    The Guidance For The Saints

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 21, 2018
     | 4,950 views

    As believers, we experience complete transformation in salvation, and yet our salvation experience is an on-going process. We are saved wholly of grace, but that does not absolve us from responsibility in our Christian walk.

    The Guidance for the Saints 2 Peter 1: 9-11 Our text today is actually a continuation of the conversation we began to consider a few weeks ago. Clearly, Peter is writing to the church – to those saved by grace and added to the body of Christ. While we are not saved by works of the flesh, service ...read more

    Seeing Sin For What It Is Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,642 views

    Those who are in Christ are aware of the dangers and consequences of sin, and yet most today are unwilling to confront it. While we must work with compassion, we also have an obligation to address sin and deal with it in our lives.

    Seeing Sin for What it Is 1 John 3: 4-10 Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman used to tell of a Methodist preacher who often spoke on the subject of sin. He minced no words, but defined sin as “that abominable thing that God hates.” A leader in his congregation came to him on one occasion and urged ...read more

    Security Of The Believer (Pt. 1)

    Contributed by Thomas Clawser on May 7, 2018
     | 3,224 views

    If we live as God intends and Jesus taught, our security—conditional or unconditional—is in the hands of our Savior.

    One of the things we were taught at Evangelical is that preachers must not avoid difficult subjects or passages: those sincere believers may disagree on. In the next two weeks we consider such a subject. We ask God’s guidance and grace as we seek to understand. The doctrine of unconditional ...read more

    We tend to pray in a panic, when we could have prayed in preparation. Our prayer must also be responsible, accepting our own measure of responsibility.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC, September 21, 1986 One young friend of mine, taking the Scripture quite seriously and quite literally, where it says, "Ask anything in my name, and I will do it" – taking that verse to the nth degree, reports that he is still waiting for the Lord ...read more

    What King Is Announced By A Star? Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Dec 4, 2021
     | 2,558 views

    Stars cause us to wonder. What was the star that appeared when Jesus was born? Was it a comet from a remote part of the solar system which happened to arrive at just the right time? Or was the universe itself acknowledging the coming of its creator and king?

    Last Sunday we started our Christmas series of talks. I’ve given the series the title ‘NOT YOUR USUAL KING’. There are lots of ways in which Jesus is NOT your usual king. Last week we looked at some prophecies in the Old Testament that gave us the when, where and who of Jesus’ birth. No king ...read more

    Who Calls?

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 30, 2023
     | 1,080 views

    Hearing and answering God's call has four parts in two pairs. We need to recognize who God is, and who we are, and after being cleansed, we must respond.

    Do you ever screen your calls? By that I mean do you look to see who’s calling before you answer? I answer most of my calls right when they happen unless it’s tagged “scam likely” or I’m driving (I haven’t hooked up my Bluetooth yet) or if the phone is in the other room or if I accidentally left it ...read more
