Contributed by Rick Stacy on May 27, 2009

You may never get the kind of recognition or applause that you might like or that you see others getting for doing the same kind of work. But Jesus tells us in the Sermon on the Mount that the Father sees what is done in secret.

Jesus' Sermon

Contributed by Lindsey Mann on Jun 26, 2006

What did Jesus mean when He spoke the words of the Sermon on the Mount? He obviously had something in mind because His words show us that it is simply impossible to live the life He commanded us to live!

One of the hardest things for us to do is to reconcile some of the more difficult passages of the bible. Anybody who reads this great sermon will be bemused as they seek to establish a doctrine of salvation by faith alone when they see so much instruction concerning right living. If Paul could ...read more

I Am Transformed! Series

Contributed by Stephen Brown on Jan 19, 2016

The word transformed is used 4 times in the New Testament. Twice describing Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration and twice describing God’s affect on Christians. Thankfully, it is not something I try to accomplish, but something God accomplished in me.

When I enlisted in the Army in 1985, I was a naïve, country boy from WV. After their offer and my oath of commitment, the Army upheld their responsibilities and I upheld mine. Over time, by their influence and training, I was transformed into a soldier. If the military can accomplish that in me, ...read more
