    Many Christians are confused as to why Christians keep part of the Old Testament commandments but don't keep others. This series of two messages helps them find answers to their questions.

    Today we will tackle the question: Should a Christian Keep the Law? The answer to that question significantly affects the way we live our Christian lives. If I read the Bible with a legalistic mindset, I will live under the bondage of the law—a perpetual effort to measure up and always coming ...read more

    In a world where there are many different "Gospel’s" preached we need to make sure that we are not distracted from bringing the true Gospel. It is not the task of the church to be popular. It is the task of the church to be faithful.

    Advent 1 (B) Christ is more than a baby born in Bethlehem, He is King of all. We should not confine worship of Christ to the holiday only, nor failure to recognize Him as more than just a baby, but as God and Lord who will return as Judge.

    “Don’t keep Christ in Christmas” J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. Thanksgiving is over, and Advent is here. But our Gospel reading today presents us with Mark’s ...read more

    What are the causes of the “prayer signal” getting broken as we try and communicate with God?

    BIG IDEA: All believers can achieve better results in prayer by eliminating the following 4 roadblocks to prayer. 1. A disconnected relationship with God (prayerlessness). (John 15:7, James) 2. Unconfessed sin (Isaiah 59:2) 3. Broken relationships (Matthew 5:23-24, Mark 11:25, Hebr. 12:15, Romans ...read more

     | 3,090 views

    Why do Christians seem to keep all Ten Commandments except the Sabbath? This message addresses the difference in the way New Testament deals with Old Testament moral versus ceremonial laws.

    We are answering the question: Should a Christian Keep the Law? The biblical answer is yes and no. We should keep the moral commandments that are rooted in the immutable nature of God.
