Transformed From Trash To Treasure

Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 19, 2018

To go back to a point in time in your life just before something bad happened to you—something that you could have avoided? And you think: “If I had only thought ...read more

Contributed by James Wallace on Sep 17, 2018

No more chilling, nightmarish warning can be found anywhere in Scripture than Jesus' in Matthew 7:21-23--that many will come before Him on Judgment Day assured they're going to heave and will find out differently.

Conducting Healthy Relationships

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 22, 2018

Maybe they call it a relationship because it can seem like we're on a ship. Sometimes the seas are nice and calm and sometimes they are stormy. And sometimes it can go from calm to stormy in a matter of moments. We need to learn how to navigate.

"No Other Love”

Contributed by Bubot Parago on Feb 14, 2019

Jesus went beyond just dying for His friends, He died for His enemies, that is, He died for you and for me, because we’re all sinners. THAT IS LOVE! NO OTHER LOVE CAN COMPARE WITH THIS. NEVER WILL BE.

God's Grace Is Not A License To Sin

Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 4, 2013

Just because we're saved by grace, that doesn't give us a license to sin. In this lesson we'll expound upon Paul's words in Romans 6:1, "Shall we continue to sin that grace may abound?"

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?” Romans 6:1 On the surface it seems strange that anyone, especially Christians, would think that it would be okay to continue to sin so that God’s grace may abound toward us. Yet, it seems that was the ...read more

The Fire And The Calf

Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Nov 7, 2012

God told Joshua the reason He would not answer their prayers or protect Israel was because "there is sin in the camp". I believe that is true for the church and Christians today. If you're afraid to preach sin... don't look at this one.

Sin in the Camp Joshua 7 Today I want to talk to you about something very serious… sin in the camp. I believe this is one of the biggest problems in the world today... sin in the camp.... Sin in God’s people I think most Christians do not take this very seriously because they say to ...read more
