Slave Or Free? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 21, 2010

The world believes that if they can be free of God, they’ll be free to do as they wish? But the Bible teaches us that everyone is a slave to something, but does that really make sense?

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 13, 2024

Grace Versus Works - Saved By The Faith Of Jesus

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Aug 20, 2025

In the Bible, Jesus is often referred to as God's "free gift" (Romans 5:15 NIV). A person is free to reject that gift just as they are free to reject the offer of friendship and love from another.

Works-based Christianity is similar to the principle of Karma, which is the "law of the deed," a centuries-old worldwide belief that if you do good things, good will come back to you, and if you do bad things, bad will come back to you. It is believed that suffering is a result of a ...read more

Blessed Are -

Contributed by Steve Gladwell on Sep 1, 2001

Concentrates on the second beatitude with brief comment on teh first.

Recharging Work

Contributed by Tim Smith on Mar 9, 2009

There were 44 separate groups of people working for the overwhelming task of rebuilding the walls. Without them working together they culd not have rebuilt the walls reminding us that we can accomplish more together than if just one person tried to do all

Recharge Your Work Nehemiah 3: 1-4,6-8, 31-32 At first glance, Nehemiah chapter 3 looks a bit dry. One commentator refers to it as a "colorless memorandum of assignments."
