    Clement Of Alexandria Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 6, 2022
     | 1,211 views

    Although Christ, like a human, is made in the *image of God, he alone shares the likeness of God the Father. Christ is both sinless and apathetic (indifferent), and thus by striving to imitate Christ, one can achieve salvation.

    Clement of Alexandria Titus Flavius Clemens, also known as Clement of Alexandria, was a Christian theologian and philosopher taught at the Catechetical School of Alexandria. Among his pupils were Origen and Alexander of Jerusalem. Born: Athens, Greece Died: Jerusalem School: Middle Platonism; ...read more

    We can either live for Jesus or live for the pleasures of this world. Reading, memorizing, and meditating on God's word is not enough! To draw nearer to the Lord we simply must put His words into action by imitating those who imitate Christ!

    If we are to imitate Christ as Paul asks us to in 5:1, we must keep our lives clean by allowing nothing to dirty the mirror that is our life so we may reflect Christ clearly.

    Paul tells these people to follow (5:1), or mimic, God as they demonstrate a worthy walk (4:1) that should be part of every Christian’s lifestyle. We must mirror God’s ideals in daily living. Controlling My Wants (2-3) Is my attitude one of giving, or taking (2) ? Is what consumes me open or ...read more

    Be Holy… How is this even possible? I have a difficult time just being a decent husband and father. How am I supposed to be as holy as God Himself? I’m just human. I make mistakes. Why am I being commanded to do something that seems to be impossible?

    Please turn in your Bibles to 1 Peter 1:13-22… [READ] Our key verses this morning are verses 15-16… “15 but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; 16 because it is written, ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy.’” Be Holy… How is this even possible?

    Warning!!

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Apr 15, 2025
     | 349 views

    Many warnings are ridiculous, but there are also many that, if heeded, could save our lives. Like taking cover when a tornado hits, or turning around when the bridge is out. There are other warnings that are very important as well, and if not heeded will cause lasting hurt to our spiritual lives.

    Alba 4-13-2025 WARNING!! I Corinthians 4:14-21 If there is danger ahead, it is good to have a warning. And it is wise to pay attention to the warning, whether it is a tornado siren, or a sign that says “Bridge Out”. But some warnings are worthless, ridiculous really, almost a joke. For ...read more
