    Jesus tells the people that He has not come to abolish the Law and the Prophets but to fulfill them. How has Jesus fulfilled them and, if we live by grace, what does this mean for us?

    When Light Becomes Darkness

    Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on Jan 3, 2012

     | 71,414 views

    One of the names by which Christians are known is "Light.” Christians are supposed to be the light in this dark world. Christians are supposed to show the way to people who do not know the way. They are supposed to direct those who are in darkness

    Matthew 5:14-16 says, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candle stick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your ...read more

    This message looks at what happens when we behave the way we are supposed to behave.

    Over the past four weeks I’ve been speaking about what Jesus said about our behaviour, and if you were looking for a specific list of what we can do and can’t do you’ve been disappointed. Jesus didn’t provide a detailed list but instead insisted that our relationship with ...read more

    There are plenty of believers in this nation who should be making a difference and yet it seems that we lose battle after battle in regards to the moral compass of the United States.

    PRAY Lord God and Father, open our eyes so we can see Your truth. Open our ears so w can hear Your voice. Open our mind so we can understand Your Word. And open our heart so we may receive all that You want me to receive. AMEN This past week half the people in our nation were happy because of the ...read more

    The light that a Christian shines is so that others might see good works and give God the glory.

    Jesus’ metaphors of salt and light reveal how His followers are to be positive influences in the world.

    You’ve probably all heard the old adage “No man is an island.” Since that was the thought that first came to mind as I read the passage that we’ll look at this morning, this week I did some research to find out where that saying originated. It comes from Meditation XVII ...read more

    Why God’s Word Matters Series

     | 6,704 views

    Because God’s Word mattered to Jesus, it should matter to us and we should do everything we can to live according to the principles we find there.

    Over the years, I’ve found that one of the issues that Christ followers struggle with the most is how we are to apply the Old Testament in our lives. In fact, five years ago when I preached a series of messages based on questions submitted to me by all of you, that was the most common question that ...read more

    Being salt and light mean being out there in the world, not pursuing a private spirituality.

    How many of you watch Survivor? I never have. I suppose I should, to be in touch with contemporary culture, in order to be able to speak to it... but it simply doesn’t appeal to me. I have plenty of reality in my own life, thank you, I like my down time to be somewhat more elevated - to coin a ...read more

    Righteousness greater than that of the Pharisees isn't about behavior: it's about bone-deep transformation.

    We’ve been shocked and horrified once again this week at the shooting of children by children, from Santee CA to next door in Pennsylvania. And the commentators and pundits are asking once again what kinds of laws we should pass to keep this from happening. Most are honest enough to admit ...read more
