Sinner’s Prayer

Contributed by Glenn Abel on Jul 6, 2012

This sermon was preached in response to reading a book that attacked the idea and validity of using the sinner’s prayer.

"What About the Sinner’s Prayer?" Luke 18:10-13 The “sinner’s prayer” gets a bad rap.

Why Pray?

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 24, 2011

Mind Control Series

Contributed by James Hays on Apr 18, 2020

Last week we presented thoughts on making the most of our opportunities, redeeming the time because it is our purpose to be imitators of God in these uncertain times. Perhaps the greatest obstacle in redeeming our time for God is found in the realm of mind control. Who controls your mind?

Free To Abide Series

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Sep 10, 2024

Many of us know we should “ABIDE in Christ” as we are instructed in John 15:4-5. But somehow we don’t seem to be able to ABIDE, and we don’t have the evidence of the fruits of the spirit listed in Galatians 5:22.

Jesus said, “ Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches.
