"i Will Bless You!"

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 14, 2022

Lost And Found

Contributed by James May on Feb 27, 2022

We may lose some things that may be desirable in this life by surrendering our lives to Jesus, but the life we gain is far greater than anything we have now. And the life in Christ is always learned through the preaching of the Word, in whatever form it comes to us.

The Christian - The Judgement Seat Of Christ – Part 2 Of 3 Series

This time we will consider more aspects of The Judgement Seat of Christ including what brings reward and the quality of deeds done for Christ. I will ...read more

The Christian - The Judgement Seat Of Christ – Part 3 Of 3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 27, 2025

Sin will keep us from reward and that is looked at. A problem considered – What happens about unconfessed sin at the Judgement Seat of Christ? I suppose in conclusion, we should have our lives tidied up, work for Christ in love, not a desire for reward. The Lord bless and keep us all!
