Remembering Lot's Wife

Contributed by Bob Phillips on May 15, 2014

The dangers of looking back on sin usually results in a longing for some of the pleasures of this world.

Jesus used Lot’s wife as an example of how dangerous it can be to look back and long for the sinful things that God has saved us from. Jesus used two events in history to make the point of how people would ignore the warnings of God’s Ministers, or servants. The days of Noah: The flood ...read more

ALL who are in Christ Jesus are accepted by God. We have no right to refuse any whom God has received.

THE INCLUSIVENESS OF THE CHURCH AGE. Isaiah 56:1, Isaiah 56:6-8. The idea here seems to be that the community of God’s people should “preserve justice and do righteousness” (Isaiah 56:1).

God Accepts You As Gentiles, In Christ (So Don't Become Jewish Christians; Ephesians 2:1-10) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 23, 2022

What is faith? Also, "works" and "good works" are not the same thing. "Works" are works of the Mosaic covenant, specifically food laws, circumcision, holy days (inc. Sabbath).

Today's sermon is on Ephesians 2:1-10. But I want to start by reading all of chapter 2. We often make a mess of chapter 2, especially in verses 8-10, and the reason we make that mess is because we ignore Paul's larger argument. Paul is writing to Gentiles, explaining to them that they are ...read more
