Faith Is Accounted For Righteousness

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Aug 23, 2021

God has always required those who want to be righteous to place their faith in Him. This has been always been true. As far back as Abraham in the Old Testament it has been true.

Alba 8-22-2021 FAITH IS ACCOUNTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS Romans 4 John Newton, who wrote the song “Amazing Grace”, once said: “Down through life I have forgotten a lot of things.

Just A Misunderstanding - Or - Just Being Contentious?

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 3, 2023

We examine the CHORUS of a great old hymn that a few say is not doctrinally correct. Are those critics misunderstanding what the words mean, or are they being contentious? We carefully look at the work of Calvary in the message.

JUST A MISUNDERSTANDING - OR - JUST BEING CONTENTIOUS? [1]. A HYMN CHORUS UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT There would be none of us who is without misunderstanding when it comes to biblical issues. We may try with God’s help to grasp a passage of scripture but sometimes it is not within our reach. Then ...read more

Rebuilding The Lord’s Altar

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 5, 2023

God is a God of altars. In Old Testament, altar played a very important role. It was a place of sacrifices and setting things right with God. After the sacrifice, many instances were there that God comes and speaks.

Rahab: Remember The Name Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 30, 2022

Read Hebrews chapter 11 hall of faith. Where is Joshua? Where is Caleb? They did not make the hall of faith list. Rahab the harlot did. She is a great Old Testament hero of the faith.

Rahab is a harlot, a prostitute. In the footnote of my Bible it says that she is possibly the innkeeper. No, that is not a possible interpretation, and I will mention why a little later. When we come to the book of Joshua we come to a new era for the people of Israel with a new leader: Joshua. ...read more

How To Worship God Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 16, 2022

Psalm 100 shows how seriously worship was taken in Old Testament times. That in itself is enough to tell us we should take worship seriously today. There is a back and forth rhythm to this Psalm.

Do you need to learn to do something new? How will you learn? You could read a how to book. You could watch an instructional video on the internet. But if you want to know how to worship God you should spend time in Psalm 100 the divinely inspired how to worship guide. Psalm 100 Shout for joy to ...read more

Embracing Change — Making Room For Pure Religion

Contributed by Ron Auch Jr on Jun 1, 2025

31. Romans Chapter 7 Verses 15-25 - Messages In Romans – Gentiles Are Not Part Of Chapter 7 – Not The Battle Of The Two Natures - Message 31 Part 3 Of 3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 17, 2025

We conclude Roman 7 - the experience of a devout man under the Law trying to keep the Law - but always being defeated. Finally, victory in in the Lord Jesus. Chapter 7 is not a Christian battling sin. The Christian is NOT in this chapter. To say so has confused the whole matter.

At The Crossroads?

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Mar 14, 2026

A crossroads or junction is a place where you need to make a decision. One road leads one way, another road leads somewhere entirely different. And once you choose the road to move on, the direction of your journey changes, for better or for worse!
