    This sermon attempts to communicate the truth that when you believe in Christ you not only are declared righteous, but in your spirit you are made righteous before God and in your inmost being thereby you are able to love and live like Christ.

     | 3,248 views

    This portion of Matthew is one of the most misquoted and misunderstood parts of the Bible. Jesus isn’t talking about political correctness but about correctly presenting the story of sin and salvation.

    What’s your approach in sharing the gospel?

Preaching the gospel—the second of the two reasons for our existence as Christians here on ...read more

As a result, every Israelite ...read more
