    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jun 20, 2023
     | 2,442 views

    There are a lot of people that live under this same heavy burden. But the good news that I share with each of these persons is the same good news that is available to everyone. Jesus came to forgive and to give grace to all who will trust in Him.

    Isaiah saw three visions: an upward one, of God; an inward one, of himself; and an outward vision, of the needs of the lost people around him. If we hope to change the world then we need the same three visions.

    Some reason that if the death of Jesus is the atonement for the sins of the whole world, why is everyone’s sins still not forgiven? The Lord Jesus has completed all that needs to be done for our salvation, however, it is up to each one of us to accept this free gift of salvation.

    We read in Psalm 91:14,“Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name.” (ESV) As we continue this series of studies on Psalm 91, from verse 14 on wards are the words of assurance from God Himself.

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jun 18, 2024
     | 1,486 views

    Misguided zeal is dangerous. The things that most threaten the Gospel and the abundance and freedom in Jesus Christ are caused by misguided zeal. Some things may appear to be good, maybe even seem godly, yet stand in the way of the gospel.

    Sermon: Paul’s Encounter on the Road to Damascus Scripture: Acts 9:1-11 “Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord’s followers.

     | 275 views

    This section begins the lament – the utterance of sadness and failure. There are 9 verses of lament here and this Part deals with 2 of them. Was the LORD responsible for Judah’s suffering? It is a sad thing but sinfulness always brings misery and suffering upon the participants.

    “Blessed to Be a Blessing” Matthew 25:31-45 I think it is easy to overlook or simply forget just how radical the teachings of Jesus Christ are.

    The Wise Men were the ultimate seekers after Jesus. They left their businesses, their families, their reputations, and risked their lives to honor the Christ-child. The very night after their visit, the holy Family had to flee Herod. What timing!
