    Peace At Christmas Series

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Dec 13, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 467 views

    The Heart of Christmas: Peace proclaims that true, lasting peace is not found in circumstances but is announced at the manger, accomplished at the cross, and displayed through God’s reconciled people who live as peacemakers in a broken world through faith in Jesus Christ.

    Legitimate Use Of Rituals Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 29, 2024
     | 823 views

    For a person to be declared righteous by God, rituals/sacraments are unnecessary. Justification is by faith alone. So, what is the value of rituals like water baptism and the Lord's Supper? Using Romans 4:11, this message seeks to answer that question.

    Intro Last week we expounded Romans 4:9-12. There Paul used Abraham’s experience to prove circumcision is not a prerequisite for justification. In that study, we did not have time to talk about why God gave Abraham the rite of circumcision. If it is of no value for justification, then what is its ...read more

     | 2,214 views

    Excuses can rob us of God's best. They are an enemy of great faith and accomplishment. In this examination of Luke 14:15-24, we learn from Jesus's story about those who excused themselves from a great feast. Those people missed the opportunity of a lifetime.

Follow with me as we read that passage. “Now when one of those who sat at the table with Him heard these things, he said to Him, ‘Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God! 16 Then He [Jesus] said to him, ‘A certain man gave a great ...read more
