Offer Grace (Show And Tell)

Contributed by Scott Jensen on Sep 13, 2019

Central to the Christian faith is the doctrine of grace—that God gives us that which we don’t deserve. Instead of just talking about this doctrine, however, we are also called to live out this doctrine in how we treat others.

Opening and Introduction In elementary school, many kids look forward to show and tell. I have two kids, Tiffany and Tyler. Both loved to bring their favorite toys to school to show their friends.

Your Body: The Temple Of God

Contributed by Harold Ihua on Aug 23, 2024

Contributed by James Cloud on Mar 27, 2010

How many times do we neglect the sacrament of the Eucharist (Communion) for the "thrills" of the modern age? This is a call back to the Early Church and what they held about this Most Blessed Sacrament.

Eschatology 3 Of 16 Our Glorified Bodies (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 13, 2022

In the last two sermons, we have been talking about the rapture of the church. I want to remind you again, the rapture is different from the second coming of Christ.

Look at 1 Thess 4:17 “Then we ...read more
