    One Lord, One Gospel

    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 is, ...read more

    The council at Jerusalem concludes that grace and faith come to both Jews and Gentiles.

    INTRODUCTION They are called “Watershed Events.” They may seem insignificant at the time, but they change our lives or even the course of human history. Today’s story of the First Church Council of Jerusalem is such an event. The decision to allow Gentiles into the new, growing Christian community ...read more

    God Almighty can keep the promises he makes! Trust him.

    The last time I shopped for a baseball glove, it took me all summer to find what I wanted. Why? Because I wanted a particular brand, a Mizuno, which is made in Japan. But since I was in the States that summer I had a hard time finding Mizuno equipment. Wilsons and Rawlings were everywhere, but no ...read more

    God’s Grace On A Collision Course Series

     | 1,510 views

    Peter's prejudicial sentiments lingering like a foul odor in his mind collided with God's grace. Only a fresh breath of God's grace, could clear the air, and open up the door to a world of Gentiles who were waiting to follow Christ.

    Sermon - God’s Grace On a Collision Course Scripture: Acts 10:1-23 “In Caesarea there lived a Roman army officer named Cornelius, who was a captain of the Italian Regiment. 2 He was a devout, God-fearing man, as was everyone in his household. He gave generously to the poor and prayed regularly to ...read more

    Salvation means more than we are saved, we shall go to heaven when we die. Salvation provides complete restoration, pulling us out of the muck and mire of sin and bringing us back into a proper relationship with God.

    The Danger of Neglect By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. SCRIPTURE: - Hebrews 2:1-4 “Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience ...read more

    What Is The Significance Of The Fortune In The Field And The Goodly Pearl?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Apr 6, 2024
     | 249 views

    Have we counted the cost of servanthood? What are we willing to give for the fortune that God has provided for us?

    Jesus oftentimes instructed by using parables or illustrations. Stories, even short ones like these, are a strong method for conveying a major thought or to answer an unavoidable issue. Language or specialized terms probably will not let a thought hit home for a great many people. Associating the ...read more

    God’s Grace Collides With Culture

    Unless you happen to be like the man who said: "I am not prejudiced, I hate everyone!" All of us if we are honest are prejudiced. When prejudice is in operation, it will always collide with God's grace.

    When we give, not just out of our wealth, but as a sacrifice it counts as a credit with God, a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God, that opens up God's riches to meet our needs.

    A little girl once planned to give her father a pair of slippers for his birthday. When asked where she would get the money, she confidently replied, "Father will give it to me." Although it may seem strange for a father to buy his own gift, the father appreciated the gesture and the love behind ...read more

    That Sinner!

    A sermonette (I will use this at rest home services) about a bloke who had it so right with God it really make things quite messy in his relationships with his fellow man. Hey I'm just pleased I'm not like him. ;)

    Jesus had a subtle and sometimes not so subtle way of getting through to people. I like how he delivers a message to a group of people who thought they had it bang on right with God, to a group of people who were confident that they had it right with God. Jesus tells them a story that actually cuts ...read more

    If I am unwilling to forgive can I still find forgiveness?

    Read the passage… “Did Jesus really mean what he said in verse 26? We live in a time when many don’t mean what they say. How many times have you done as I have…telling your children over and over that if they don’t stop doing something or if they don’t do ...read more
