    The Bible gives truths to help us discern God's will for us. Yes, we are to live by faith. However, our faith is to be based from Biblical truths that are eternal.

    A sermon describing open theism and gives reasons why it cannot be (much taken from Matthew Henry's commentary on this passage)

    HoHum: The following list of statements are not meant to be offensive to the Open Theist.  They are meant to be both humorous and illustrative.  Open Theism teaches that God does not know future events, that He can be surprised by them, that He can make mistakes, and that He learns what will happen ...read more

    Religious opposition to the Gospel!

    PERSECUTION: THE OPENING SALVOES. Acts 4:1-31; Acts 5:12-42. Soon after the early success of Pentecost, the fledgling New Testament church found herself facing persecution.

    We’re all so different. We come from different backgrounds, different convictions. But when we all love each other and open arms to all kinds of people, that’s when the beauty of unity is seen. And God wants that here.

    INTRODUCTION Open your Bibles to Romans 15. I am preaching through the book of Romans verse after verse. We are actually coming down to the last two chapters. Paul is trying to get very practical as he speaks to the church there in Rome. And you’ve got to remember, there are all different ...read more

    Doors: Open Or Closed

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 24, 2017

     | 82,756 views

    The majority of the body of Christ believes that God opens doors (a "yes" answer to prayer) and closes doors (a "no" answer to prayer) in their lives. Does scripture support such a belief?

    The message today is one that I believe is going to challenge traditional thinking in the Body of Christ. How many of you have heard the following statements and, perhaps, even said them? ? When God opens a door no one can close it. ? When God closes a door no one can open it. ? When one door ...read more

    A sermon for Baptism of the Lord Sunday.

    “Heaven Torn Open” Mark 1:4-11 Throughout the Old Testament, from the Fall in Genesis—forward—God is cloaked in mystery.
