     | 6,108 views

    Acts 10:38-10:38 Based upon the book "Three Simple Rules" "A Wesley Way of Living" by Rueben P. Job. This is the fifth in the "Three Simple Rules" series, part 2 of "Do Good." We’ve learned it sounds simple, easily understood, but challenging to live out

    Matthew 5: 43-45 Review We continue to explore John Wesley’s “Three Simple Rules” Do no harm, Do Good and Stay in love with God. You know, just when we think we are ready to buy into the idea of not doing harm, of “Do no Harm,” to anyone or anything, we find ourselves facing an even more ...read more

    Is there a real, personal Satan and a kingdom of evil against which we are in spiritual combat?

    Today we are looking at a rather remarkable story of Jesus as he leaves Nazareth and goes to Capernaum. As is his habit, he goes to the synagogue to teach. Again the people are amazed. But Luke tells us that the reason the people are amazed at Capernaum is not because of his gracious words, but ...read more

    Abraham believed and followed God's promises and God credited him with righteousness. Because of Jesus' death and resurrection, we, like Abraham, can be accounted as righteous through faith also.

    ROMANS 4: 19-25 UNWAVERING FAITH Salvation is not something earned. It is a free gift. It is not something deserved, it is from God's grace to all who will actively take God at His Word. In this passage there is another example which illustrates Abraham's justification by faith. God gave ...read more

    It's easy to get discouraged about our work for the Lord when we look at it from a worldly perspective. But God is doing a work that is not always visible to you and me.

Amen. Beloved, the Bible talks about the sower who in his ...read more

    "Can you help us?”If the question is ever asked of you, where will you go with it? Maybe it won't be direct but cloaked in pain, soaked in questions or the agony of searching for an answer when no answers come.

    The believers were not called Christians in Jerusalem, but were called Christians in Antioch.

    Text: “The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch” (Acts 11:26). Who is a Christian? How would you define a Christian?
