     | 3,771 views

    The same crossroads that mankind had to choose from in Paul’s day are still with us today. The world is standing at the crossroads today, Will people choose the path of human justification and self-righteousness or will they take the path of God’s mercy

     | 6,146 views

    This sermon seeks to communicate the truth that all persons are responsible to acknowledge and know God and to refuse to do so leaves one subject to the wrath of God being revealed in their life rather than receiving the righteousness that comes from God

    Paul has made his point that he is proud of the gospel because it is the power of God for salvation. It provides deliverance from the penalty of sin (death) and freedom from sin’s power over us now (it no longer masters us). For in the gospel he points out that a righteousness from God is ...read more

    The bullseye is God’s righteousness, we have all missed the mark and sinned. We have all been like David and let sin into our lives. This message addresses sin, it’s consequences and the need for repentance.

    Sin 2 Samuel 12 1. We have all missed the mark. God’s bull’s eye is righteousness. Living right for God. From Adam on, all men except Jesus himself have missed the mark We should thank God when he sends people into our lives that help us ...read more

    Until a person recognizes that he stands guilty & condemned before God & that he is a sinner who does not meet God's standard of righteousness, there is no possibility of salvation. Only repentance that causes one to be severed from sin in a daily obedien

    ROMANS 2: 1-11 REPENTANCE IS PROVEN IN LIFE (The Judgment of Visible Verifiable Deeds) [Luke 18:9-14 / Matthew 16:27] Every person comes with a basic knowledge of good and evil built into them or nothing could be agreed upon in society.

    What’s next after REPENTANCE? The answer is RIGHTEOUSNESS and HOLINESS. For the Lord shall be like REFINER’S FIRE and SOAP for CLEANSING, PURIFICATION, REFINEMENT, SANCTIFICATION, CONSECRATION, etc… So that we may OFFER to the LORD and OFFERING of RIGHTEO

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,454 views

    The authority God has given Jesus Christ to literally (and physically) judge and punish those who turn away from the Father now begins to show. Jesus is no longer the sacrificial lamb, but acts in righteousness with unmerciful authority.

    Trampling the Winepress Revelation, Part 23, Revelation 14:17-20 Introduction - On His head is golden crown: signifying royalty and authority - In His hand: a Sickle which has only one use: to harvest -- Think of Jesus stepping to the edge of Heaven to reap what is His! - An angel ...read more

     | 13,202 views

    One of the greatest tools of the enemy to hinder the Saints of God is condemnation. This lie causes countless millions of God's people to sit on the sidelines. Truth is, God works in the midst of sin, imputes righteousness, & doesn't count temptation.

    See Ezra's prayer of confession. We acknowledge God's righteousness, submit to His judgement and agree with God concerning His view of sin. We trust in God's forgiving grace.

    Ezra 8 – Return to Jerusalem (from Babylon). Ezra returned with 4000 to 5000 people. Initially there weren’t any Levites among them and Ezra made an extra effort to gather them • He knew that he would need the Levites if he is going to teach the Law of God to the people.

    The Character Of A Disciple: Joy Series

     | 4,926 views

    There is something about doing the right thing that brings a “joy” … a sense of peace, assurance, righteousness … that comes from doing the right thing for the right reason … whatever may befall us as we do the right thing for right reason.

    THE CHARACTER OF A DISCIPLE: JOY Scripture: 1st Peter 1:3-9 We are all familiar with the horrors that Jesus went through during His arrest and crucifixion: The betrayal.

    Through Jesus Christ we approach God with confidence, trusting 100% in His merits and righteousness and none of our own. Jesus reveals the Father heart of God to us, and we're called to pursue God in holiness and love.

    August 26, 2018 Sermon - 1 John 5:13-21 - “Confident That We are His!”. For much of my adolescence and young adulthood I struggled with how I felt about myself, with confidence.

    Anger is something that can ruin your life. It is the root of murder and should therefore be treated at the root. You should not act on unrighteous anger, but should live in righteousness. Jesus shows us how He filfills the Law of murder.
