    A Rebuke To Forgiveness-Only Salvation

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Sep 30, 2025
     | 97 views

    This is a challenging passage. Surely Paul doesn't mean that we have to actually live like that?! What it all points us to is a false gospel that is too often preached today - "forgiveness-only" belief. What does this passage tell us about what real salvation looks like?

    A COMMON BELIEF TODAY: I am “saved” and unchanged. - Matthew 7:15-20; Matthew 7:24-27; Luke 13:6-9; John 15:8. - This passage makes us uncomfortable. It sounds harsh and unrealistic. We will delve into how we are to understand it as we move forward. - A good place to start is a major reason why ...read more

    The pursuit of holy living is the pathway to a happy life.

    Only Two Ways to Live Psalm 1:1-6 Rev. Brian Bill December 28-29, 2024 I want to begin with a question to see how well you know your Bible. Q: What did Adam say to his wife on December 31st? A: It’s New Year’s, Eve. How many of you plan to make a New Year’s Resolution for 2025? I talked to ...read more

    I Am Only Human PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 26, 2023
    based on 3 ratings
     | 726 views

    This sermon's main point is that God, in His love for us, accepts our human strengths and weaknesses and is always ready to guide us through our triumphs and trials, as exemplified in Matthew 14:22-23.

    Good morning, family! We often hear that God made us in His image. But have you ever stopped to consider what that really means? Paul writes in Ephesians 4:24 and Colossians 3:10 that what it means to be made in the image of God is that we were originally made in knowledge, righteousness, and ...read more

    Dead Man Walking

     | 5,773 views

    In this passage, Paul delivered a riveting message - man apart from Christ is dead in sin. A dead man is hopeless to do anything to improve his situation - he's dead! Our only hope is found in Christ.

    Dead Man Walking Ephesians 2: 1-3 Often as those condemned to death by execution are led from their cell toward the death chamber, the other prisoners will say, “Dead man walking.” For the condemned, and all who face a similar fate, the reality of the situation begins to take hold. The condemned ...read more

    Hope In The Midst Of Darkness

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Jan 24, 2023
     | 2,993 views

    This is the time you need to hear the hope of the gospel, the hope of salvation and deliverance, no matter how discouraged you may be. We can make right choices even in the midst of darkness. To be encouraged and strengthened with words of faith. Your present situation is not the end of the story.

    I have heard it said time and time again over the years by Christian and non-Christian alike, that we are living in dark times. When we speak of darkness it could refer to the evils of untold suffering, catastrophes, cruelty, corruption, and malevolence. We have seen evil taking place on a global ...read more

    My goal is for you to become hopeless-give up hope of changing the past, give up hope of changing what others have done to us, and give up hope of changing ourselves.

    Hopeless. Have you ever felt like that? Totally without hope? You tried everything you could think of, you’re at the end of your rope, with no more solutions in sight and you wonder—am I hopeless? Now, I hope that the video and the actors didn’t make you think we’re down on counseling—we’re not. I ...read more

    Forget about what the news media is reporting, forget about what the popular opinion is right now on the internet and start to focus and call on the only opinion that really matters! Gods opinion!
