The Holy Spirit And The Bible

Contributed by Ted Sutherland on Dec 9, 2001

The Gospel of John, with its long intricate discourses, written by a very old man many years later, is an illustration of the Inspiration and Illumination of Scripture.

A man whose hobby was collecting old books was talking to a friend, who mentioned he’d just thrown out an old, tattered Bible while cleaning out the attic. “Who printed it, do you know?” the book lover asked. “Oh, someone named Guten- something,” he replied. “Gutenberg?!” the collector gasped. ...read more

No More Sea

Contributed by Jerry Carr on May 5, 2001

A sermon describing why John on the Isle Of Patmos describing the new Heavens and New Earth said there was no more sea. Why No More Sea??

I believe to understand what John is talking about we need to lay a little ground work. You see when God created the Heavens and the Earth, He created a perfect place for man. We find when man willfully disobeyed God and ate of the forbidden tree in Gen. 3:1-21, that God placed a curse upon ...read more

A sermon for "Amazing Grace" Sunday [February 25, 2007] based upon the Life of John Newton and his great hymn "Amazing Grace."
