Valuing The Giver Rather Than The Gift / Dependence Day

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Sep 13, 2015

The things in this world, even the things that we pray earnestly for, often end up distracting us from the Giver of the Gift.

Dependence Day This morning we look at dependence on God, and identifying the difference between loving gifts, and loving and worshiping the Giver of All Good Gifts. Our Gospel lesson for this morning is a great lesson, in fact, for Thanksgiving Day services. As we examine it, we can see a nice ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

At the beginning of the Book of Galatians, we saw that Paul dealt with two problems.

Defending The Faith Sermon V: Embrace The Distinctiveness Of Christ As King Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on May 6, 2020

In times of upheaval, as the Christian Faith is attacked by unbelievers and scoffers, we Christians must separate ourselves from those that deny and defy the Lord God but we wholeheartedly embrace Christ as King and Lord.

IN TIMES LIKE THESE . . . CHRISTIANS EMBRACE THE DISTINCTIVENESS OF CHRIST AS KING Statistically, what’s true of Christianity worldwide is not true of Christianity in the USA. It is without a doubt true that our nation is like the rest of the world in that all have sinned ...read more
