    Unlike Superman, Jesus came to earth... to die. But there are people who reject Jesus' mission. They refuse to accept the idea that Jesus came to die, to be buried and rise again. Why would they do that?

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 17, 2021
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,816 views

    If God hated human sacrifice, why would He ask Abraham to offer his only son as a burnt offering to Him? And what can this story mean to us?

    CHILDREN'S STORY (I used a flannel graph display on the overhead) In the days of Abraham, one of the ways people showed their love for God by offering Him a sacrifice. A sacrifice is like a gift. It’s something you give to God to show Him you are willing to obey Him, even when it costs you ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 16, 2022
     | 2,773 views

    Jude has been exposing the false teachers quite graphically. One was a murderer, one perverted God's people for money, and here is Korah, a man of rebellion. God put him to the test and he failed. This whole account is examined in this message.

    THE REBELLION OF KORAH IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE REBELLIOUS FALSE TEACHERS - Jude 1 v 11(c) In a previous message we looked at Cain and Korah together. This time only Korah is in the spotlight and the account has been expanded. Jude 1 v 11 Woe to them for they have gone the way of Cain, and for pay, ...read more

    14. Romans Chapter 4 Verses 1-3 - Messages In Romans – The Faith Of Abraham Reckoned As Righteousness - Message 14 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 6, 2024
     | 673 views

    You can not work for salvation. Righteousness is placed on your account when you are saved. We look at Abraham’s faith for his faith was reckoned as righteousness. How many ways to God are there? Without faith no one can please God. It is all of faith; nothing of works. Applications made.
