  • Is God's Grace Cheap?

    Contributed by Jonathan Mcleod on Jul 22, 2001
    based on 34 ratings
     | 5,508 views

    The nature of God’s grace does not give us an excuse to sin.

    In the preceding chapters of the Epistle to the Romans, Paul has shown that salvation is purely of grace (undeserved kindness). Because we are saved by grace we can know that our salvation is eternally secure. But there are many who do not believe in the doctrine of eternal security (maybe ...read more

    Christians need to show love without hypocrisy.

    Some time ago a young sailor called his parents after his release from the military service.

He was severely wounded and has only one leg, one arm, and one eye.” After a ...read more

    If you don’t want to be judged, don’t judge others; and if you want heavenly rewards, judge yourself.

    There’s the story of the conscientious wife who tried very hard to please her ultracritical husband, but failed regularly. He always seemed the most cantankerous at breakfast. If the eggs were scrambled, he wanted them poached; if the eggs were poached, he wanted them scrambled. One morning, ...read more

    Christ’s resurrection guarantees the believer’s resurrection; the believer’s resurrection gives life meaning; and the believer’s resurrection makes death a gain.

    Illustration Thomas Jefferson, a great man, nevertheless could not accept the miraculous elements in Scripture. He edited his own special version of the Bible in which all references to the supernatural were deleted. Jefferson, in editing the Gospels, confined himself solely to the moral ...read more

    Romans 4:1-8 and James 2:14-26 do not contradict each other.

    Listen to these two verses and think to yourself whether or not they contradict each other: "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness" (Romans 4:5). "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone" (James ...read more

    A sermon on the providence of God as seen in the life of Joseph.

    Providence. The word comes from the Latin, providentia.

He sees the events of life ahead of ...read more

    Part of a series on Daniel 1-6 called compromise. Sermon deals with prayerlessness.

    [Note: This sermon was adapted from a chapter in John R. Rice’s book, Prayer: Asking and Receiving.

    Introduction to 1 Corinthians

    Imagine a church wracked with divisions. Powerful leaders promote themselves against each other, each with his band of loyal followers. One of them is having an affair with his stepmother, and, instead of disciplining him, many in the church boast of his freedom in Christ to behave in such a way. ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 5,526 views

    God has determined to save people in a way that appears foolish to the wisdom of man: through the message of the cross.

    I’m trying to decide what picture to put on my gravestone. I was hoping you would help me decide. How about a picture of a noose to represent a hanging? How about a flame to represent a burning at the stake? How about a sword to represent a beheading? How about a stone to represent a stoning? ...read more

  • The Preaching Of The Cross Series

    based on 38 ratings
     | 11,721 views

    Paul reminds the Corinthians of his manner of preaching when he came to their city. His example is an excellent one for all present-day preachers.

    “The foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom” (1:25). Of course God is never foolish. But to the human mind, He appears to be foolish. Man says, “The God of the Bible does not follow our wisdom; therefore He must be foolish, He must not be believed.” · That God saves people who put their ...read more

  • The Wisdom Of The Cross

    based on 15 ratings
     | 8,831 views

    Paul explains in these verses how some have come to reject the world’s opinion of the cross and see in it the wisdom of God.

    These verses are a continuation of the argument Paul began in 1:18: “The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” Paul is still talking about the cross in chapter 2. This fact is essential to a proper understanding of ...read more
