The Ultimate Experience: How Not To Miss It! Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Oct 22, 2018

Some people miss the ultimate experience, in fact, any experience of God whatsoever--even those who claim to be born-again Christians. Why? It comes down to one little word that is pivotal, according to Jesus, in our experience of God.

Have you ever experienced God? Sometimes it's an unsettling question, isn't it? As born again Christians, we often bristle when people accuse us of being religious. At least I do. When they say something like that, I'm quick to explain to them that I don't think of myself so much as having a ...read more

The Friend Of God - James 2:20-24 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 6, 2021

We are often told to trust God. But this passage makes trust seem more desirable by casting it in the context of friendship. This message defines friendship and explores what it means to have that with God.

James 2:14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? 15 Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical ...read more

The Friend Of God’s People - James 2:25-26 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 6, 2021

A Living Faith In God Overcomes The World

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 23, 2021

The conquest of Canaan was summed up in two New Testament passages: Heb 11:30, 31 and Jas 2:23-25, which concludes By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, Rahab the harlot justified by works, so faith without works is dead.”
