Salvation Is By Faith In Jesus Christ

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jun 15, 2007

We are called to pass on the baton of our faith as we received it. This sermon reminds us that salvation is by faith in Jesus and nothing else.

Sports days are upon us once again at our local schools and I had a sense of “been here before” when I was watching my son Matthew practising his sprinting and his baton changing in the relay races at the Junior School this week. Some of the baton changes were smooth and effective, others were slow ...read more

The Scriptures And Our Great Salvation

Contributed by Curtis Kittrell on Aug 20, 2003

Introduction: Our text speaks of salvation as comprehensive and exhaustive, rather than being limited to the initial experience that occurs when a person receives Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Ours is truly a great salvation.

"Peter, Feed My Sheep” (12 Of 21)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022

We often hear Christians say that they believe the Lord Jesus is coming soon to gather His church.

When some Christians say that, it makes you wonder why they say that. I say this because their life-styles do not reflect that they believe He is going to come very soon. Many live their lives as we did as children. Illus: If our parents had to go somewhere, before they left they gave us chores ...read more
