    Continuing in our series on understanding the authority of a believer

    Last week we began to look at the authority of believers Paul spoke of in the book of Ephesians.

    What faith is it through which we are saved

    Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved, through faith, and that not of youselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.” All the blessings which God has bestowed upon mankind flow from His grace or favor; His free, undeserved favor.

    Pride And Predjudice Or The Waterboy

    How our pride and arrogance keeps us from seeing that our calling in life is to love those around us and share the blessings that we have been given by God. "The Rich Man and Lazarus"

    Placing the Story: condemnation of: wealth equals righteous and poverty equals sin. As we look at this passage by itself it becomes very difficult to figure out what exactly Jesus is talking about. Is Jesus giving us a picture of Heaven and Hell? Is He warning us about being rich? Are we being ...read more

    Contributed by Bruce Willis on Dec 21, 2006
    based on 10 ratings
     | 3,892 views

    This sermon seeks to contrast the difference in the persons life who is "in Christ" as opposed to one who is "in Adam" from the perspective of The Exchanged Life.

    In those four verses what phrase is referred to three times? It’s the phrase “in Christ” or “in Him” meaning Christ. So my question and the subject of this sermon is: “What does it mean to be in Christ?” For a couple of weeks now, I’ve talked about what it means to be “in Adam.” In fact, 1 ...read more
