The Power Of The Gospel

Contributed by Michael Mays on Aug 31, 2021

"Good news" is not a naturally-occurring phenomenon in our fallen world, and our flesh is given to mistrust or take it seriously--especially news "too good to be true." The regular reaction to the Gospel is no different.

S.h.a.r.e.

Contributed by Dave Nichols on Aug 5, 2024

I hope you enjoyed our journey through 1st John over the last several weeks, as we examined the Genuine Christian, I know that I did. However, since we finished the book last week, I guess it was a good time to finish the series. This morning our text will be a very familiar piece of scripture for ...read more

Sermon On Crying Wolf

Contributed by William Meakin on Dec 14, 2025

Crying wolf is defined as a call for help when it is not needed, culminating in a possible non-belief by others when aid is truly required.

Why Paul Preached The Gospel

Contributed by Keith Linkous on Jun 22, 2002

Paul said, "Woe is unto me if I preach not the Gospel." This not only speaks to ministers, but confronts the laity of their responsibility to share the good news.
