Gratitude

Contributed by Ken Ritz on Mar 1, 2016

What does the Bible tell us about gratitude, thanks, and praise to God?

Gratitude I heard a story… A priest, a minister, and a rabbi want to see who’s best at his job. So they each go into the woods, find a bear, and attempt to convert it. Later they get together. The priest begins: “When I found the bear, I read to him from the Catechism ...read more

Authentic Versus Counterfeit Faith (Ii) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on May 27, 2024

This message examines the qualities of saving faith as revealed in Romans 4:18-22. In this chapter, Paul uses Abraham's example to teach the kind of faith response to God that ultimately leads to eternal salvation. Hint: It is not easy believism.

Intro A major theme in Romans 4 is faith. Paul is aggressively contending for justification by faith alone. The issue we are currently addressing is the kind of faith Paul has in mind when he uses the word. We know from James 2 that some forms of faith are dead and worthless. We know from Jesus’s ...read more

A Fresh Look At The Cross

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Mar 22, 2021

In the ancient world, the cross was a depraved and distasteful affair. Romans used it, but the sparse reference to it in their literature shows their aversion to it. They considered it a barbarian form of punishment Similarly, the Jews detested it.

Judaism has the Star of David and Islam the Crescent. In this century the Communists were known for the hammer and the sickle and the Nazis ...read more

Zechariah’s Third Vision: City Without Walls) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Nov 10, 2021

The Jews in Jerusalem were thinking too small in their expectations of God's goodness. God's future for his people is so abundant that man-made walls could not contain the blessings. Jerusalem will be a "city without walls."

We are becoming familiar with the book of Zechariah. For most Christians, it is a closed book. But God is opening this word to us because it is so relevant to world events today and to our personal journey in God. Today we enter Zechariah’s third vision recorded in chapter 2. The vision, as a ...read more

No Boasting In The Law Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Mar 12, 2024

One who would be justified must keep the entire law perfectly. Thus the Law condemns.

2:17. “Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law and make your boast in God,” Following the authorized text and its Greek, that word “indeed” probably doesn’t fit.
