Name Dropping

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 17, 2023

If your cry of “Lord, Lord,” is a cry for help, not a boast of power, his answer is, “Come unto me.”

I could have called this sermon Identity Theft, or Forged Documents, or Illegal Entry, or any one of a number of buzz-words regarding one of today’s hot political topics, illegal immigration.

Faith Results In Good Works

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 15, 2022

True Christian faith is seen in its works.

Paul expresses that salvation is God’s free demonstration of grace, which we receive by faith, and not by acts of merit (Romans 3:28). James states by works a man is justified, and not by faith only (James 2:24). Indeed, even the demons possess a faith in God, yet have no genuine trust in Christ ...read more
