    The Only Way To Salvation Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 7, 2021
     | 2,295 views

    Paul urges the Jewish legalists to believe the Gospel, highlighting their errors in having a zeal for God but without knowledge of the truth, trusting in their own righteousness and making excuses not to trust Christ for righteousness. Salvation is available to all who believes.

    Paul discusses the problem of Jewish unbelief from Romans 9-11. • He started off in chapter 9 telling us of God’s sovereignty and His purpose in election. • God has not failed when He chose Israel to serve His purpose in salvation, even though many would reject Christ. He would save a ...read more

    Sermon # 32 - Reflecting God's Image Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 28, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,040 views

    We are created in the image of God, and when we choose to reflect His image through our lives we may be hated or even persecuted. Let’s see how God’s justice and righteousness will always prevail over every evil plot of the enemy.

    We read in Genesis 1:26, And God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” (KJV) Why was man ...read more

    "god Won’t Give You More Than You Can Handle" Series

    Contributed by Fred Sigle on Jan 12, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,668 views

    I know you have a Scripture in mind that you believe actually states that "God won't give you more than you can handle", but that is not what the Bible says.

    Last week we began a series entitled: “THE BIBLE DOESN’T SAY THAT”, looking at some popular sayings that many BELIEVE are found in the Bible, but are not. 1. The first one we studied last week was: “God wants me to be happy.” (If you missed that lesson, you can listen to it in the ...read more

    Sermon # 17 - Overcome Fear With Faith Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 2, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 615 views

    Fear is real and there are many situations that disturb us and create a sense of fear in our hearts. If we recognize that God is our shield, and put our faith in Him, all our fears are annulled and will be replaced with courage and peace.

    We read in Genesis 15:1, Later the LORD spoke his word to Abram in a vision. He said, "Abram, don't be afraid. I am your shield. Your reward will be very great." (GW) God knows our name There were certain events that transpired in Abram’s life that left him with a sense of fear and ...read more

    Each one of us is a member of God’s body the church. God is building His church and the gates of hell will never prevail against it. Let us stand firm on God’s promised and His faithfulness and be united as a church.

    Today, the seventh Sunday after Easter is observed by many all over the world as Pentecost Sunday to commemorate the day when the Holy Spirit of God was made manifest to the disciples and believers in the early church.

    Sermon # 30 - Fasting - A Spiritual Discipline Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 29, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 734 views

    The people of Nineveh fasted and repented of their sinful ways at the preaching of Jonah. Fasting is a spiritual discipline, which helps us set aside physical food to spend time with God so that we are strengthened on the inside and can experience genuine transformation in our lives.

    We read in Jonah 3:4-5, Jonah started through the city, and after walking a whole day, he proclaimed, "In forty days Nineveh will be destroyed!" The people of Nineveh believed God's message. So they decided that everyone should fast, and all the people, from the greatest to the least, ...read more

    Isaiah’s simple concept of the word being like rain and snow is encouraging to us.

    July 10, 2005 Isaiah 55:10-11 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me ...read more

    Life As A Stunted Plan Series

    Do you feel a lack of growth? It could be that you are experiencing the effects of bad doctrine or that you need to re-connect to the root - Jesus Christ.

    The Colossians were Christians - they knew Jesus as their Savior. But what threatened them in the proto-Gnostic heresy was a lack of maturity. They were like plants - plants that hadn’t grown up and were stunted in their maturity. As Christians if we do not grow in our discipleship in Christ ...read more

    Imagine that a genie appeared to you just like in the movie Aladin.

    Recently I heard about a middle school in Oregon that faced a unique problem. It seems that a number of girls there were going into the bathrooms and putting on their lipstick.
