Sermons on Pure Atonement:

God's Awesome Plan

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 16, 2024

At Easter we think of how Jesus, by dying on the cross, freed us from our slavery to sin. But we can't think, 'I'm saved and that's all that matters to me.' God saves us for a purpose. We need to grasp God's purpose and engage with it.

INTRODUCTION — THE TREASURE WE’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR Every child dreams of buried treasure. We’ve all seen the movies — a worn map, a red “X,” a promise whispered through time: “Somewhere out there, something precious is waiting to be found.” But what if I told you that the greatest treasure in the ...read more

Mercy Took My Seat

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025

When Religion Collides With Revelation

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 8, 2025

Cain and Abel reveal two spiritual systems: self-made religion or grace-filled revelation. God accepts only the worship shaped by surrender to His revealed way.

Some of the most defining moments in Scripture arrive without fanfare. No thunder. No angels. No miracles that split seas or shake mountains. Just a simple scene, described with almost startling brevity, that quietly reveals the inner architecture of the human heart. The story of Cain and Abel in ...read more
