Our Rest Only In God.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 16, 2021

The Christian faith, after all, is deeply personal. When we abide in Christ, we rest in God.

OUR REST ONLY IN GOD. Psalm 84:1-4. At the end of the celebration of Passover, in Jewish homes scattered throughout the world, the parting toast is, ‘Next year in Jerusalem!’ The sentiment echoes a common consciousness, a restlessness if you will, which is forever drawing God’s people back ...read more

Complete In Christ

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Dec 15, 2016

Introduction to the letter to the Ephesians. What does it mean if I say that if you’re a Christian you’re “in Christ”?

Or are you like me and are still thinking some things through? Of course those who are well educated theologically have probably ...read more

Why The Church Series

Contributed by John Sears on Jun 12, 2014

In our culture where the influence of the church is diminishing, why should we BE the church? The answer is found in the identity of Jesus and the promises he makes about the Kingdom he is establishing (the church).

Why the Church I want to share some staggering statistics about church. Since the year 2000, more than 4000 churches in America have closed the doors to their buildings each year. That's more than 40,000 churches. At the turn of the 1900’s there were 27 churches to every 10,000 people. ...read more

The Judgment Seat Of Christ

Contributed by Larry Cockerham on Jul 1, 2002

The thought of a public examination before the Judgment bar of our Lord should be incentive enough to awaken even the most slumbering saint of God.

The thought of a public examination before the Judgment bar of our Lord should be incentive enough to awaken even the most slumbering saint of God. Yet few, if any, ever give it a second thought. Paul declared, "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God" (Rom. 14:12). Perhaps ...read more

Listen To Christ Always

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 9, 2023

As a nation we are abandoning the moral law written into our hearts by God. It’s almost too much to hear it without weeping.

Nineteenth Sunday in Course Year A 2023 St. Paul had a big problem. He’s putting together the first real systematic theology of salvation in his letter to the Church at Rome, but he’s run into a wall. Paul is a Jew, an observant Jew, but he has come to believe in Jesus as Son of God and Messiah of ...read more

By Our Words

We might not feel comfortable sharing our faith, but let's make sure that we don't sabotage those who do.

Loyalty (Part 3) Series

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 13, 2010

Being a follower of Jesus can give people a strong sense of their own identity. Indeed you could even say that to belong to Christ, to be "in Christ", to be a member of his body, is the only identity we need.
