A Servant’s Loyalty To His Master

Contributed by Carl Palatino on Oct 21, 2013

There are two thing to consider to check our loyalty to our master, first a leader/servant must be willing to submit to the will of his Master (John 13: 36-38). Second, a servant must have hope and confidence to his Master (John 14:1-6).

God's Grace Is Not A License To Sin

Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 4, 2013

Just because we're saved by grace, that doesn't give us a license to sin. In this lesson we'll expound upon Paul's words in Romans 6:1, "Shall we continue to sin that grace may abound?"

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?” Romans 6:1 On the surface it seems strange that anyone, especially Christians, would think that it would be okay to continue to sin so that God’s grace may abound toward us. Yet, it seems that was the ...read more

Labor Day For The Rest Of Your Life Series

Contributed by Dr. Lewis W. Gregory on Sep 1, 2015

Labor Day in the United States has traditionally been a day to cease from one’s labors and rest. God offers a lifetime of rest to all who will cease from their fleshly labors and enter His rest. Easier said than done! So, how is this possible?

Dr. Lewis Gregory “For he that is entered into His rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from His” (Hebrews 4:10 AKJV). Introduction (personal testimony): Labor Day in the United States has traditionally been a day to cease from one’s labors and rest. God offers a lifetime of ...read more

The Truest Meaning Of Christmas

Contributed by Jerry Stephens on Dec 3, 2014

At one time or another, most of us have had the experience of being on the outside looking in. More than anything else, for me Christmas is a celebration of inclusion and acceptance and restoration.

Of all the “true meanings of Christmas,” this is perhaps the truest. When I was a boy, my relatively non-religious family had a Christmas Eve tradition. We’d have a formal, dress-up dinner, and then we’d sit together to talk, tell stories and perhaps read the Christmas ...read more
