    We focus on their debt to us, instead of our debt to God!!

    Matthew 18:21-35-Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him?

    Understanding Baptism

     | 4,873 views

    There's a lot of confusion in the religious world regarding baptism. In this lesson, we'll survey the NT teaching on the ancient practice and learn the why's behind doing it.

    The words of Ananias in Acts 22:16 are simple to understand. There’s nothing complicated about them. Nothing complex or ambiguous; “And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.” And yet the religious world of today, ...read more

    This next one that Paul talks about is one that a lot of people have trouble with, and the devil uses this emotion to trip up a lot of people!!

    Ephesians 4:27-nor give place to the devil. When you we allow the devil a place in our lives, a place where he can get in, it is like saying to him, “I saved a place for you!” Ephesians 6:10-11-Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

    Discernment is a gift. It gives God’s children the ability to distinguish between what God calls us to and what the world entices us toward.

    Contributed by Gregory Lilly on Feb 23, 2014
     | 5,299 views

    Everyone of us wants to be successful in our service to the Lord, but oftentimes our success is stopped because we do not readily accept God's will for our lives. How can you be successful in your service for the Lord?

    Philippians 3:14 Paul wrote that living and dying unto Christ should be the focus of our lives always in the theme verse to this book in Philippians 1:21. Paul also wrote that we should become willing vessels through which God can work His will as he shared in this book in Philippians 2:13. ...read more
