    This gives us a good understanding of Paul’s teaching about salvation

    UNDERSTANDING SALVATION Romans 10:1-13 * One of the saddest and greatest tragedies in history is recorded in April of 1912.

    Playing The Fool

     | 2,526 views

    Sarcasm betrays anger at ourselves or at others, but we cannot let it fester. We need to come to the Cross, where there is reconciliation.

    Words have power. The things we say to one another have power. Kids may deal with smart-mouths in the schoolyard by chanting, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me." But that’s rubbish! Don’t you believe it? Names do hurt. Words hurt. The things we say to each other do ...read more

    Let’s see what is significant and important about this stone. 1- He was rejected by men 2- He was chosen by God 3- He was accepted by saints

    INTRO.- A stone. How about a headstone on a grave? Guess what is the largest cemetery in the US? ILL.- The largest cemetery in the United States is Arlington National Cemetery, situated on the Potomac River in Virginia. It covers 612 acres, and more than 240,000 members of the armed forces are ...read more

    How To Be A Living Sacrifice Series

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on May 16, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 51,178 views

    The principle of self-sacrifice is foundational to the doctrine of the Christian life. In our lesson today I want to examine how to be a living sacrifice.

    Scripture For the past few weeks we have been studying Romans 12:1-2. In Romans 12 the Apostle Paul begins applying the doctrine that he has been teaching for the previous 11 chapters. Now, it is not that he has made no application in the previous 11 chapters; he has. However, as he begins chapter ...read more

    Boaz had a "rude awakening" when he found Ruth at his feet on the winnowing floor. She had a need and Boaz was the answer to her need. In the same way, God meets our need for a redeemer.

    A Rude Awakening Series: Ruth Chuck Sligh August 25, 2013 TEXT: Turn to Ruth 3 INTRODUCTION Life is sometimes filled with “rude awakenings.” Illus. – I remember a newspaper story of a man whose bedroom faced a curve in a road that went by his house.

    A brief message on accepting all who need Jesus

    Attracting the Opposites Luke 15:1-2 I think it’s amazing when we look at the people who followed after Jesus. • I’m not talking about the disciples that He called to follow Him ~ I’m talking about the other people that we see around Him most often. • It ...read more

    The kind of worship God seeks...

    If you look in any dictionary the general definition of worship is the expression of reverence and adoration toward God. Some say that worship is exaltation and magnification. There are others who propose that worship is exploration that is peppered with enjoyment. Some others would probably concur ...read more

    God destroys the barriers that divide us. In Him there are no insiders or outsiders.

    EPHESIANS # 4 Last week I took the text for the message from Ephesians 2:1-10. That passages hinges on two words in v. 4 – “But, God...” With those words darkness is turned light, hopelessness is thrown aside for favor, a desperate situation is changed to one of amazing ...read more

    The Sign Of Cleansing The Temple Series

    Jesus performed seven signs in the Gospel of John; the second sign was the cleansing of the Temple.

    The Sign of Cleansing the Temple John 2: 13-25 Religious zeal was certainly a great part of Jewish culture: We saw in John 2: 1-12 that the purification rites of the Jews were held in high esteem, but exterior washings did not provide heart cleansing. The Savior changed the water into wine at ...read more

    But Lord said, Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.

    He, who created the world, the universe, you and me, you think he’s not aware of your pain? He, who is holding our every tear, you think he’ll not recompense those? He, who throttled the evil, doesn’t know what you are going through? Oh my brothers and sisters, do not worry about anything for HE ...read more

    Embracing Grace

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 2, 2022
     | 2,049 views

    The vast majority of people do not "accept" Christ (Luke 4:24) but refuse the "favor" (grace) He offers (v. 19). God has sent Christ to offer His grace. We must embrace the grace offered in Christ. Luke shows us how.

    There’s a key word in this passage that I would like to point out. It is not obvious in the English, so it’s a bit tricky. But the word ‘favor’ in verse 19 and the word ‘acceptable’ in verse 24 render the same Greek word, which is dektos. In fact, in the King James Version it is translated ...read more

    If you want to be free from the pressure to perform and impress others, don’t seek to impress others with yourself. Instead, just be impressed with what Christ has done for you on the cross.

    Once upon a time an old man and his son were on their way to market. The old man was leading a donkey and the boy was walking behind when they went through the first village. There, the people called the old man a fool for not riding the donkey, so he climbed up on the animal’s back. In the second ...read more

    One Lord, One Gospel

    Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Jan 14, 2017
     | 4,405 views

    Salvation is for everyone; even those who don't resemble us. With Christ’s help, we can put aside the partiality that binds us, and love people as He does.

    Most of us like to assume that we're enlightened, tolerant, and unprejudiced people. Unfortunately, a new study reveals many of us have a hidden bias against anyone with a foreign accent. According to a summary of the study in The Wall Street Journal, "The further from native-sounding an accent ...read more
