Often we hear disturbing things as we listen to the evening news. Sometimes the news we hear is so shocking that we are temporarily mesmerized by what we hear.

Such is the case in our text. I doubt that anywhere in the scriptures we could read a more disturbing passage than we have in this text. Let me show you what I mean. First, we read about... I. THE CONCUBINE WHAT IS A CONCUBINE? She was a secondary wife. In the Bible, most tribal chiefs, ...read more

When the Holy Spirit fights against our sinful desires, when we follow the Spirit’s leading and let Him guide our lives, and when we start seeing the fruit of the Spirit ripening in and around us—that’s holiness. That’s God’s ultimate goal for our lives.

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 21, 2024

Salvation brings freedom, but is that freedom a licence to sin? Paul uses strong language against the false teachers. We look at serving one another in love and what that means, and finish with considering “Christian cannibalism”.

THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 5:12-15 - MESSAGE 19 – FREEDOM BRINGS EXTRA RESPONSIBILITY – HOW TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER, AND CHRISTIAN CANNIBALISM Galatians is a powerful book.

Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 28 – The Lord Exposes The People’s Sins For They Had Married Sin And Religion Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 3, 2024

Great sinners think they can sin but God does not see it, or it does not matter if mixed with a bit of religion. God lists Judah’s sins. Sin hardens people. It grows callouses. God’s message just slips away with ease. We need to be serious with God and not indifferent about our relationship.
