I See Dead People Series

Contributed by Roger Nelmes on Jan 29, 2008

Faith is a key doctrine in the life of a Christian. The sinner is saved through faith (Eph. 2:8-9), then the believer must walk by faith (2 Cor. 5:7). Without faith it is impossible to please God (Heb. 11:6); and whatever we do apart from faith is sin (

I See Dead People Illustration: The Sixth Sense 14What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds?

On Fire But Not Anointed Series

Contributed by Charles Jones on Aug 29, 2007

Apollos knew about John’s declaration that Jesus was the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world, I believe he knew about Jesus’ death and resurrection and I also believe that he knew about Jesus as Savior but he didn’t know anything about the

Absolute Surrender

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 17, 2012
