Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 21, 2023

We were guilty until Jesus came and paid the price. Now we can free. How? Realizing we are sinners, believe that Jesus died for our sins and accept him as our Savior.

The salvation of a soul from sin is a work of great proportion. It is a work of God o behalf of man. Nothing greater has ever been done for you and me. The writer of the book of Hebrews speaks of this work, which is all of God, as “so great salvation.” Before anyone can have a clear concept of this ...read more

Service For Gavin Xavier Sanford

But first, let’s deal with what some people believe are the reasons why we are here today. During times like these, I’ve heard ministers say “God needed another ...read more

The Death Of The Savior Series

Prophecy Fulfilled Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

Prophecy is also perverted in every generation by those who feel it was all written for just their day. There is a whole graveyard full of old prophecy books that died along with the people who are suppose to be the anti-Christ.

In no area of biblical studies have Christians been more often deceived then in the area of prophecy. The early church fathers got caught up in wild spiritualizing of the Old Testament. They found profound revelations where there were none. It became so subjective that you could make Scripture ...read more

The old sin nature was crucified and died with Christ. Anything contrary to who we are now in Christ Scripture calls 'deceit' and must be resisted only by Jesus's indwelling grace.

Awhile ago The Lord peeled back the causes of the internal struggles we face at times to live a godly life and it really opened my eyes, I pray it opens yours as well. In James 3, a clear distinction is made between a "Wisdom from above" and that is from God, and a "wisdom from ...read more

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 31, 2003

There is a lot of teaching about WHY Christ died in the Scripture. There is a fair amount of teaching about the Resurrection. But the burial of Christ occupies a lesser role. Even so, keep in mind that it is one third of the Gospel. Although the Bible
