Salvation is MORE than "easy believe-ism". We need to see our sin the same way God sees it. Our sin should break our heart, like it does God’s heart.

“Jesus Teaches About Repentance” Luke 13:1-5 INTRODUCTION: We CONTINUE in our series on ‘Lessons Jesus Taught’. We have studies what Jesus taught about: The Holy Spirit … the Tongue … Prayer … Thanksgiving. Jesus wasn’t the only one to teach about REPENTANCE. That was the major theme of John ...read more

Some believe repentance means simply to "turn around" and go in the opposite direction. But the Bible tells us repentance is much more than this.

The Greek word for repentance is metanoia. Meta means "to change or shift" and noia means "perspective." It literally means a change in the way one views things. Repentance means not only saying you’re sorry, it means you are going to genuinely change and mend your ways. John was preaching ...read more

Grace Versus Works - Saved By The Faith Of Jesus

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Aug 20, 2025

based on 4 ratings

| 321 views

In the Bible, Jesus is often referred to as God's "free gift" (Romans 5:15 NIV). A person is free to reject that gift just as they are free to reject the offer of friendship and love from another.

Works-based Christianity is similar to the principle of Karma, which is the "law of the deed," a centuries-old worldwide belief that if you do good things, good will come back to you, and if you do bad things, bad will come back to you. It is believed that suffering is a result of a ...read more

There are phrases we’ve heard and used over the years that are not true even though we use them as if they were.

This morning, we’re going to talk about the “The Lies (L-I-E-S) That We Believe “ And the reason I titled it “The Lies We Believe” is because that’s what the Lord told me to title it.

You Deserve It!

Do you think you deserve to get something and excited that you may get it? Or are you glad you aren't getting what you deserve?

You Deserve It! Deserving I once had a boss that one day she drove up with a nice expensive brand new car!

The Bible does not explain why violence and tragedies are a part of our world. We are not told why there was a serpent in the garden of Eden. We never told why bad things happen to good people. Yet men often speculate about the subject and are often wrong in their conclusions.
