    Holiness For The Child Of God

    Contributed by Richard Cook on Aug 25, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,654 views

    Understanding the need for Holiness is often difficult for ministers to get across to their flocks; this sermon teaches the need to seperate ourselves from the world, and worldliness.

    1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. Some will argue that Holiness is not important, but I submit that if it is in the Bible it is important. Holiness in the life of a child of God is not optional but is a command; we can see that from our scripture reading. ...read more

    The Gospel. Part 3: What Happens If We Accept Jesus?

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Nov 15, 2020
     | 2,519 views

    When we accept Jesus we ARE a new creation and the old passes away. There is new birth and death. But we shouldn't imagine for a moment that the job is done. Just as a new baby needs nurturing, our new spiritual selves need nurturing. And our old selves need to be shown the door.
