Extravagant Sacrifice

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 27, 2022

“Extravagant” means: “strange, curious; exceeding the limits of reason or necessity; unreasonably high in price.” We look at Jesus’ extravagant sacrifice for us, His call for us to make the same sacrifice, & that souls are worth that sacrifice.

Every Tongue Shall Confess

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 6, 2022

Our "confession" is an act of open commitment made to God in the presence of the world, by which we bind ourselves in loyalty to Jesus Christ. The New Testament teaches four important things to know about one's confession.

I have entitled our message this morning “Every Tongue Shall Confess,” and I will be discussing the subject of our “confession.” Our confession is a common theme found in the New Testament, and that’s because it is significant to our Christian walk.

Is There Any Word From The Lord?

Contributed by John Gaston on May 19, 2021

Owned

Contributed by Je Layugan on Apr 11, 2022

Nothing compares to God. But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a man by the name of Jacob who claimed to have seen God face to face, was in a wrestling match with God, and even defeated God.

Nothing compares to God. He is Omnipresent, (always everywhere). Omniscient (all knowing). Omnipotent (all powerful). He is transcendent (he is beyond and above us and our understanding of this world) But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a ...read more
