Two Facts The Bible Teaches About Faith

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 4, 2022

Faith is probably preached about more than any subject of the Bible, yet it seems to be something that most Christians know very little about.

This may explain why many Christians are not growing in the Lord, and why their lives are void when it comes to the blessings of God. We cannot read about a single individual in the Bible, and not see how his/her faith affected him/her in a positive way, or how the lack of faith affected him/her ...read more

Faith in God is critical for our salvation and also for our walk with God. Learn from Abraham and put our faith in God's Word, His wisdom, and glorify God. Faith faces the facts with an unwavering trust in God.

Is faith in God important? Does our faith in Jesus Christ matter? Paul has been stressing to his readers that we are all justified by faith in Jesus Christ, our only way of salvation. • This was not a new, novel idea that he came up with. It was God’s plan for all men. • Paul highlighted in ...read more

Success In Simplicity

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 13, 2021

Jesus simplified everything he touched. The Old Testament saints had ten commandments to guide them, but Jesus said you can simplify these ten, and reduce them to two. Love God with all your being, and your neighbor as yourself.

C. S. Lewis, the brilliant atheist who became one of the most famous Christians of the 20th century, said, "It is no good asking for a simple religion after all, real things are not simple." Little did he realize, when he wrote those words in his early book, Mere Christianity, just how ...read more

Proving Jesus Arose From The Dead

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 20, 2021

Christianity is based and grounded in the Resurrection of Jesus, the promised Messiah of Israel. Every Born-Again Christian should be able to defend this foundational truth.

Christianity proclaims that Jesus rose from the dead and hangs its entire existence on that fact. Yet, there is no practical certainty of it because actual eyewitnesses cannot be questioned due to them being dead! However, a logical case can be made on the certainty of historical evidence. The ...read more

The Reality Of Hell

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 21, 2022

The Bible speaks about a real place called hell, and it’s a place where many people will unfortunately go when they die. But some individuals reason that hell is contradictory to God’s love and mercy and should not be preached.

I have entitled our message this morning “The Reality of Hell.” Hell is a topic that tends to be avoided in a lot of churches and by a lot of pastors today. One person has accurately identified the perception of hell today when he said, “Since the days of fiery sermons from Puritan preachers like ...read more
