270 views

    If we live as God intends and Jesus taught, our security—conditional or unconditional—is in the hands of our Savior.

    One of the things we were taught at Evangelical is that preachers must not avoid difficult subjects or passages: those sincere believers may disagree on. In the next two weeks we consider such a subject. We ask God’s guidance and grace as we seek to understand. The doctrine of unconditional ...read more
