An Accurate "I" Exam Series

Contributed by Rob Jansons on Sep 14, 2010

This is a New Year's sermon when our culture preaches "believe in yourself" and Scripture teaches us what happens when we do. It is a prelude sermon to a covert series on Calvinism.

It is the first Sunday of the new year. In our culture this is a time of getting psyched up for a new year of doing our best, setting some ambitious goals, trying harder, putting our best foot forward. Maybe you expect a little encouragement from your church; give us some spiritual justification ...read more

The Grace Of God

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Aug 14, 2017

God's grace as the avenue of salvation is sometimes seen as being in conflict with obedience of the believer as a requirement, without which salvation cannot be obtained. Which is it, or is it a combination? Can this dichotomy be satisfactorily resolved?

Believe God Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jul 29, 2021

Faith in God is critical for our salvation and also for our walk with God. Learn from Abraham and put our faith in God's Word, His wisdom, and glorify God. Faith faces the facts with an unwavering trust in God.

Is faith in God important? Does our faith in Jesus Christ matter? Paul has been stressing to his readers that we are all justified by faith in Jesus Christ, our only way of salvation. • This was not a new, novel idea that he came up with. It was God’s plan for all men. • Paul highlighted in ...read more

Freedom (Galatians)

Contributed by Laura Martin on Jun 30, 2020

A walk through the book of Galatians. Are you living free – and not as a slave to the law or to sin?

I think freedom is one of the deepest longings of the human heart. Wars have been fought, songs have been sung, philosophies developed – all for the cause of freedom. So it should not surprise us that when Jesus entered into human history — some of his earliest public words in a synagogue came from ...read more
