    Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (2 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 1,385 views

    In the first sermon it was mentioned that in order to understand the books of 1, 2, and 3 John, we first needed to understand some things about the place John wrote from, Ephesus.

    Because this is essential, I would like to refresh your memory before we get into the heart of this sermon. We dealt with these FOUR things about the Ephesian Christians: (1) THEIR HERITAGE. They were second and third generation Christians. Their parents and grandparents had been in the ...read more

    Love Those Who Are Lost

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 11, 2022
     | 1,894 views

    Romans chapter eight ends with the amazing claim that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. But before the apostle Paul moves on with what is considered the “practical application” portion of his letter, he first needs to address his concern for those outside of Christ.

    Alba 3-6-2022 LOVE THOSE WHO ARE LOST Romans 9:1-5 Ray Stedman, who was a minister in California, once asked a congregation why they had dismissed their preacher. “Well”, they said, “he kept telling us we were all going to hell.” Steadman asked, “What does the new preacher say?” The congregation ...read more

    Is it harder to turn the other cheek, to offer something else when someone has taken something from us, to be generous, to be merciful and to go the extra mile?

    LOVING OUR ENEMIES Text: Luke 6: 26-38 Luk 6:27-38  "But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,  (28)  bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.  (29)  If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and ...read more

    The Choices God Makes

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 17, 2022
     | 2,172 views

    Scripture uses the term “the elect” to describe Christians. That word (eklogç) has the meaning of picking or choosing. Christians are the chosen ones of God. He made the choice, and He set the standard for the choice.

    Alba 3-13-2022 THE CHOICES GOD MAKES Romans 9:6-33 It's not fair! That is a cry from many people about situations that don’t go their way! Today in our society there are many who have taken this to a new level! Someone will say, “It’s not fair that little Johnny’s team has to lose, so let’s ...read more

     | 1,917 views

    We live in a generation where GRATITUDE is very seldom expressed. We hear a great deal of complaining instead.

    Illus: Did you hear about the doctor that was complaining to a car mechanic? He said, "Your fee is several times more per hour than we get paid for medical care." The mechanic said, "Yeah, but you see, doc, you always have the same model, it hasn't changed since Adam; but we ...read more

     | 4,764 views

    It's one of the most stunning truths of Scripture: We can and will face the consequences of our sin, but we will never face the punishment for our sin. Christ already has.
