    A challenge to anyone who professes to have faith in Christ.

    INTRODUCTION It’s not what we claim to be as Christians, but what we are seen to be that really matters. Anyone can claim to have faith in Christ, but if that claim to faith is not backed up or authenticated by the things we do, then, says James, it’s nothing more than dead faith: an empty ...read more

    based on 99 ratings

    The smoking pot, flaming torch and God’s covenant with Himself that benefited Abraham is a reflection of our covenant of grace. This sermon looks at the promise that is not dependent upon us, but on God’s grace.

    The Covenant of Grace Genesis 15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward." 2 But Abram said, "Lord GOD, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer ...read more
