Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 13, 2024

Our high privileged position is to be lifted from sin and made the adopted sons of God. That makes us heirs, and this time we are opening up what THE INHERITANCE is that God has reserved for us in heaven. It is so wonderful. The inheritance was purchased at greatest cost. Praise God!

We live in a culture where the price tags have been switched. So how do we know what we're worth?

Is God so good? Is God so good to me - to you - all the time?

“Between the Lines: Is God So Good?” Romans 8:28-29 Okay. Sing with me: “God is so good, God is so good, God is so good, He’s so good to me.” So simple to sing – yet so often difficult to believe.

Afraid Of God

Contributed by Jeremy Houck on Jun 11, 2005

John Calvin wrote, "Men are never duly touched and impressed with a conviction of their insignificance, until they have contrasted themselves with the majesty of God." The more we look at God, the more evil we discover.

Afraid of God Isaiah 6:1-8 Over the past few weeks on Sunday evenings we have been looking at the Biblical portrait of Jehovah. We have looked at the fact that we were created by God with a holy hunger that only the creator can fill. Then we spent three weeks looking at the qualities we find in ...read more

Diagnosing The Problem Series

Contributed by Rob Jansons on Sep 14, 2010

This is the "Total Depravity" sermon without using the stock theological labels. It is the first sermon in the series and it's covert because too many of our listens will shut down their receptors when they hear the words "Calvinism."

Last week we listened to a story, a parable, that Jesus told about a Pharisee and a tax collector. Here is what he said: “To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: 10 "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a ...read more
