Healed But Not Whole

Contributed by Rex E. Faile on Jan 31, 2007

Too Much Religion In The Wrong Place

Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 12, 2019

Religion is the expression of one's faith put into practice. For many professed Christians, religion is all they have, because they don't have the faith of Christ the Lord. Too much religion will tend to lead us astray. Faith will lead us to Christ.

Earthen Treasure Series

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Feb 13, 2012

The Fountainhead Of Faith

Contributed by Byron Perrine on Jul 9, 2019

This message was given at the funeral of a Christian woman who, prior to her death, had asked me to preach about God’s plan of salvation, a “born again message” as she put it, at her funeral for the benefit of some of her family who had not yet accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Growing In The Lord Committed To Serve

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Jun 25, 2023

We need to understand that when we are committed to serve we are put in the position of a servant. Some of us may find that hard to do or be, but if we want to grow in the Lord we have to be: 1) a servant, 2) committed to that service.

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 19, 2025

The Day Of The Lord

Contributed by Amar Chandnani on Apr 28, 2025
