    The failure of our efforts and the glory of Christ's work.

    COME LET US REASON TOGETHER. Isaiah 1:10-18. Isaiah addresses his congregation as “rulers of Sodom” and “people of Gomorrah”, and begins to reason with them (Isaiah 1:10).

    How The Bible Moves Us To Praise Series

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Jan 17, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,129 views

    For the Christian, God’s Word should lead to praise. Along with prayer, service, and witnessing, praise should be an active part of the Christian life. As with all of these qualities, praise is connected to the Bible.

    God promised the Israelites that He would lead them out of bondage and into the Promised Land. How sad that they did not believe His words until after they saw victory over the Egyptians. For the Christian, God’s Word should lead to praise. Along with prayer, service, and witnessing, praise ...read more

     | 1,187 views

    The simple things or actions during our Christian walk of faith are just as important as with the things that seem major.

But now we will see something peculiar, he makes an axe head float. This situation shows how God cares for His ...read more

    A perpetual feast to the LORD.

    CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US. 1 Corinthians 5:6-8. The context for this passage is one of church discipline (cf. 1 Corinthians 5:1). The case in point concerns an incestuous affair which, far from addressing, the church seems to have been ‘puffed up’ about (cf. 1 Corinthians 5:2). ...read more

    The Use Of Spiritual Gifts, Focusing On Tongues

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jun 6, 2022
     | 1,786 views

    The practice of the gift of tongues is very controversial in evangelical circles. I Corinthians 12-14 was intended to save us from much of this controversy.

    May 27, 2022 Hi Abby, Here are my concerns about some forms of practice among those who call themselves Charismatic, or especially Pentecostal. I might be called Charismatic by some, because I believe that “sign gifts” such as prophecy, tongues, healings, knowledge, miracles, etc. are ...read more
