    Christ is the object of our life. As speeds the ship towards the port, so hastes the believer towards the haven of his Savior’s bosom. As flies the arrow to its goal, so flies the Christian towards the perfecting of his fellowship with Christ Jesus.

    Colossians 3:1-4 (NKJV) “An Old Challenge For A New Year” Spurgeon said, “Paul’s marvelously rich expression indicates, that Christ is the source of our life. “You hath he quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins.” That same voice which brought Lazarus out of the tomb raised us to newness of ...read more

    Being a disciple of Jesus calls for total commitment. All Scripture References are from the NASB.

    As you have seen over the past few weeks in this current sermon series, being a disciple of Jesus, to follow Jesus, is serious business. We must be committed completely, with no halfway measures.

     | 2,325 views

    This is the first message in a series on Basic Christian doctrine, being an introductory look at what real Christianity is all about, starting with the central theme and purpose for the existence of God's Holy Word.

    Can We Lose Our Healing

    You cannot lose what you did not have. If you have it, you cannot lose it.

    There is a large church group who has healing rooms and that is fine, but they have a belief that a person can lose their healing because some who are claimed to be healed later “lost their healing,” because the symptoms returned. Thus it is their fault if it did not stick. As an ...read more

    We are faced with two options. The first is to see how bad things really are and to focus on them. And we have every right to focus on them because things are indeed bad. Or the second option is to decide even though things are bad, I chose to rejoice and trust in my Lord.

    Each one reconciled by Christ is to be involved in reconciling the world to God. But not all those in the church do! According to our text, they have received the grace of God in vain. God expects those who have received grace to be involved in the ministry of reconciliation.

    Paul has been defending his life and ministry in the first five chapters. His enemies at Corinth had accused him of wrong methods and motives, and he successfully answered them. His final statement in chapter 5 deals with his ministry of reconciliation. The first two verses in the sixth chapter ...read more
