    The Guidance For The Saints

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 21, 2018
     | 4,955 views

    As believers, we experience complete transformation in salvation, and yet our salvation experience is an on-going process. We are saved wholly of grace, but that does not absolve us from responsibility in our Christian walk.

    The Guidance for the Saints 2 Peter 1: 9-11 Our text today is actually a continuation of the conversation we began to consider a few weeks ago. Clearly, Peter is writing to the church – to those saved by grace and added to the body of Christ. While we are not saved by works of the flesh, service ...read more

     | 8,651 views

    Those who are in Christ are aware of the dangers and consequences of sin, and yet most today are unwilling to confront it. While we must work with compassion, we also have an obligation to address sin and deal with it in our lives.

    Seeing Sin for What it Is 1 John 3: 4-10 Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman used to tell of a Methodist preacher who often spoke on the subject of sin. He minced no words, but defined sin as “that abominable thing that God hates.” A leader in his congregation came to him on one occasion and urged ...read more

    Security Of The Believer (Pt. 1)

    Contributed by Thomas Clawser on May 7, 2018
     | 3,230 views

    If we live as God intends and Jesus taught, our security—conditional or unconditional—is in the hands of our Savior.

    One of the things we were taught at Evangelical is that preachers must not avoid difficult subjects or passages: those sincere believers may disagree on. In the next two weeks we consider such a subject. We ask God’s guidance and grace as we seek to understand. The doctrine of unconditional ...read more

    Our response to what's going on in our lives, matters. How can we show others Who we serve if our reaction to God is sinful? If we cannot even respond with reverence … how will we live properly?

    Job’s Worst Day Job Sermon Series, Part 2 Introduction (Job Slide) - The book of Job is going to be a very challenging study for us - Most people think this is about a man named Job who had a rough life - However, we can easily fail to focus on the main character … God - I believe this book ...read more

    What King Is Announced By A Star? Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Dec 4, 2021
     | 2,585 views

    Stars cause us to wonder. What was the star that appeared when Jesus was born? Was it a comet from a remote part of the solar system which happened to arrive at just the right time? Or was the universe itself acknowledging the coming of its creator and king?

    Last Sunday we started our Christmas series of talks. I’ve given the series the title ‘NOT YOUR USUAL KING’. There are lots of ways in which Jesus is NOT your usual king. Last week we looked at some prophecies in the Old Testament that gave us the when, where and who of Jesus’ birth. No king ...read more

    Do you have any idea why God created women in the fashion that He did? Why did he choose the bone that he did? Why the rib?

    Do you have any idea why God created women in the fashion that He did? Why did he choose the bone that he did? Why the rib? 1. Not the ankle, foot, hand, head, neck, but the rib. That was the closest bone to the heart. 2. Tonight, we will apply the function of the physical heart to that of the ...read more
