Sermons on Living In Obedience:

New Holy Life

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 18, 2023

Does the new life in Christ mean we can be careless about sin or careful to live sin free? Is holiness important or is that just self-righteousness?

May we Christians just believe and not obey Jesus Christ? Can we be attached to the vine and not bear fruit? So what are we going to say? Should we continue sinning so grace will multiply? Absolutely not! All of us died to sin. How can we still live in it? (Romans 6:2 CEB) May we return to living ...read more

Living By A Different Standard Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 19, 2022

Paul warns and urges the Corinthians to break away from their old lifestyle of visiting the prostitutes, counting their excuses with the truth of God's gift and design for sexual relations.

As Christians, knowing God and our Saviour Jesus Christ, we live by a different code of conduct. We live by God’s standards. • They are not standards we abide by to gain God’s favour; they are standards we live by because we have been saved from sin and changed by God. • We are redeemed, forgiven ...read more

Contributed by Dustin Bumgarner on Aug 13, 2014

Jesus told the Parable about the Sower (or Farmer, as I've written throughout). This sermon displays a unique approach to that parable, along with a special acronym of FLOWER. We must use the FLOWER method in our everyday walk with God.
