    The analysis of the topic of repentance as set forth in Luke 13:1-9 teaches that all people must repent if they are to avoid truly perishing.

    Real discipleship is demanding. It takes a lot for a spur-of-the-moment impulse to become a lifetime commitment to following Christ.

    Title: No Ifs, Ands or Buts! Text: Luke 9:59-62 Thesis: Real discipleship is demanding… it takes a lot for a spur-of-the-moment impulse to become a lifetime commitment. Introduction I mentioned last week that author, Eric Weiner, described himself as a “Confusionist” when it ...read more

    Saved To Serve

    Contributed by David Hersey on Mar 27, 2015
     | 10,636 views

    A relationship with God is a long term commitment and dependent upon obedience to His will. Christians are therefore saved to serve God. This lesson looks at Christian service from a comprehensive biblical perspective.

    Saved To Serve A few months ago, we looked at how to develop a relationship with God. We learned that only the obedient know Him (1 John 2:4); love Him (John 14:23-24); are His friends (John 15:14); and of His family (Matthew 12:50). We looked at the importance of obedience to God as it relates ...read more

     | 6,376 views

    Justice and Mercy are polar opposities. Then how does God's plan for salvation satisfy the demands of both?

    This is Part 4 of an 8-part series, which was originally developed for a 13-week adult class, with some of the parts taking more or less than a 45-minute class period.

    Different Freedom, Different Father And Different Faith Series

     | 11,276 views

    If you are in Christ, if you have repented and accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour then the Bible says you are a child of God. Your relationship with God has been restored, you are reconciled to our Heavenly Father.

    Do you want other people to like you? I think the answer for all of us is yes. In our heart, we all have a desire to be approved – to be liked. Often we allow our sense of self-esteem to be based on the opinions others have of us. Why is it that we so often feel or think badly about ourselves? Is ...read more

    Our society today acts like it prefers a wimpy, compromising deity, that will agree its sins are ok. But an honest appraisal of what we will respect and honor as God demands that God be exactly who the Bible portrays: the Holy & uncompromising God!

    Freedom in Christ doesn't mean you have no master. It means you have a new master.

    Good morning! Please turn in your Bibles to Romans chapter 6. It’s been a minute since we have been in the book or Romans.

    Since earthly governments are an extension of God’s authority in the lives of mankind we are call upon to submit to them.
