The Perfect Law Of Freedom - James 1:23-25 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 17, 2021

The first half of this message is a crash course on how to interpret Scripture. The second half explains how God’s law increases the freedom in your life.

James 1:22 But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his own face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But the one ...read more

Three Questions About Our Good Shepherd Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 24, 2021

There is a lot in this passage. This message tries to boil it down to the big truths by asking three questions about our "good shepherd."

- At one level, this is a simple passage: Jesus is the Good Shepherd. - At another level, this passage is not simply understood. There is conflicting imagery (how is Jesus the shepherd and the gate?). It is difficult to get all the pieces to fit cleanly. - I echo a little the sentiment of v. 6 ...read more

Love That Doesn't Fail Series

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jun 26, 2014

This is why Jesus made a sacrifice for you and me. Because he really loves us. A love that doesn't fail is a love that sacrifices. The world has no idea what this real love is, because the world is selfish.

According to John those who say they love God show it by obeying the Word of God. There were those who were false teachers during John's day who claimed that they were apostles, too, just like John. There were others who claimed that Jesus wasn't really human, he didn't really suffer and die as a ...read more

Jesus' Sermon On The Mount

Contributed by James Williams on Jul 24, 2015

Jesus' sermon explains in what ways our righteousness must surpass that of the Scribes and the Pharisees. This is the narrow path that leads to life. This is not just saying "Lord, Lord," but doing the will of God.

How’s your righteousness? At what level is your righteousness? That’s an important question. Listen to these words of Jesus in Matthew 5:20, “For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of ...read more

Contributed by David Hersey on Mar 26, 2015

Grace is God's role in His plan for man. Faith is Man's responsibility. This lesson examines how each of these roles function in man's redemption, salvation and relationship with God.

The Flight Into Egypt

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 4, 2014

After our exile in the dark places of Egypt we are summoned to return to the place we came from, chastened and up-built by the experience which we have been through, and equipped for whatever may lay ahead.

THE FLIGHT INTO EGYPT. Matthew 2:13-15; Matthew 2:19-23. We have already established that Joseph Ben-David was a dreamer (Matthew 1:20). Although his angelic visitations took place in dreams, in visions of the night (Job 20:8), they were not nebulous apparitions. A real, tangible, substantial ...read more

Praise The Lord!

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Apr 13, 2014
